Upper Blepharoplasty in San Diego
Personal Attention & Specialized Care
At Jaibaji Plastic Surgery, we understand that your eyes are not just the window to your soul — they also play a crucial role in your overall facial appearance. Upper blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a transformative procedure designed to rejuvenate your upper eyelids. It’s an excellent option if you have sagging eyelids, excess skin obscuring the natural fold of your upper eyes, or puffiness that makes you look older and tired.
Benefits of Upper Blepharoplasty
- Rejuvenated Appearance: This surgery can make you look more rested and alert by removing the excess skin and fat that contribute to a tired appearance.
- Improved Vision: For some, upper blepharoplasty isn’t just a cosmetic procedure. It can remove the excess skin that impedes vision, enhancing your eyesight by expanding your field of vision.
- Long-Lasting Results: Enjoy a more youthful and refreshed look that lasts for several years, boosting your confidence and quality of life.

Upper Blepharoplasty procedure
The eyes are one of the most mobile and expressive features of the face. But as we get older, wrinkles, bags and other signs of aging can make our eyes appear tired, sad or worn.
Eye bags treatment, also known as lower blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to give you a fresher, well-rested appearance.
Candidates for Upper Blepharoplasty
You may be a good candidate for upper blepharoplasty if you:
- Have droopy or saggy eyelids that affect your vision or aesthetics
- Are in good overall health
- Do not smoke or are willing to quit smoking for the surgery and recovery period
- Have realistic expectations about the results of the surgery
Upper Eyelid Surgery Procedure Details
Dr. Moneer Jaibaji provides patients with local or general anesthesia, often combined with sedation, ensuring that you are comfortable throughout the procedure. The surgery begins with Dr. Jaibaji carefully making precise incisions along the natural crease of the upper eyelids. This placement allows for the scars to be well-concealed once they heal.
After the incisions, Dr. Jaibaji meticulously removes or repositions fat deposits to restore a more youthful contour to the eyelids. Excess skin that contributes to a droopy, tired appearance is then trimmed away, and if necessary, the underlying muscles are tightened to enhance the overall result.
The final step involves Dr. Jaibaji skillfully closing the incisions with fine sutures to minimize any potential scarring. The entire procedure typically lasts one to two hours, depending on the complexity and the specific needs of the patient.
Upper Blepharoplasty Recovery and Results
Post-surgery, you will receive detailed care instructions. Recovery typically involves:
- Some swelling and bruising, which subsides within a week or two.
- Applying cold compresses and keeping your head elevated to reduce swelling.
- Avoiding strenuous activities and following Dr. Jaibaji’s guidance on returning to daily routines.
Most patients return to work and normal activities within 10 to 14 days. The results will gradually improve as the swelling decreases, with the final outcome visible within several weeks.
Upper blepharoplasty results typically last about seven to 10 years before the aging process causes the eyelids to droop again. Surgery may be repeated to rejuvenate your face once again.
