An Upper Blepharoplasty is just a medical term for upper eyelid surgery. 50% of the Asian populations do not possess a double eyelid; Double eyelid surgery can create a natural looking set of upper eyelid creases. Another purpose for an double eyelid surgery is to reverse signs of aging in the upper eyelids. With age, upper eyelids tend to become droopy and thus giving a person a permanently tired look, this procedure can help to rejuvenate the eyes.

Double Eyelid Surgery 

There are two types of double eyelid surgery :

1. A simple suturing method which will leave minimal scars, however, results may not be very long lasting.
2. An incision can be made through the natural crease of the upper eyelids in order to create a more permanent upper eyelid crease. This method will leave more scarring but the results will be much longer lasting.

Swelling lasts 5-10 days. Bruising and swelling are minimal with the suturing method but in the case of the incision method, bruising and swelling lasts for 5-10 days. Final results will immerge within 1-2 months of the operation and the scars, if any, will carry on to improve over 2 years.
