Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Upper Eyelid Surgery in Leeds

An Upper Eyelid Lift or Upper Blepharoplasty is a specialist eyelid surgery procedure that removes the folds of loose skin and bulges of protruding fat which sit over the upper eyelids, to produce a less-tired and more youthful appearance. As a result of the downward pull of gravity and loss of elasticity in the skin, the skin and muscles around the eye weaken and stretch resulting in an accumulation of loose skin causing a hooded appearance of the upper eyelid skin. This may run in families and may be accelerated by the effects of smoking, sun-exposure and weight-loss.
