Upper Blepharoplasty in La Jolla, CA | Bolitho MD

Refresh Your Eyes, Renew Your Look

The delicate skin around the eyes is often one of the first areas to show signs of aging, leading to drooping eyelids, puffiness, and a tired look. Upper blepharoplasty, commonly referred to as an eyelid lift, is a surgical procedure designed to correct these issues by removing excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids.

Understanding Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper blepharoplasty is a cosmetic and functional eyelid surgery that targets sagging, drooping upper eyelids. The procedure carefully removes excess skin and fatty tissue to create a smoother, more defined eyelid contour, revitalizing your appearance and potentially improving peripheral vision.

Benefits of Upper Eyelid Surgery

• Restores a more youthful, refreshed appearance
• Improves peripheral vision by eliminating droopy eyelid skin
• Enhances confidence and self-esteem
• Reduces puffiness and heaviness in the upper eyelids
• Creates a more defined and contoured eyelid shape

Dr. Bolitho performs upper blepharoplasty using local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.

Patients can expect some initial swelling and bruising, which typically subsides within one to two weeks. Most individuals resume normal activities within 7 to 10 days, with full results becoming apparent as healing progresses.
