Introduction to Upper Eyelid Surgery

Also known as upper eyelid blepharoplasty, the surgical procedure is created to rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes and correct severe eyelid sagging. Over time, the upper eyelids can begin to droop. This can make a person appear tired or bored and can make them look older than their actual age. In cases of severe ptosis, the issue may reach the point where a portion of the vision is obscured, which can decrease one’s quality of life.
NYC double-board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kim can utilize his immense technical precision and a sharp eye for facial aesthetics to deliver results that look amazingly natural and beautiful. Dr. Lao has performed numerous upper eyelid blepharoplasty procedures at our New York office and can provide you with outstanding care and results.

What is Upper Eyelid Surgery?

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is one of the most common procedures in cosmetic surgery both in the West and the East. The population of people who desire upper blepharoplasty varies in a wide range of ages, including younger individuals who are trying to combat premature aging and older patients who want to look as young as they feel. For older individuals, the eye often is the tell-tale sign of aging. Combining forehead and brow sagging and skin loosening, excess skin develops hooding over the eyelid margin and in a severe case can block the superior vision. Upper eyelid blepharoplasty reverses the aged look by removing the excess skin and herniated fat and can improve the visual field.


Orbicularis oculi muscle correction is the key point

The orbicularis oculi muscle is responsible for closing the eyelids by tightening them when you blink or shut your eyes.
This circular muscle surrounds the eye area. As it loses elasticity with aging, the overlying skin and fat can begin to sag along with it. To achieve a natural and harmonious eye contour, the orbicularis oculi muscle must be properly addressed and corrected as part of the procedure.
