What to Expect from Your Procedure

The upper eyelid lift is often performed using local anesthesia and/or sedation, though general anesthesia is available to you if you prefer. In either case, Dr. Chopra and his team will do everything they can to ensure that you're as comfortable as possible throughout the procedure.

To begin the procedure, Dr. Chopra will make careful incisions along the crease of your upper eyelids, which will allow him to remove excess skin and fat according to your bespoke treatment plan. Once he has achieved your desired look, he’ll carefully close the incisions with sutures to create a more open, refreshed, and youthful eye appearance.

Your Rest and Recovery

After being discharged, you will want to make sure that you rest and avoid any strenuous activities for the first few days. It’ll be important to keep your head elevated, even while you’re sleeping, as this will significantly help to reduce any swelling you’re experiencing. Dr. Chopra’s team will also prescribe eye drops that can help keep your eyes from drying and promote healing.

Your sutures will be removed about a week after your surgery. Since your eyes may be sensitive to light and wind for a few weeks, we recommend wearing sunglasses when going outdoors for both protection and comfort. Dr. Chopra will also schedule follow-up visits, which will help him assess your healing progress and make sure you’re satisfied with your results. Your final results will become visible after about five to six weeks.

What's the recovery time for an upper eyelid lift procedure?

Most patients find that they can return to non-strenuous activities in about seven to 10 days after surgery.

Can an upper eyelid lift be combined with other facial procedures?

Absolutely! Your upper eyelid lift can be performed in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation procedures like a lower eyelid lift, a forehead lift, or a facelift. We also offer a number of injectable and non-surgical treatment options that can further complement your upper eyelid lift results. Be sure to ask Dr. Chopra about this during your consultation.

It’s best to check with your insurance provider for specifics.
