Removing excess skin above the eyes for a wider, clearer gaze
Excess skin on the upper lids can make the eyes look smaller, narrow the visual field, and cause eye fatigue. By excising slack skin either right along the lash line or just beneath the brow, we lift the lid and restore a crisp, open appearance.
Ideal for people who notice…
- Small-looking eyes
- A narrow field of view
- Sagging or hooded lids
- A heavy feeling in the eyelids
Procedure Details
Upper Eyelid Skin Removal
Excess sagging skin and fat from the upper eyelid are removed and the area is sutured.
Brow Lift (Sub-brow Incision)
Sagging skin is excised along an incision designed to follow the shape of the eyebrow, and the area is sutured.
Recovery, Downtime & Precautions
Swelling & Bruising
Swelling and bruising are most noticeable during the first 2 to 3 days after surgery, but they gradually subside over 1 to 2 weeks and typically resolve completely within about three months.
Daily Life
Shower allowed the same day, but avoid getting your eyes wet.
Face-wash and shampoo allowed the next day. Alcohol consumption, bathing, exercise, makeup application, and contact lens use should be resumed no earlier than one week after surgery.
Possible Risks and Side-Effects
Swelling, redness, pain, bruising, oedema, asymmetry, allergic reaction, etc.
