Upper eyelid surgery

​

At Policologna, the process begins with a specialist assessment. The doctor examines the eyelids and brow area, evaluates eye health and determines whether surgery is appropriate.

​

What is upper blepharoplasty?

​

It is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin from the upper eyelid. If needed, some underlying tissue may also be treated. The incision is generally planned in the natural eyelid crease; the anesthesia and technique are determined for each case.

Not all heavy-looking eyelids require blepharoplasty. The cause may also involve the brow or other conditions that should be assessed by a doctor.

​

Who may be assessed for this procedure?

​

An assessment may be appropriate if there is excess skin on the upper eyelids, especially if it makes the eyes look heavy or interferes with vision. The consultation helps identify the cause and determine whether blepharoplasty is the right treatment.

​

What benefits may it offer?

​

• Targeted removal of excess skin when indicated.

• Possible improvement in the field of vision if it is obstructed by excess skin.

• The incision is generally placed in the natural eyelid crease.

• A treatment plan tailored to the individual.

After surgery, swelling, bruising or irritation and temporary dry eyes may occur. Recovery time, scarring and results vary from person to person. During the assessment, the doctor will explain the expected benefits and possible risks.

​

What does the process involve?

​

• Assessment: The doctor examines the eyelids, brows and eye health.

• Surgery: If indicated, the technique and anesthesia are agreed based on the individual case.

• After surgery: You will receive instructions for eye and wound care, along with guidance on follow-up visits.
