How Do I Get Rid of Upper Eyelid Fat?

It’s not unusual for patients who are aging to have excess
eyelid skin associated with prominent fat pads.  This not only makes the eyelids look heavy but also makes
the patient look tired.  For these
reasons, patients often request upper eyelid blepharoplasty.

This procedure is performed through an upper eyelid incision
and removes excess skin and fat collections.  The procedure can be performed under local or general
anesthesia.  Patients typically
recover in about 5 to 7 days following surgery.

Patients who undergo this procedure often look younger,
rested, and more energetic.  For
this reason, the procedure has high patient satisfaction.

Due to the delicate anatomy in this area, we generally advise a surgical approach to fat removal. Non surgical methods such as mesotherapy are dangerous around the eye and should generally be avoided.
