Upper Blepharoplasty at He Clinic Bangkok
What is Upper Blepharoplasty?
Upper blepharoplasty, often referred to as double eyelid surger,y is a form of eyelid lift surgery that aims to improve the appearance of the upper eyelids. It may involve creating or refining an eyelid crease and removing or repositioning excess skin and/or fat where clinically appropriate.
Many patients seek an upper eyelid lift to address concerns such as:
- A heavy or hooded upper eyelid appearance
- Excess skin that sits over the lash line
- Puffiness from prominent upper-lid fat pads
- A crease that is low, faint, or uneven
The goal is a balanced, natural result that fits your facial structure while keeping expectations realistic and outcomes individual.
Benefits of Upper Blepharoplasty
- A more refreshed appearance: may reduce the look of upper-lid heaviness and improve eyelid definition (results vary)
- Functional support in selected cases: if excess upper-lid skin (dermatochalasis) contributes to a reduced upper visual field, surgery may help open that field after proper assessment
- Incisions placed in natural folds: scars are typically positioned in the eyelid crease and often fade over time, though scar healing varies
- Long-lasting improvement for many patients: results can be durable, but natural ageing and skin changes continue over time
How Upper Blepharoplasty Can Improve Vision?
Some people experience a hooded upper eyelid due to excess skin (dermatochalasis) that can sit over the lash line and, in some cases, limit the upper peripheral vision. When this is the primary cause of visual obstruction, an upper blepharoplasty may help by:
- Opening the upper visual field: removing excess skin can improve the line of sight in selected patients
- Reducing eyelid heaviness: Some patients report less strain from compensating with forehead muscles
- Improving comfort: irritation from skin rubbing or a heavy-lid sensation may improve in certain cases
Important clarification: true ptosis is different from excess skin. Ptosis refers to drooping of the eyelid margin due to reduced function of the eyelid-lifting muscle/tendon and may require a different procedure (ptosis repair) or a combined plan. Your doctor will assess this during the consultation.
The Procedure
- Consultation: Your surgeon evaluates eyelid anatomy, skin laxity, crease design goals, eye health, and medical history. A personalised plan is created and explained clearly.
- Anaesthesia: Upper eyelid surgery is commonly performed under local anaesthesia, sometimes with sedation, depending on the plan and patient needs.
- Incision and correction: A small incision is typically placed along the natural eyelid crease. Excess skin and/or fat may be conservatively adjusted where appropriate, and the crease is designed according to your anatomy and goals.
- Closure and early healing: The incision is closed with fine sutures. You will receive detailed aftercare instructions and a follow-up plan.
Recovery and Aftercare
It’s common to experience temporary swelling, bruising, tightness, or mild irritation after surgery. Recovery varies, but many patients notice that swelling and bruising improve gradually over 1–2 weeks, with continued settling over several weeks.
Aftercare guidance may include:
- Cold compresses for the first day(s), as advised
- Keeping the head elevated when resting
- Avoiding strenuous exercise for a short period (per doctor guidance)
- Protecting the eyes from the sun and irritants
- Attending follow-up visits for wound review and suture care (if applicable)
Contact the clinic promptly if you experience worsening pain, significant bleeding, fever, sudden vision changes, or any concerning symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our Upper Blepharoplasty service.
Yes, upper blepharoplasty can improve vision in cases where excess skin or fat on the upper eyelids obstructs the field of sight. By removing this tissue, the procedure can help open up your line of vision, particularly in the upper and peripheral areas.
Recovery time typically takes around 1-2 weeks, with most swelling and bruising subsiding within the first week. Patients can generally return to normal activities after 10-14 days, although strenuous activities should be avoided for a few weeks.
The incisions made during upper blepharoplasty are carefully placed in the natural folds of the eyelid, which makes any scarring minimal and often unnoticeable. Over time, the scars tend to fade and become less visible.
If you have sagging or excess skin on your upper eyelids, experience vision obstruction, or feel your eyelids are affecting your appearance or comfort, you may be an ideal candidate for the procedure. A consultation with one of our surgeons will help determine whether the surgery is right for you.
