Upper Blepharoplasty
Dr. Robb designs this procedure with minimal recovery in mind.
There are several causes of upper eyelid heaviness or fullness. Dr. Robb carefully and meticulously addresses the tissues that contribute to heaviness while creating natural and youthful eyelids.
In the past, the game was focused on REMOVING as much tissue as possible, today, using the latest techniques, we now keep more tissue to allow lids to look natural and un-operated.
Atlanta and Alpharetta Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Robb Jr. will take a customized and tailored approach to your upper eyes. Every patient’s needs are different, and so no two surgeries are the same.
Dr. Robb uses suture techniques that result in minimal scarring which fades beautifully with time.
This procedure is often performed in conjunction with other procedures in our state-of-the-art private accredited surgery center – North Point Surgery Center. It can occasionally be done on its own on awake patients depending on several factors. Our surgery center uses some form of IV sedation to relax you and induce a sleep during the procedure. There is no pain, and it makes the procedure seem like it took 1.5 seconds!
We’ve had patients go to work as a nurse, Doctor, or Amazon Executive the day after having this procedure done with nobody noticing the recent procedure! Bruising is usually minimal to non-existent. This is a procedure with very little discomfort. Usually, no narcotic pain medications are required but we give our patients a few tablets just in case.
You’re cleared for workouts after 2 weeks.
Sutures are removed at 5 days after surgery typically.
Dr. Robb would love to discuss this more with you and create a personalized and customized surgical plan for you.
