Remove hooding and heaviness from the upper lids to open and refresh the eyes.


Upper eyelid surgery, or upper blepharoplasty, removes excess skin and, where needed, a small amount of fat from the upper eyelids. With age the upper lid skin stretches and can hood over the lashes, making the eyes look heavy or tired and sometimes affecting the field of vision.
A fine incision is hidden in the natural crease of the eyelid, so the scar is well concealed once healed. The result opens the eye and refreshes the upper face without changing its character.
It is one of the most rewarding facial procedures, with a relatively quick recovery. It does not lift the brow or treat the lower lids, which are separate procedures. All surgery carries risks, and results vary.
It does not lift a low brow, which can mimic eyelid hooding and may need a brow lift, and it does not treat lower-lid bags, dark circles, or fine lines.
You will receive instructions on medication, supplements, smoking, and fasting. The brow position is assessed as well as the lids, since a low brow can mimic eyelid hooding and change the plan.
Excess upper-lid skin, and a small amount of fat if needed, is removed through an incision hidden in the natural eyelid crease, then closed with fine sutures.
Swelling and bruising around the eyes settle over one to two weeks, helped by cool compresses and keeping the head elevated. Sutures are removed within about a week, and most patients return to social activity soon after.
More open, refreshed, less tired-looking eyes are achievable, with a well-hidden scar. It cannot raise the brow or treat the lower lids, and it does not stop further aging.
Upper eyelid surgery is generally safe, but all surgery carries risks. Possible risks include:
Existing dry eye or eye conditions should be discussed, since surgery can affect them. Smoking impairs healing.
Eyelid surgery at Skulpturkliniken is performed by Dr. Matteo Amoroso, a specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeon whose precise, conservative technique opens the eye while keeping its natural character.
Dr. Amoroso plans facial surgery around harmony and proportion, not a pulled or operated look. The aim is a refreshed version of your own face, where the change reads as good health rather than surgery.
His background in reconstructive microsurgery brings a detailed command of facial anatomy, the nerves, the deeper support layers, and the way tissues age. That precision underpins both safety and natural, lasting results.
