When is the right time to consider upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)? In this video, Dr. David Rapaport, board-certified plastic surgeon and founder of Aethos New York, explains how to recognize the signs of eyelid aging and decide when surgery may help.
Dr. Rapaport discusses:
What causes upper-eyelid hooding and why it makes eyes look tired or older
The difference between excess skin and fat bulges in the upper lid
Why age isn’t the main factor—some patients are great candidates in their 20s or 30s, while others wait until their 50s or 60s
What to expect from an upper-eyelid blepharoplasty performed under local anesthesia
Typical downtime: about a week without makeup and minor bruising before returning to normal activity
Whether you’re noticing makeup application getting harder or feeling like your eyes appear heavier, this short video explains when upper-eyelid surgery might be right for you.
