Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper blepharoplasty eliminates the imperfection of the upper eyelid, which consists of the appearance of excess skin and medial fatty hernias that progressively worsen with age.

Upper blepharoplasty, performed by a Specialist Cosmetic Surgeon, is a safe procedure delivering natural results. Dr Weiss, specialist in facial cosmetic surgery in Paris (Hauts-de-Seine), invites you to discover the answers to the main questions about upper blepharoplasty.

This problem, equally present in women and men, begins to appear from age 35 to 40. However, it can appear earlier due to congenital predisposition.

This first sign of ageing is responsible for the heavy, tired, stressed, and sad appearance of the gaze.

The excess skin of the upper eyelid is due to loss of skin tone, and the unsightly fullness of the medial portion (inner canthus) is caused by fatty hernias that significantly weigh down the gaze. The upper eyelid takes on a "visor" or "hood" appearance.

In the case of age-related upper eyelid imperfections, we speak of rejuvenation blepharoplasty.

Upper blepharoplasty corrects drooping eyelids and opens up the gaze.

Upper blepharoplasty is a well-established, frequently performed procedure, also called a gaze lift or eye lift.

It can be performed under potentiated or assisted local anaesthesia, but most often, for patient comfort, general anaesthesia is offered given the very short procedure duration.

Following very precise markings, the maximum amount of excess skin is removed while leaving enough eyelid to ensure complete eye closure, ocular globe coverage, and sufficient occlusion.

The incision is made at the eyelid crease, which advantageously conceals the scar.

The excess skin (dermatochalasis) is removed without any tension, allowing the eye to close naturally and effortlessly afterwards.

During the same procedure, excess fat in the medial and mid-eyelid area is removed, simultaneously correcting the fatty hernias that weigh down the gaze.

The scars remain very discreet and the final sutures are removed after one week.

The essential aspect of upper blepharoplasty is to preserve the shape of the eyes and the characteristic gaze unique to each individual.

Dr Weiss's blepharoplasty approach respects your natural gaze expressions, does not modify the shape of your eyes, and rejuvenates your gaze naturally, maintaining harmony with the rest of the face.
