What Is Upper Blepharoplasty?

Upper blepharoplasty, commonly known 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 obstructed vision.


Patients in Battle Creek, Jackson, Kalamazoo, and surrounding Michigan communities often choose upper blepharoplasty to restore a more alert, youthful appearance, improve peripheral vision, or reduce the appearance of tired eyes. In some cases, eyebrow descent can also be addressed in combination with eyelid surgery for a comprehensive upper-face rejuvenation.


Dr. Sumita Saha, our board-certified plastic surgeon, provides personalized, precise care to achieve natural, symmetrical results while prioritizing patient safety and comfort.


What to expect

  • Usually performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia, sometimes with light sedation
  • Surgery typically takes under one hour Incisions are hidden within the natural eyelid crease to minimize visible scarring
  • Postoperative recovery includes mild swelling, bruising, and tightness for several days
  • Most patients in Battle Creek and Jackson can return to work or daily activities within 5–7 days
  • Eye drops or ointments may be prescribed to support healing
  • Detailed post-care instructions and follow-up visits ensure smooth recovery and natural-looking results

Ideal candidates are adults in Battle Creek, Jackson, and surrounding Michigan communities experiencing excess upper eyelid skin, puffiness, or functional vision obstruction.
