Lift Tired Eyes and Reveal a More Vibrant You

Sagging or heavy upper eyelids can make you look older, tired, or less alert—even when you feel your best. For some, the drooping may also begin to interfere with vision. An upper eyelid lift, or upper blepharoplasty, restores a more open, alert appearance by removing excess skin and repositioning fat. Performed by facial plastic surgeon and trained sculptor Dr. Kevin Sadati, your procedure is designed to create a refreshed look that feels natural, elegant, and entirely you.

What Is an Upper Eyelid Lift?

An upper eyelid lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and lax muscle from the upper eyelids to reduce hooding and heaviness. While the surgery is subtle in scope, the result can be transformative, making the eyes appear more youthful, expressive, and rested.

Dr. Sadati performs upper eyelid lifts using local anesthesia and twilight sedation, avoiding the need for general anesthesia. His fine, hidden incision technique ensures discreet results with little visible scarring. Every upper eyelid lift at our Newport Beach practice is tailored to your anatomy, lifestyle, and desired outcome.

The Benefits of an Upper Eyelid Lift

More open, youthful eyes: Restore a lifted, well-rested appearance without changing your natural eye shape.
Improved eyelid contour: Smooth folds and remove droopy skin that can weigh down your expression or vision.
Subtle, scarless technique: Dr. Sadati’s refined surgical approach leaves virtually no visible scarring once healed.
Twilight sedation, not general anesthesia: Enhance comfort and safety while reducing downtime.
Long-lasting results: Most patients enjoy a refreshed look for many years after surgery.

Is an Upper Eyelid Lift Right for Me?

If you’ve noticed sagging skin, heaviness, or loss of definition in the upper eyelids, you may be a candidate for an upper eyelid lift. Many patients also experience difficulty applying makeup or feel their eyes no longer reflect their energy.

Ideal candidates are in good general health and want a natural, long-lasting improvement in how their eyes look and feel. During your consultation, Dr. Sadati will assess your eyelid anatomy, rule out any medical conditions, and recommend a personalized plan based on your goals.

What to Expect The Upper Eyelid Lift Process

Consultation: You’ll meet one-on-one with Dr. Sadati to review your concerns, evaluate your facial anatomy, and design your surgical plan.
Anesthesia and Preparation: Local anesthesia with twilight sedation ensures comfort during surgery.
Precise Incision: A small incision is made in the natural eyelid crease for optimal concealment.
Tissue Refinement: Excess skin is removed, muscles are gently tightened, and fat may be repositioned for smoother contours.
Suturing: Ultra-fine sutures are used, leaving no visible marks once healed. The entire procedure typically takes about one hour.

Upper Eyelid Lift Recovery & Results

After surgery, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, or irritation, which usually resolves within a week. Typically, old compresses and over-the-counter medications are all you need to stay comfortable. Most patients return to work or social activities in 7–10 days, and makeup can usually be worn after suture removal.

Your results will gradually reveal themselves over the first few weeks—eyes that look naturally lifted, less heavy, and beautifully refreshed.
