Understanding Upper Eyelid Surgery in Reno

How the eyelids frame the eyes can significantly impact facial appearance. Aged, wrinkled, or drooping eyelids can create a tired look that doesn't reflect one's true energy. Nevada Eye Plastic Surgery specializes in upper blepharoplasty, allowing patients to restore and enhance their features with a refreshed appearance.

What is Upper Blepharoplasty?

Upper blepharoplasty, commonly known as upper eyelid surgery, addresses cosmetic concerns with one or both upper eyelids. The procedure helps patients overcome aesthetic challenges caused by aging, genetics, or other factors.

Core Issues Addressed by Upper Blepharoplasty

  • Excess eyelid skin
  • Wrinkles and fine lines
  • Droopy upper eyelid
  • Eyelid asymmetry
  • Tired, fatigued appearance

Key Benefits of the Procedure

Board-certified surgeon Dr. Marcus J. Ko, a Harvard Medical School graduate, ensures optimal results through personalized surgical techniques. Upper blepharoplasty offers patients multiple advantages:

  • Long-lasting aesthetic improvements
  • Refreshed, youthful appearance
  • Enhanced facial balance
  • Minimal visible scarring
  • Customized procedural approach

Procedure Overview

Each blepharoplasty procedure is tailored to individual patient needs. Typically, the process involves administering anesthesia, creating precise incisions, removing excess skin, and repositioning tissues. The entire procedure usually takes approximately two hours, with options for combining complementary treatments.

Recovery and Results

Initial recovery takes 1-2 weeks, with patients gradually returning to normal activities. While changes are immediate, final results become fully apparent after swelling subsides, typically within a few months. Maintaining results requires minimizing sun exposure and following a healthy lifestyle.

Personalized Surgical Approach

Dr. Ko's expertise as an oculofacial surgeon allows for refined, nuanced surgical techniques. By understanding complex facial structures, he can create natural-looking results that complement individual patient anatomy.

Complementary Procedures

  • Lower Blepharoplasty
  • Brow Lift

Doctor Ko did a wonderful job correcting the ptosis (droopy eyelid) I'd had since childhood that was worsening with age. I visited the office twice before deciding to go ahead with the surgery, and the staff was very helpful with getting the necessary insurance pre-authorizations. This was my first ever surgery and Dr. Ko and the surgery center staff took great care of me. The doctor even called personally to follow up before a long weekend. Today I had my last follow up and I am delighted with the results. We're lucky to have Dr. Ko and his staff in Reno. Highly recommend!

A few years ago, I had eyelid surgery by Dr. Marcis Ko for a cancerous growth. Now that I’ve returned for a follow up, I remember how truly wonderful he and his staff are. He is so incredibly caring and competent. He answered all my questions with ease and it felt like talking to a trusted friend. I would highly recommend Dr. Ko as an eye surgeon!
