Bright. Rested. Beautiful.  

Heavy eyelids can be a result of aging. But often we notice them starting at a young age from genetics and individual anatomy. Heavy eyelids can make us appear tired and less youthful. 

An upper eyelid lift with Dr. Wingate (also known as an upper blepharoplasty) can address these issues, tightening and elevating the area so you look youthful, rested, and like yourself once again.

Reveal Your Youthful Expression

An upper eyelid lift with Dr. Wingate can:

  • Lift and tighten droopy upper eyelids
  • Remove excess skin on the upper eyelids that impacts your vision
  • Restore your naturally bright and open expression

Blepharoplasty Before & After

The Surgery

During the procedure, Dr. Wingate will make tiny incisions carefully hidden inside the natural creases of your upper eyelids. The placement of these incisions is critical because it ensures that any scarring is virtually imperceptible.

Through those tiny openings, Dr. Wingate will remove excess skin, tissue, and fat; tighten the underlying muscles; and gently elevate the entire area. 

The Recovery

After surgery, you will return home the same day to begin healing. Most of our patients can return to their normal daily routine in about 1-2 weeks. And able to put makeup on 2 weeks after surgery, if desired. As you recover from surgery, our entire team is here for you to make sure feel supported and have everything you need to heal.

Upper Eyelid LiftFrequently Asked Questions

What are the signs that I would benefit from an upper eyelid lift?

Will I have scars after upper eyelid surgery?

During upper eyelid surgery, Dr. Wingate hides the incisions within the creases of your upper eyelids. This careful placement ensures that any resulting scars are virtually imperceptible once you have healed.

When can I return to work after upper eyelid surgery?

Most of our Wayne area patients are comfortable returning to work within one week. At that point, the vast majority of swelling and bruising should have dissipated.

Plan Your Complete Rejuvenation

If you have telltale signs of aging in areas other than the upper eyelid—such as the face, brow, neck, and more—Dr. Wingate may recommend combining your upper eyelid lift with a complementary procedure. For our patients, he often performs this surgery alongside a brow lift, facelift, and/or lower eyelid lift to ensure a harmonious transformation.
