Upper Blepharoplasty

The upper eyelids are often one of the earliest areas to show signs of aging. Over time, excess skin and fullness can create hooding, heaviness, and a tired appearance that may make patients look older or fatigued even when they feel well-rested.

Upper blepharoplasty removes or repositions excess tissue to restore a smoother, more youthful upper eyelid contour while preserving the natural character of the eyes.

Dr. Ramly carefully evaluates the relationship between the eyelids and brow position to ensure balanced, natural-looking rejuvenation tailored to each patient’s anatomy.

Upper Blepharoplasty May Improve:

  • Hooded upper eyelids

  • Excess upper eyelid skin

  • A tired or heavy appearance

  • Loss of upper eyelid definition

  • Puffiness or fullness of the upper eyelids

  • Visual heaviness caused by excess skin

Dr. Ramly’s Philosophy

Beautiful eyelid surgery should never erase individuality or alter the natural shape of the eyes. Dr. Ramly’s approach focuses on restoring openness and refinement while maintaining harmony with the patient’s facial features.

The result is a refreshed appearance that looks rested, natural, and authentic to the individual.

Combination Procedures

Upper blepharoplasty is often combined with:

  • Brow lift

  • Facelift and neck lift

  • Fat grafting

  • Skin rejuvenation treatments

When appropriate, combining procedures can create more balanced and complete facial rejuvenation.

Who Is a Good Candidate

You may benefit if you notice:

  • Hooded upper lids that make you look tired

  • Eyelid heaviness or droopiness

  • Under-eye bags or puffiness

  • Hollowness or hollow under-eyes after weight loss

  • Loose or excess eyelid or lower-lid skin

  • A desire for rejuvenation without looking altered or exaggerated

  • Facial aging primarily in the eye region, while the rest of the face remains balanced

Ideal candidates value subtlety, personality preservation, and youthful—but natural—results.
