What Is Upper Blepharoplasty?

Upper eyelid surgery is a gold-standard cosmetic technique that restores an alert, energized facial expression and a youthful, attractive appearance. During the procedure, excess skin, tissue, and fat are removed while the underlying muscles are firmed and lines and creases are smoothed. This can reverse the aging process, boosting your confidence and self-esteem. Additionally, the surgery can correct drooping eyelid skin that interferes with your field of vision. This allows you to resume everyday activities like reading and driving with ease.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Upper Blepharoplasty?

What to Expect on the Day of Upper Blepharoplasty Surgery

Upper eyelid surgery is performed in-office at Align Aesthetic Center under local anesthesia. The surgery usually takes about one hour.

To begin, Dr. Cook will make small incisions within the natural folds of the upper lids, ensuring the scars are later unnoticeable. Through your incisions, the doctor will remove excess tissue, skin, and fat while firming the underlying muscles. The goal is to create a more alert, inviting facial expression while maintaining your natural, timeless beauty. Once all changes have been completed, your incisions will be closed, and you will be placed in our relaxing recovery area until you are cleared to go home. Sutures are typically removed within 5-7 days.

  • Can I give more stars than 5? This doctor certainly deserves it! I had an injury which led me to the ER. Immediately it was obvious that a plastic surgeon would need to be called in. A good friend recommended Dr. Cook and I couldn’t be happier with her suggestion. Not only is he a FANTASTIC doctor but he’s a pretty amazing person as well. His demeanor alleviated all of my stress from the traumatic event. He brought levity to the ER and immediately made me feel at ease. Months later, he is still checking in, tweaking the scar with lasers and still his kind, impressive self.

  • I couldn’t be more pleased than I am with Dr. Cook and his staff. He does amazing work! I’ve had my eyelid done by him and he’s a perfectionist. He’s incredibly thorough, asks a lot of questions and actually listens to what you’re saying. He’s honest and will tell you if you’re not a good candidate for something, which I feel is a trait missing with most Plastic Surgeons. He’s a true professional and a really nice guy. Has a good sense of humor too. I would recommend Dr. Cook above all other Plastic Surgeons. There is a lot to choose from, but I feel he’s the best. You won’t be disappointed!

  • Dr. Jonathan Cook is the best plastic surgeon and I would refer him to everyone! His exceptional surgery skills and his attentive and professional service are 5 star! I had skin cancer on my neck and chest and I am very relieved and happy with the outcome.

  • I came to Dr. Cook when the mohs surgeon who was going to remove basal cell on my nostril said a plastic surgeon would have to close the area. After having a consult with him, the surgery was set up by his assistant, Lauren. After the mohs surgery, I went directly to Dr. Cook who had to do a skin graft to close up the whole that was left. The area where the graft was taken has no scarring, and the graft took completely. He is doing laser to eliminate scarring on the nose area. I cannot speak highly enough about this team. The caring, consideration and most of all expertise and preciseness was superb, and I am so grateful to Dr. Cook for all of it.
