As you age, your eyelids can make you look tired, even when you’re well-rested. Sagging skin around the eyes can add years to your appearance and even interfere with your vision. At StarkMD Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Center in Philadelphia, PA, we understand how important it is to feel confident in your appearance. Dr. Ran Stark, a double board-certified plastic surgeon, specializes in Upper Blepharoplasty—a cosmetic eyelid surgery designed to lift and rejuvenate your upper eyelids. Our goal is to help you achieve a natural, refreshed look that reflects the energy and vitality you feel on the inside.
Upper Blepharoplasty, also known as an upper eyelid lift, is a type of blepharoplasty surgery that removes excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper eyelids. This surgery is especially effective for those who have drooping eyelids, also known as hooded eyes, which can make you look older or more tired than you actually are. It can also enhance the upper eyelid crease, providing a more defined and youthful appearance. In some cases, excess upper eyelid skin can even hang over the eyelashes, obstructing your vision. At StarkMD, Philadelphia Upper Blepharoplasty surgeon, Dr. Ran Stark uses advanced techniques to carefully and precisely remove the excess tissue, creating a smoother, more youthful eyelid contour. The procedure is designed to be minimally invasive, with incisions made along the natural folds of your eyelids, resulting in virtually invisible scars once healed.
Undergoing Upper Blepharoplasty offers a range of benefits that extend beyond just a youthful appearance. This procedure can significantly improve your quality of life by enhancing both the function and aesthetics of your eyes.
