What is it?

Upper blepharoplasty, commonly referred to as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic and functional procedure that removes excess skin, muscle and fat from the upper eyelids. Over time, the skin around the eyes naturally loses elasticity, which can lead to sagging, puffiness or even obstructed vision.


This procedure is often chosen by patients in Battle Creek and Jackson who want to restore a more alert, youthful appearance or improve their peripheral vision. In some cases, upper eyelid heaviness may be accompanied by eyebrow descent, which can be addressed in combination. Blepharoplasty offers subtle but impactful rejuvenation, especially for patients who feel they constantly look tired or aged.


What to expect

Typically performed as an outpatient surgery under local anesthesia, sometimes with light sedation. It usually takes under an hour and incisions are hidden in the natural eyelid crease to minimize visible scarring.


Patients can expect mild swelling, bruising, and tightness for a few days, with most returning to work or daily tasks within 5–7 days. Eye drops and ointments may be prescribed during recovery and strenuous activity should be avoided for about two weeks. Dr. Sumita Saha, our experienced plastic surgeon, provides personalized post-care instructions and follow-ups to ensure smooth healing and natural-looking results.
