Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty
in Prescott, AZ

Brighten your eyes. Restore your vision. Rejuvenate your look.

At 1st Choice Wellness Center excited to introduce Upper eyelid blepharoplasty, also known as an eyelid lift, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat from the upper eyelids. This delicate surgery can dramatically improve both appearance and, in some cases, vision when sagging skin begins to interfere with daily life.

Why Consider Upper Eyelid Surgery?

With time, the skin around the eyes naturally loses elasticity. This can lead to:

Hooded or drooping eyelids
A tired, sad, or aged appearance
Makeup smudging or difficulty applying eye cosmetics
Obstructed peripheral vision caused by heavy eyelid skin

Blepharoplasty restores a refreshed, youthful, and natural look while also providing functional improvement when vision is compromised.

Upper Eyelid Surgery
Procedure

Anesthesia: Typically performed with local anesthesia and light sedation for comfort.
Incision Placement: A fine incision is made in the natural eyelid crease, ensuring that scars are hidden within your natural fold.
Excess Removal: Carefully removes redundant skin, muscle, and in some cases, fat that contributes to puffiness or heaviness.
Refinement: The eyelid is reshaped to restore a natural contour without over-correcting.

Most procedures take about 45–90 minutes and are performed on an outpatient basis.

Downtime: Swelling and bruising are common for the first 7–10 days.
Healing: Stitches are typically removed within one week.
Return to Work: Most patients feel comfortable returning to normal activities within 1–2 weeks.
Final Results: A smoother, more open eyelid appearance continues to refine over several months.

Results are long-lasting, with many patients enjoying their refreshed look for 10 years or more, depending on individual aging and lifestyle factors.
