Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that takes around 1-2 hours and is typically performed under local anaesthesia. The steps include:
Recovery from upper blepharoplasty is relatively straightforward. You may experience some swelling, bruising, and mild tightness around the eyes, typically resolving within a week. Cold compresses and keeping your head elevated at night can aid in quicker recovery. Most patients resume daily activities within 7-10 days, with the full results becoming visible as any remaining swelling diminishes over the following weeks.
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty offers long-lasting benefits by enhancing the natural contour, shape, and smoothness of the upper eyelid. Patients often notice:

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty offers long-lasting results. Many patients enjoy a refreshed appearance for 10-15 years, although individual outcomes can vary depending on factors like lifestyle and skin care.
The procedure itself is pain-free due to local anaesthesia. Some mild discomfort during recovery can be expected, which typically resolves within a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
Most patients recover within 7-10 days, with residual swelling gradually subsiding over several weeks. Patients can typically return to work or social activities after a week.
Scars are minimal and typically hidden within the natural crease of the eyelid, becoming nearly invisible over time.
While upper blepharoplasty is generally safe, risks may include infection, scarring, or temporary changes in eyelid sensation. Choosing a highly skilled surgeon, like Dr. Harb, reduces these risks and ensures optimal, aesthetically pleasing results.
