Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Eyelid Lift (Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty) in Vancouver, BC

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and, when needed, adjusts underlying fat from the upper eyelids to improve heaviness, hooding and loss of eyelid definition while preserving a natural-looking eye shape.

01. The First Step

Your upper eyelid blepharoplasty journey begins with a consultation with Dr. Paul Denton, where he will assess excess eyelid skin, eyelid contour, brow position and overall facial anatomy. This is also an important opportunity to distinguish true eyelid skin excess from brow descent or other concerns that may contribute to heaviness around the eyes. Dr. Denton will determine whether upper blepharoplasty alone or a complementary procedure would best address your goals.

02. Procedure at a Glance

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty removes carefully selected excess skin and, when appropriate, adjusts underlying fat to create a smoother, more defined upper eyelid contour. The incision is placed within the natural upper eyelid crease, helping the scar remain discreet as it heals.

‍

Most patients are comfortable having the procedure performed under oral sedation, although general anesthesia may also be offered depending on patient preference and the surgical plan. The procedure is tailored to preserve the natural shape and character of the eyes while creating a refreshed appearance.

03. The Recovery

Swelling, bruising and mild tightness around the upper eyelids are expected during the first week after surgery. Sutures are typically removed during the early stages of healing, and many patients feel comfortable returning to work and social activities within approximately one to two weeks. Bruising and swelling gradually improve over the following weeks, while the incision continues to soften and fade over several months. The final eyelid contour becomes increasingly refined as the tissues fully settle.
