Upper Eyelid Surgery
What Is Upper Eyelid Surgery?
Upper eyelid surgery corrects age-related changes by removing or repositioning loose skin, fat, or muscle from the upper eyelids. These issues often cause hooding, heaviness, or vision obstruction. Using discreet incisions along the eyelid’s natural crease, our surgeons reshape tissue to create a lifted, defined contour. The outcome is a rested, open eye area that complements your facial harmony and boosts both appearance and function.
