Upper blepharoplasty, commonly known as an upper eyelid lift, involves removing or repositioning excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat from the upper eyelids to refresh and rejuvenate the eye area. The "before" photos typically show saggy, hooded, or droopy upper eyelids that can make the eyes appear tired or older. The "after" photos reveal a more youthful, rested, and open-eyed appearance with less excess skin and smoother contours around the eyelids. Specifically, the transformation includes reduced sagging and hooding, a more defined eyelid crease, and an overall lighter, brighter eye appearance. Many patients experience a natural look post-surgery with minimal visible scarring and a significant improvement in eye shape and symmetry. Recovery time generally involves a few weeks of healing with bruising and swelling subsiding gradually, leading to the final rejuvenated result.
In summary:
- Before: Saggy, droopy upper eyelids with excess skin and sometimes fat.
- After: Smooth, tighter upper eyelids with a youthful, refreshed eye appearance.
- Results typically appear natural with minimal scarring.
- Recovery involves some initial swelling and bruising but leads to significant aesthetic improvement.
