ANSWER Upper Blepharoplasty
Upper blepharoplasty removes the loose skin and excess fat that come with age, restoring defined, youthful eyes. When sagging skin blocks the upper visual field, buries the crease, or presses lashes into the eye, functional improvement can be expected as well.
When Upper Blepharoplasty is needed
If any of the following apply to you, we recommend a specialist consultation.
Droopy upper lids
Loose skin covers the crease and makes the eyes look small
A blocked upper view
Sagging skin encroaches on the upper visual field
A tired-looking face
Lid sagging has made you look older and weary
Lashes poking the eye
Sagging skin presses the lashes inward
CUSTOM DESIGN
Balancing excision amount and line
Removing more skin is not better — the balance between relieving sagging and preserving comfortable eye closure matters most. ANSWER calculates the excision from the skin that must remain, and designs a natural line height that suits your age.
- 1Conservative excision that protects eye closure
- 2Line height designed for your age and look
- 3Sub-brow lift advised when the brow itself droops
ANSWER POINT
Restoring function and shape together
In midlife and beyond, lid sagging often coexists with weakened opening strength. ANSWER combines ptosis correction when needed to improve both the visual field and opening power, and closes with fine sutures hidden in the crease for a natural recovery.
- 1Ptosis correction combined when needed
- 2Incision and closure designed to hide in the crease
- 3Sagging fat addressed for a smooth upper lid

Excision Design
The skin to remove and the line position are designed for your age.
Skin & Fat Work
Loose skin and excess fat are addressed by the planned amount.
Line Formation & Closure
A natural line is created and closed with scar-minimizing sutures.
Recovery Care
After stitch removal, scar care and swelling are monitored.
Frequently Asked Questions
QIs upper blepharoplasty different from double eyelid surgery?
The techniques are similar, but upper blepharoplasty centers on removing sagging skin and fat, while double eyelid surgery centers on creating a crease. In midlife and beyond, both aims are often combined into one natural design.
QWill my eyes fail to close after surgery?
Excessive excision can impair closure, so our principle is conservative removal calculated from the skin that must remain. Early temporary stiffness typically resolves with recovery.
QMy brows droop heavily — will upper blepharoplasty be enough?
When the brow itself droops, upper blepharoplasty alone has limits and a sub-brow lift may fit better. We assess where the sagging originates and advise the right procedure.
