What is an upper eyelid fat removal?

Rejuvenate your eyes, refresh your look. Are you experiencing heavy, drooping eyelids that make you look tired or older than you feel?

By removing excess fat from the upper eyelids, this procedure reduces puffiness and enhances the definition of the double eyelid crease. Because it involves only a small incision, scarring is minimal and hardly noticeable.

This treatment is ideal for those who struggle to form a stable crease with eyelid glue or have had unsatisfactory results with non-incisional methods such as thread-based double eyelid procedures.

The procedure involves making a small incision along the natural double eyelid line to remove the fat responsible for puffiness. This helps achieve a more defined and refreshed eyelid appearance.


What causes upper eyelid sagging?

As we age, the skin loses its elasticity, and the muscles supporting the eyelids may weaken. This natural aging process can lead to:

  • Excess skin folding over the natural eyelid crease
  • Visual field obstruction
  • A tired, aged, or angry expression

In some cases, genetic factors or lifestyle habits can accelerate these changes, even in younger individuals.


Benefits of an upper eyelid fat removal

An upper eyelid lift is more than a cosmetic procedure, it can offer both aesthetic and functional improvements:

Aesthetic Benefits:

  • A brighter, more youthful appearance
  • Sharper definition of the upper eyelid crease
  • Balanced, symmetrical eye contours

Functional Benefits:

  • Improved peripheral vision
  • Relief from heavy eyelid sensation
  • Easier makeup application

Who is this for?

You may be a good candidate for an upper eyelid lift if you:

  • Have sagging or loose skin on the upper eyelids
  • Experience difficulty seeing due to drooping eyelids
  • Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations

A consultation with a qualified surgeon will help determine if this procedure is right for you.


Procedure overview

Upper blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia, with or without sedation. The procedure includes:

  1. Consultation and careful marking of the natural eyelid crease
  2. Removal of excess fat
  3. Follow up

Surgery usually takes 30 to 60 minutes and is done as a day procedure.


Recovery and Downtime

  • Swelling and bruising: Common for 5–10 days
