Introduction to Upper Eyelid Surgery

Restore a More Youthful, Open Look

The eyes are our most expressive feature—the first point of connection when we meet others. They silently reveal our thoughts, emotions, and eventually our age, shaping the harmony and attractiveness of the face. Over time, the upper eyelids can become shrouded by excess or drooping skin, casting a weary, sad, or stern appearance that can diminish confidence and ease in social interactions.

With advanced surgical techniques and a discerning eye for facial artistry, Montreal facial plastic surgeon Dr. Emily Deane performs upper blepharoplasty to restore both the function and aesthetic balance of the upper eyelids.

What Is Upper Eyelid Surgery?

Upper eyelid surgery, or upper blepharoplasty, restores harmony to the upper face, revealing a brighter, more approachable, and more youthful expression. In this precise procedure, Montreal facial plastic surgeon Dr. Emily Deane carefully removes excess, sagging skin, refines the underlying muscle, and smooths away pockets of fat to rejuvenate and refresh your appearance.

For patients with vision obstruction due to drooping lids, upper blepharoplasty can also expand the visual field, significantly improving day-to-day comfort and quality of life. Renowned for her meticulous technique and artistic restraint, Dr. Deane focuses on subtle refinements that maintain natural eyelid contours, reinforce delicate structures, and restore a rested, luminous look.

Who Are the Best Candidates For Upper Eyelid Surgery?

Upper blepharoplasty is well suited to healthy, non-smoking patients who are bothered by age-related changes in the upper eyelids, including skin and muscle laxity, fine lines and creases, and a sense of heaviness or drooping that alters their natural expression. This procedure can revitalize the upper face, restoring a brighter, more energized appearance and the subtle spark associated with a youthful gaze. To ensure the procedure is safe, appropriate, and tailored to your needs, Dr. Deane conducts a comprehensive consultation and medical evaluation at her state-of-the-art Montreal practice.

What’s the First Step?

Your personalized treatment journey begins with an in-depth, one-on-one consultation with Dr. Deane at her Montreal practice. During this initial visit, she will carefully review your goals, answer your questions, and outline the techniques she recommends, ensuring you have a clear understanding of the procedure’s benefits, risks, recovery, and anticipated results. The aim is to equip you with the information you need to move forward with confidence and peace of mind. Once you feel comfortable, your surgery date will be scheduled, and you will receive detailed preoperative instructions to help you prepare. Our team remains committed to supporting and guiding you at every stage of your experience.

What to Expect on the Day of Upper Eyelid Surgery

Upper eyelid surgery is performed in a fully accredited surgical facility, most often under local anesthesia unless combined with more complex procedures. In all scenarios, you will be comfortable while Dr. Deane enhances the contours of your upper eyelids using advanced techniques.

To begin, she creates precise incisions hidden within the natural creases of the upper eyelids, so that any resulting scars are designed to be barely perceptible once healed. Through these incisions, the underlying muscle is refined, excess skin and lax tissue are addressed, and small pockets of fat are removed or repositioned to create a smoother, more lifted, and refreshed expression. The procedure typically takes one hour, after which you will be discharged home the same day to begin your recovery.

Your Guide to Post-Upper Eyelid Surgery Care

After surgery, you can expect to encounter mild swelling, bruising, tightness, and tenderness in the upper eyelids. Dr. Deane will prescribe oral pain medications to help alleviate any soreness or discomfort as you heal. Most patients find they are ready to re-engage socially within 7-10 days. However, it is critical that you continue to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for a minimum of 3 weeks. As the incision lines mature, they become virtually imperceptible, revealing brighter, more refined eyelid contours.

How Much Does Upper Eyelid Surgery Cost in Montreal?

Pricing for upper eyelid surgery varies according to the complexity of your treatment plan, your aesthetic goals, anesthesia, and facility-related fees. Costs also reflect the high level of precision and expertise required for this delicate procedure. After your consultation, our team will provide a clear, personalized fee proposal tailored to your needs.
