What Is Upper Blepharoplasty?
Upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance and function of the upper eyelids. With age, skin loses elasticity, fat may accumulate, and the eyelid crease can become obscured. These changes may cause the eyes to look heavy, tired, or sad—even when patients feel well-rested.
By removing excess skin, Dr. Attenello creates a more defined upper eyelid crease and a youthful, alert appearance. In some cases, this procedure also improves peripheral vision by lifting drooping skin that obstructs sightlines.
Upper eyelid surgery addresses:
- Excess or sagging skin that creates hooding
- Drooping upper lids that obscure the natural crease
- Puffiness caused by fat pads
- Tired, aged, or stern expression

Your Beverly Hills Upper Blepharoplasty: What to Expect
Upper Eyelid Surgery Consultation
Dr. Attenello carefully evaluates each patient’s anatomy, skin quality, and goals. She explains how upper eyelid surgery restores definition and balance, often reviewing photos and examples from her before-and-after gallery to help patients visualize potential outcomes.
The Blepharoplasty Procedure
Upper blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia in Dr. Attenello’s fully accredited Beverly Hills surgical suite, ensuring both comfort and safety. If performed alone, it can be done in-office under local anesthesia only. The procedure generally takes one to two hours, depending on the individual patient’s anatomy and goals.
Incisions are carefully placed within the natural fold of the upper eyelid so that any resulting scars are discreet and well-concealed. Through these small incisions, Dr. Attenello removes precise amounts of excess skin, repositions or trims fat deposits if needed, and gently tightens the underlying tissues. This meticulous approach restores a smoother, more defined eyelid contour without altering natural expression.
Dr. Attenello’s artistic eye and advanced technique ensure that the results appear refreshed and balanced, never hollow, uneven, or overcorrected. The goal is to create a youthful, rested appearance that complements the rest of the face while preserving the unique character of each patient’s eyes.
Upper Eyelid Surgery Recovery
Most patients experience mild swelling or bruising during the first week, which resolves quickly. Stitches are removed within 5 to 7 days, and light social activities often resume after 1 to 2 weeks. Final results refine gradually over 1 to 3 months as the tissues heal and settle naturally.
Results are long-lasting, though the natural aging process continues over time. With proper care, patients enjoy brighter, refreshed eyes for many years.
