Refine excess upper eyelid skin and contour for a brighter, cleaner lid crease and improved comfort when hooding is present.
Upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes or repositions redundant upper eyelid skin (and fat when appropriate) to restore a cleaner eyelid platform. The goal is a natural crease, improved symmetry, and — in some patients — relief from the sensation of heaviness.
Incisions are typically hidden within the natural lid crease. Dr. Manandhar emphasises conservative tissue handling to reduce the risk of a hollow or operated appearance.
Adults with true dermatochalasis (excess upper lid skin), asymmetry, or difficulty with makeup application due to hooding may benefit. Some patients combine upper blepharoplasty with brow procedures when brow position contributes to the problem.
Patients with dry eye, thyroid eye disease, or significant eyelid laxity require careful evaluation and may need adjunctive treatments or alternative plans.
Cleaner upper lid contour and crease definition
May improve peripheral sensation of heaviness from redundant skin
Incisions oriented to follow natural eyelid crease anatomy
Potential to combine with brow procedures when indicated
Design & consent
Skin pinch measurements, crease marking, photography, and a clear surgical plan aligned to your goals.
Precision excision
Tissue removal or repositioning tailored to your lid anatomy and fat compartments.
Closure
Fine layered closure to support neat scar healing along the crease.
Recovery guidance
Cold compresses, eye protection, drops if prescribed, and scheduled review.
Swelling and bruising are common early on; most patients resume light activities within one to two weeks depending on healing and occupation.
Avoid rubbing the eyes, wear sunglasses outdoors, and follow eyelid hygiene advice. Contact the clinic promptly if you notice vision changes, severe pain, or unusual swelling.
Next step
Arrange a confidential consultation to review options, alternatives, and a personalised plan with Dr. Manandhar.
