Restore a brighter, more youthful appearance with upper blepharoplasty in Beverly Hills by David Isaacs, MD, an expert dual-fellowship trained oculofacial plastic surgeon. This advanced eyelid lift addresses sagging skin, puffiness, visual obstruction, eyelid heaviness, and interference with makeup application. Dr. Isaacs combines surgical precision with an artistic eye to deliver results that appear natural, refined, and harmoniously integrated with your face.
Rejuvenate Tired Eyes and
Restore Facial Energy
Excess skin and fat in the upper eyelids can be an issue for several reasons. It can send messages of aging, tiredness, a lowered mood, and/or energy level, or even not being able to place eye shadow where it’s supposed to go. The aging face is characterized by changes in the skin and deeper fat compartments, resulting in noticeable volume loss over time. These can cause the eyelids to feel heavy, obscure the natural crease, or reduce your field of vision.
Upper blepharoplasty Beverly Hills patients choose is a surgical eyelid lift that aims to restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance to your eyes. Blepharoplasty has traditionally been a reductive procedure, where large amounts of skin, fat, and muscle were removed. Modern patients seek refined results that prioritize subtle enhancements and natural beauty. As such, Dr. Isaacs performs upper eyelid surgeries for preservation rather than reduction. He performs this procedure using meticulous, minimally invasive techniques, often without a scalpel, removing or repositioning only select amounts of tissue to achieve harmonious, natural-looking results.
Upper Blepharoplasty Treats:
- Sagging or drooping upper eyelid skin
- Puffiness caused by excess upper eyelid fat
- Obstruction of the upper visual field
- Difficulty applying eye makeup evenly
- Tired, aged, or heavy-looking eyes
- Loss of natural upper eyelid crease or definition
Your Upper Blepharoplasty Surgery
Your procedure begins with Dr. Isaacs carefully measuring and marking the natural fold of your upper eyelid to plan the incision within a crease that will remain nearly invisible once healed.
Dr. Isaacs typically uses local anesthesia with light sedation to keep you relaxed while avoiding the risks of general anesthesia. Instead of a scalpel, Dr. Isaacs often uses precision instruments such as radiofrequency or microcautery tools to make extremely fine incisions and reduce bleeding.
A precise amount of skin is excised, and any excess fat is either conservatively removed or artistically repositioned to smooth puffiness and restore contour.
Dr. Isaacs avoids removing muscle unless necessary, helping to preserve natural eyelid function. Once the tissues are adjusted, he meticulously closes the incision with fine sutures. The entire upper blepharoplasty procedure in Beverly Hills typically takes 60 to 90 minutes, with minimal trauma to the surrounding tissues. His technique promotes faster healing, less bruising, and more natural results that brighten your expression without changing the fundamental shape of your eyes.

Upper Blepharoplasty FAQs
Will People Be Able to Tell I Had Surgery?
Not unless you tell them. Dr. Isaacs uses highly refined techniques that focus on subtle enhancement, not drastic alteration. The incisions are placed within your natural eyelid crease and become nearly invisible over time. Most people will simply notice that you look more rested, refreshed, and youthful, not “operated on.”
Can I Combine Upper Blepharoplasty With Other Treatments?
Yes. Many patients choose to combine it with lower blepharoplasty, brow lift, rhinoplasty, or facial contouring procedures. During your consultation, Dr. Isaacs will advise you on safe, effective combinations to achieve the most harmonious facial rejuvenation.
How Long Is the Recovery Period?
Most patients can return to non-strenuous work within 5 to 7 days. You may experience some swelling or bruising for about 1 to 2 weeks, but it can often be concealed with sunglasses or light makeup. Dr. Isaacs will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to help minimize downtime and promote optimal healing.
How Long Do the Results Last?
The results of upper blepharoplasty can last 10 years or more, depending on your genetics, skin quality, and lifestyle. While the aging process continues, the improvements made will keep you looking more youthful than if you had not undergone the procedure.
