How to Begin Your Upper Eyelid Lift Journey

As a first step along your unique cosmetic journey, you will meet with Dr. Ching for an informative and empowering initial consultation. This first visit will entail:

  • A thorough medical and physical assessment 
  • An exploration of your goals and objectives 
  • Clear, accurate answers to all your questions 
  • An overview of the risks, downtime, costs, and potential results associated with upper eyelid lift

Once you are ready to move forward, we can schedule your surgery at a convenient time and provide a pre-treatment checklist to help streamline your visit.

What to Expect on the Day of Upper Eyelid Lift

On the day of your upper blepharoplasty in Las Vegas, you will be greeted by our friendly team and placed in our comfortable surgical suite. The procedure is performed using local anesthesia with sedation, but general anesthesia is also an option, especially if you are undergoing several treatments at the same time. Either way, you will rest deeply while Dr. Ching revitalizes your facial appearance.

Incisions with upper eyelid lift are made within the fine creases of the upper lids, ensuring well-concealed scarring. Through your incisions, Dr. Ching will remove excess skin, tissue, and fat if needed and firm the underlying muscles. Great care is taken to preserve the natural spontaneity of your facial expressions and your individuality.

Once all the desired changes have been made, Dr. Ching will close your incisions and you will recover in our center for careful monitoring until deemed safe to return home.

Combining Upper Eyelid Lift with Other Procedures

To maximize your results and ensure a comprehensive anti-aging makeover, Dr. Ching may suggest pairing your upper eyelid lift with other procedures, such as:

Lower eyelid lift addresses under-eye bags, puffiness, and discoloration, dramatically improving facial expression. Incisions are placed within the lower lash line or on the inside of the lower lids, making lower blepharoplasty essentially “scarless.”

Your Guide to Post-Upper Eyelid Lift Care

After your upper eyelid lift, you may experience minor swelling, tenderness, and redness in the treated regions. You can apply a cold compress every 30 minutes for the first 24 hours. Prescription and over-the-counter painkillers will also be available to you. Symptoms will resolve within a week or two, and your sutures will be removed within 5 to 7 days.

Please abstain from wearing contact lenses for at least two weeks after your procedure. Non-strenuous activity can typically be resumed within one week. However, heavy lifting and gym workouts should be postponed for a month or two.
