Elevating Upper Blepharoplasty Surgery With Experience and Artistry

The primary concern among patients considering blepharoplasty is a sad or tired appearance caused by aging eyelids. Men and women notice this as one of the earliest signs of aging, and in some cases, it can be genetic, patients frequently share that a parent or sibling also required eyelid surgery. For others, maintaining a refreshed, confident appearance in a competitive workforce is an important motivation for seeking eyelid rejuvenation.

Steps to Addressing Upper Eyelid Concerns

  1. If the main goal of upper eyelid surgery in Denver and Fort Collins is to look younger, then correction of volume loss may be the primary target.

  2. If skin excess is the main concern, surgical correction may be the correct choice.

  3. If skin quality and mild laxity are present, laser resurfacing can tighten skin, remove wrinkles, and even create a lifted brow.

Why Get Upper Eyelid Surgery?

If colleagues mention that you look tired or sad, correction of this look may be possible with treatment. For many, the concern can be vision-related. Droopy upper eyelids can restrict peripheral vision. Ladies may be interested in the ability to see the eye makeup that they have put on.

For some, the ‘crepey’ quality of skin is more of a concern than skin excess. In the lower lid region, the main complaints are dark circles or bulging fat pads, in addition to a constantly tired appearance.

The Benefits of Upper Eyelid Surgery for Denver & Fort Collins Patients

  • Correcting excess eyelid skin, protruding fat, and dark circles with Upper Eyelid Surgery can help to make you look several years younger and more refreshed. Improvement of crepey skin quality subtracts even more years from your facial appearance.
  • Blepharoplasty or laser targets individual regions, so it is customized for your particular needs.
  • These procedures are cost-effective as a localized problem is addressed, without needing to address the entire face.
  • Most lower eyelid procedures can reduce or eliminate the expense of filler injections in that region.

NEO resolving chronic back pain

I can lie on the floor or the couch, do workouts, and stand for long periods of time without any back issues whatsoever. I highly recommend this treatment.”

Most of my life, I was happy with my C-cup breast size. But after having four children and turning 41, my breasts were small and sagging and barely an A-cup! I made a consultation appointment with Dr. Duncan because of her 20+ years of experience, and at my initial consultation, I immediately felt comfortable. Dr. Duncan listened to me and took the time to answer all of my questions. I consulted with two other plastic surgeons, who both recommended an implant size larger than that of Dr. Duncan. I would have been very unhappy with breasts larger than I have now!! I definitely made the right choice in selecting Dr. Duncan for my breast augmentation.

Everything went smoothly and healed up great

“I had a rhinoplasty with Dr. Duncan about a month and a half ago. Everything went smoothly and healed up great! I had to get a septoplasty as well with a different doctor, and she was so great with accommodating for that. Little to no bruising anywhere, just a scar where my nose was opened, but with scar cream it is fading slowly. I love my new nose!”

What is an upper blepharoplasty?

Upper blepharoplasty, also known as upper eyelid surgery, is a procedure that removes excess skin and reshapes the upper eyelids to create a more youthful, refreshed appearance while improving eyelid contour.

Who is a good candidate for upper eyelid surgery?

Good candidates are individuals bothered by drooping upper eyelids, excess eyelid skin, a tired or sad appearance, or vision obstruction caused by sagging eyelids. A consultation can determine if surgery is right for you.

Can upper blepharoplasty improve my vision?

Yes. In some cases, excess upper eyelid skin can restrict peripheral vision. Removing this excess tissue may improve your field of vision while also enhancing your appearance.

Will upper eyelid surgery make me look younger?

Many patients find that upper blepharoplasty helps them look more youthful, rested, and refreshed by eliminating sagging skin that contributes to an aged or fatigued appearance.

What concerns can upper blepharoplasty address?

Upper blepharoplasty can address excess eyelid skin, hooded eyelids, a tired appearance, and age-related changes around the eyes. It may also be combined with other treatments to address volume loss or skin quality concerns.

How long do upper blepharoplasty results last?

Results are long-lasting for most patients. While the natural aging process continues, many individuals enjoy a more youthful eyelid appearance for years following surgery.

Can upper blepharoplasty be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Upper eyelid surgery is often combined with lower eyelid surgery, laser resurfacing, brow rejuvenation, or other facial procedures to achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

What is recovery like after upper eyelid surgery?

Most patients experience temporary swelling and bruising after surgery. Recovery varies by individual, but many people can return to normal daily activities within a relatively short period as healing progresses.

Will my upper blepharoplasty results look natural?

When performed by an experienced surgeon, upper blepharoplasty is designed to restore a rested and refreshed appearance while maintaining your natural facial features and expressions.

Why should I choose Dr. Diane Duncan for upper blepharoplasty?

Dr. Diane Duncan is a board-certified plastic surgeon with more than 30 years of experience. She is recognized for her expertise in eyelid rejuvenation, publishes medical research, and lectures nationally and internationally on surgical and minimally invasive facial rejuvenation techniques.
