Do your eyes always look tired, even when you’re well-rested and energized? If your upper eyelids are drooping or puffy, it may not just be about cosmetics, your vision and confidence could both be affected. That’s why so many people in the Bay Area are turning to upper blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, to refresh their appearance and restore their peripheral vision.
At L&P Aesthetics, Drs. Lieberman, Parikh, and Curti, have helped hundreds of patients rejuvenate their look through this highly effective procedure. In fact, upper blepharoplasty consistently ranks among the top five cosmetic surgeries performed in the U.S., with over 200,000 procedures done annually. And for good reason, it delivers big results with a relatively small investment of time.
The Power of Upper Blepharoplasty: Before and After
Many people come to L&P Aesthetics feeling confused and discouraged because their outward appearance doesn’t match how they feel inside. They may feel energetic, well-rested, and emotionally balanced, yet still receive comments like, “You look tired,” or “Is something wrong?” This disconnect is often due to heavy or sagging upper eyelids, which can make the eyes appear droopy, sad, or aged. In some cases, the excess skin can even affect peripheral vision. Upper blepharoplasty is a highly effective procedure that refreshes the eye area, restoring a more open, alert, and youthful appearance that aligns with how patients truly feel.
Take a look at these transformations through upper blepharoplasty procedures at L&P Aesthetics:
In all of the cases above, the upper eyelids are no longer drooping, and the eyes appear more open, alert, and refreshed. This subtle yet powerful change can enhance a person’s entire facial expression, allowing their inner energy and confidence to shine through. Many people who undergo upper blepharoplasty feel a renewed sense of self—they’re more excited to engage in social activities, update their wardrobe or makeup, and simply enjoy looking as vibrant as they feel. It’s a transformation that goes beyond aesthetics, often inspiring a boost in self-esteem and a more joyful outlook.
What Is Upper Blepharoplasty?
Upper blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper eyelids. As we age, the delicate skin around our eyes loses elasticity and can start to sag, sometimes impairing vision or causing a heavy, “hooded” appearance.
Drs. Lieberman, Parikh, and Curti perform this procedure using advanced techniques designed to minimize downtime and maximize natural-looking results. Depending on the anatomy of your eyelids, they may even place the incision on the inner surface of the eyelid, leaving no visible scar.
Why Patients Choose L&P Aesthetics
Our double-board-certified facial plastic surgeons, Dr. David Lieberman, Dr. Sachin Parikh, and Dr. Steven Curti, are nationally recognized for their expertise in blepharoplasty. They’ve authored medical papers on the topic, lectured at conferences, and most importantly, performed thousands of successful eyelid surgeries for patients across the Bay Area.
Many of our patients say they’ve spent years debating the procedure, only to wonder afterward why they waited so long.
Upper Blepharoplasty: Procedure, Recovery, and Results
- Procedure Time: Upper blepharoplasty typically takes about one hour and is performed under general anesthesia or light sedation.
- Recovery: Patients return home the same day but must have a ride from another person. Mild bruising or swelling is common and usually subsides within 5–7 days. You’ll be back to work or social activities within about a week.
- Results: You’ll start to see visible improvements almost immediately, but final results settle in over a few weeks as swelling continues to subside.
And the best part? The incision is placed within the natural crease of the eyelid, making it virtually invisible once healed.
Upper Blepharoplasty: Is It Right for You?
You may be a good candidate for upper blepharoplasty if:
- Your upper eyelids sag or feel heavy
- You’ve noticed your eyes look smaller or more tired than they used to
- Makeup is harder to apply because of the excess skin
- Your vision is impacted by drooping eyelids
Many of our patients say they feel instantly more confident and refreshed after surgery. The change is subtle, but powerful.
