Upper Blepharoplasty in Jacksonville Beach, FL

Understanding Upper Eyelid Surgery

The skin surrounding the eyes is among the thinnest and most fragile on the human body. Choosing an experienced surgeon is crucial to achieving natural, optimal results. Dr. Amy Kulak specializes in eyelid surgery, having performed thousands of blepharoplasty procedures with exceptional skill and precision.

Why Consider Upper Blepharoplasty?

As you age, eyelid skin stretches, collagen production decreases, and supporting muscles weaken. These changes can cause:

• Excess fat gathering above and below eyelids
• Sagging eyebrows
• Droopy upper eyelids
• Potential vision obstruction

Procedure Overview

An upper blepharoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure designed to address excess skin, tissue, or fat on the upper eyelids. The surgery can be cosmetic or functional, aimed at:

• Reducing signs of aging
• Improving peripheral vision
• Restoring a youthful eye appearance

Surgical Technique

Dr. Kulak carefully identifies the upper eyelid crease and designs a precise skin excision. The procedure involves:

• Conservative skin removal
• Preservation of critical eyelid muscle structure
• Strategic fat contouring
• Suture placement within the natural eyelid crease

Recovery and Expectations

Post-procedure care includes:

• Keeping head elevated
• Applying ice to reduce swelling
• Avoiding contact lenses during initial healing
• Expecting normal appearance within 1-2 weeks

Important Considerations

Upper blepharoplasty does not address facial wrinkles or crow's feet. Patients often combine this procedure with additional treatments like dermal fillers for comprehensive rejuvenation.
