The Upper Blepharoplasty Procedure
Upper eyelid surgery is typically performed in our office under local anesthesia. Dr. Maffi makes an incision within the natural crease of the upper eyelid to remove excess skin and, if needed, adjust underlying fat pads. This approach allows for discreet scar placement and precise reshaping. The outpatient procedure generally takes about one hour to complete.
Recovery & Results for Upper Blepharoplasty
After surgery, patients can expect mild swelling, bruising, and tightness in the upper eyelids. Most individuals return to normal activities within one week, with bruising fading over 10 to 14 days. Following post-operative instructions, including the use of cold compresses and keeping your head elevated, will help optimize healing. Dr. Maffi and our surgical team will guide you through your recovery and ensure all your questions are answered.
Upper blepharoplasty offers a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance to the eyes by reducing heaviness and smoothing skin folds. Many patients notice that they look more rested and feel more confident following surgery. Results are long-lasting and can be prolonged by following a consistent skincare routine and by using sun protection.
“The facility is beautiful, and the staff are professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. I would confidently recommend Dr. Maffi’s practice to anyone.”

Contact UsWhat is Upper Blepharoplasty?
Upper blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids. As skin loses elasticity with age, the upper lids may begin to droop or develop folds that contribute to a tired appearance. At Maffi Plastic Surgery, Dr. Maffi utilizes refined techniques to create a more youthful eye contour, preserving your natural eyelid shape while avoiding overcorrection.
Candidates for Upper Blepharoplasty
Ideal candidates for upper blepharoplasty include individuals who experience drooping upper eyelids, excess skin, or difficulty applying eye makeup due to hooded eyelids. During your consultation in our Scottsdale practice, Dr. Maffi will assess your eyelid structure and goals to determine if upper eyelid surgery is right for you.
