Answer: Options to Improve Upper Eyelid Sagging The eyes are the windows to the soul. All too often, however, they seem to reveal exhaustion. The very delicate skin around the eyes tends to get crepey and puffy due to fatigue and stress. Eyelid surgery has become one of my most popular procedures. If excess upper eyelid skin is hooding the eye and needs to be eliminated, an incision is made in the crease at the top of the lid and excess fat and skin are removed. The incisions are closed and sutured on the underside of the skin. If undereye puffiness and dark circles need to be eliminated, an incision is made along the lower lashes that will be almost invisible when it heals. Next, the fat below is either removed or redistributed and the saggy and crepey excess skin is then pulled up and cut off. The incisions are closed with tiny sutures, which are removed in four to six days. The incisions are along your eyelash line, making it a virtually scarless procedure. An effective non-surgical option that might benefit you is Thermage, which can tighten the skin around the eyes. The new and improved Thermage is a virtually painless, non-invasive (no incision!) treatment that can tighten skin and stimulate your body to make healthier collagen—the building block that provides structure to your skin. Fast and easy, Thermage requires no downtime from normal activities.

Answer: Upper blepharoplasty for saggy upper eyelids The only option to remove the extra skin on the upper eyelids is a surgical blepharoplasty. The primary goal of an upper blepharoplasty is to remove excess hooded skin on the upper lids. The incision is located directly in the crease and excess skin is removed to rejuvenate the upper eyelids. The procedure can be performed under either local or general anesthesia, as a brief outpatient procedure. For many examples, please see the link below
