Spring Break is just around the corner, and whether you’re planning a relaxing vacation or a vibrant getaway, you want to look and feel your best. If drooping, sagging upper eyelids make you appear tired, aged, or even obstruct your vision, Upper Blepharoplasty at Greenwich Medical Spa offers a long-lasting solution to restore a refreshed, youthful look.
Unlike Botox or fillers, blepharoplasty provides permanent results by removing excess skin and fat, lifting and contouring the upper eyelid area for brighter, more awake eyes. We answer the most common questions about the procedure, including recovery time and long-term benefits, so you can make an informed decision before booking your consultation.
What is Upper Blepharoplasty?
Upper blepharoplasty, also known as an eyelid lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper eyelids. It is designed to:
- Eliminate sagging or hooded eyelids that create a tired or aged appearance
- Enhance the natural eye contour for a more youthful look
- Improve peripheral vision in cases where excess skin obstructs eyesight
- Deliver long-lasting results, making it a superior alternative to temporary injectables
At Greenwich Medical Spa, our board-certified surgeon, Dr. Landman, specializes in facial rejuvenation procedures, ensuring natural-looking, well-balanced results tailored to your unique features.
How Long Does Blepharoplasty Last?
Unlike non-surgical options, the results of upper blepharoplasty are permanent. Since the procedure removes excess skin and fat, the rejuvenation is permanent and does not require ongoing maintenance. Natural aging will continue, but your eyes will always look younger and more refreshed than if you hadn’t had the procedure.
What to Expect: The Blepharoplasty Procedure at Greenwich Medical Spa
Step 1: Consultation & Personalized Treatment Plan
During your consultation, our expert team will:
- Evaluate your skin elasticity, eye structure, and aging concerns

Step 2: The Procedure
- The surgery is performed under local anesthesia with optional sedation.
- A small incision is made along the natural eyelid crease to ensure minimal scarring.
- Excess skin, fat, and muscle are removed or repositioned to achieve a natural, lifted look.
- The procedure typically takes about 45-60 minutes and is outpatient, meaning you go home the same day.
Step 3: Recovery Timeline
- Days 1-3: Some mild swelling and bruising. Cold compresses help reduce discomfort.
- Days 4-7: Stitches are removed; most patients are comfortable going out in public.
