This treatment works to correct aesthetic and functional issues in the upper eyelid, including drooping, ptosis, hooded eyes, or unevenness. In some cases, drooping eyelids may even interfere with vision. By making discrete incisions in the eyelid crease, upper lid blepharoplasty can precisely target the delicate eye area for a smoother, more lifted eyelid look.
Considering an eyelid lift can seem like a big commitment, but this relatively low-risk surgery can transform your eye appearance, end the constant use of eye creams and serums, and restore lost confidence. Our Houston upper blepharoplasty patients see many benefits, including:
Ideal candidates for eyelid surgery are those with aesthetic or functional concerns in the eyelid area who would like to correct these issues via a surgical method.

Our team is here to answer all your questions and address all your concerns, and that starts with a consultation. We will learn about your specific aesthetic goals, your medical history, and any unique needs prior to creating a treatment plan.

Dr. Sukkar will blend technical skill and artistry to deliver outstanding results that look natural and provide an alert, youthful appearance. To start, he will make delicate incisions, usually along the crease of the eyelid, and then excess skin and tissue will be removed and adjusted before sutures are precisely placed. Upper blepharoplasty usually lasts anywhere from one to three hours and is often performed under sedation with local anesthesia, but general anesthesia may be used in some cases.
Some minor side effects like swelling, bruising, or itchiness may occur after this procedure, but recovery is generally not especially painful, and these symptoms resolve on their own within a few days. Recovery length will vary between patients, but many people return to work or daily activities after about one to two weeks, with final results becoming visible about four to six weeks after surgery.
Decades of experience and an incredible list of educational qualifications make Dr. Sam Sukkar the premier choice for plastic surgeons in Houston. An active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS), as well as a top doctor winner for publications like RealSelf, Vitals, and Castle Connolly, Dr. Sukkar is renowned not only for unmatched results but also for extraordinary patient care.
