Upper Blepharoplasty in Foothill Ranch, CA

What is an Upper Blepharoplasty?

An upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids. At Heavenly Plastic Surgery, each surgery is customized to meet the unique needs of the individual patient, ensuring natural-looking and personalized results.

Candidates for Upper Eyelid Surgery

Ideal candidates for upper blepharoplasty typically:

• Are in good overall health
• Have minimal to no medical complications
• Possess well-controlled blood pressure
• Experience sagging upper eyelid skin
• Have vision obstruction due to excess eyelid skin

Procedure Details

The upper blepharoplasty procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia. Dr. David Nguyen carefully makes an incision within the natural eyelid crease, removes excess skin and muscle, and if necessary, removes a small amount of fat from the orbit.

Surgical Approach

• Local anesthesia administration
• Strategic incision placement
• Precise skin and muscle removal
• Potential fat reduction
• Permanent suture closure

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect minimal downtime with most swelling and bruising resolving within 1-2 weeks. Most individuals can return to normal activities quickly, with full healing occurring around 6 weeks post-surgery.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While upper blepharoplasty is generally safe, potential risks include bleeding, infection, and rare complications related to eye surgery. Patients can minimize risks by following post-operative instructions carefully.

Anticipated Results

Patients typically experience a more refreshed and youthful appearance. Many report improved vision and enhanced confidence after the procedure. Results can be further optimized with appropriate skincare treatments.
