Our Before & After

“The entire experience was seamless

What is Upper Blepharoplasty
Also Called the Ellevate Lift

Upper blepharoplasty, also known as the Ellevate Lid Lift at our practice, is a specialized eyelid surgery designed to rejuvenate the area above your eyes. This surgical technique addresses common concerns like drooping eyelids, excess skin that creates a hooded appearance, or puffiness from fatty deposits that can make you look tired or aged. 

During blepharoplasty surgery, Dr. Jayaram makes precise incisions hidden within your natural eyelid crease, carefully removing or redistributing excess skin, muscle, and fat to create a refreshed, natural-looking result. “The Ellevate Lid Lift” can also improve your vision if drooping eyelids have been affecting your sight, and make daily activities like applying makeup easier.

Dr. Jayaram has developed this advanced technique to be gentler than traditional approaches, resulting in minimal bruising and swelling for our eyelid surgery patients. She uses dissolvable sutures that don’t need to be removed, making your recovery more comfortable. Her specialized background in ophthalmology ensures that your results will look natural while prioritizing the health and function of your eyes.

Recovery is typically quick and comfortable – most blepharoplasty patients return to their normal activities within a week. The incisions heal remarkably well, becoming virtually invisible within the natural contours of your eyelids. Whether you’re seeking to address vision concerns, achieve a more refreshed appearance, or both, the Ellevate Lid Lift offers a safe and effective solution with lasting results.as

Upper Blepharoplasty Procedure:
Step by Step

At ellevateMD, Dr. Jayaram has revolutionized upper eyelid surgery through her signature “Ellevate Lid Lift” technique. This innovative approach to upper blepharoplasty has quickly gained recognition as one of the most sought-after procedures in the Bay Area. The Ellevate Lid Lift is performed under local anesthesia in the comfort of our state-of-the-art office, typically requiring only 30 minutes to complete.
The procedure follows a carefully planned sequence of steps:

Pre-Operative Phase

Dr. Jayaram begins by meticulously marking the natural creases of your upper eyelids while you’re seated upright. This crucial step ensures optimal placement of incisions and precise removal of excess lower eyelid skin. The area is then cleansed, and local anesthesia is administered for your comfort.

Surgical Technique

The Ellevate Lid Lift procedure involves creating precisely placed incisions within the natural upper eyelid crease. Through these incisions, Dr. Jayaram carefully addresses several components:

Recovery after
Upper Eyelid Surgery

The recovery process following the Ellevate Lid Lift and traditional upper eyelid surgery is remarkably straightforward. Unlike more extensive procedures that combine upper and lower eyelids surgery or brow lift surgery, recovery from an isolated upper blepharoplasty is typically quick and comfortable.

Immediate Post-Operative Period
(First 48 Hours)

Immediate Post-Operative Period (First 48 Hours)

Most blepharoplasty patients experience minimal discomfort immediately after surgery. You’ll receive detailed instructions for post-operative care, including the use of cold compresses and keeping your head elevated. While some mild swelling is normal, Dr. Jayaram’s precise surgical technique minimizes post-operative bruising and discomfort.

First Week of Recovery

During this time, any residual swelling around your upper eyelids gradually subsides. The dissolvable sutures used in the upper eyelid lift begin to dissolve naturally, eliminating the need for suture removal. Most patients feel comfortable returning to work and social activities within 7 days, though healing continues progressively.

Long-Term Results

By week two, most signs of surgery have resolved, and patients begin enjoying their refreshed appearance. The carefully placed incisions continue to fade over several months, becoming virtually imperceptible. The results of upper blepharoplasty typically last for many years, though the natural aging process continues.

Ideal Candidate
for Upper Blepharoplasty

The ideal candidates for Ellevate Lid Lift are individuals who experience aesthetic or functional concerns related to their upper eyelids. Through our signature technique, we address common conditions including excess eyelid skin that creates a heavy appearance, difficulty applying makeup due to overhanging skin, or visual field obstruction from drooping upper eyelids. Our patients range from young adults in their 20s seeking upper eyelid surgery for enhanced eye definition or correction of inherited traits, to older adults in their 40s and beyond addressing age-related changes like skin laxity and drooping. During your consultation, Dr. Jayaram carefully evaluates factors such as skin elasticity, underlying muscle tone, and fat distribution to determine the most appropriate Ellevate Lid Lift surgical approach.

This innovative approach to upper blepharoplasty has quickly gained recognition as one of the most sought-after procedures in the Bay Area. The Ellevate Lid Lift is performed under local anesthesia in the comfort of our state-of-the-art office, typically requiring only 30 minutes to complete.
The procedure follows a carefully planned sequence of steps:

Aesthetic Improvements

Modern upper blepharoplasty techniques address multiple aspects of eyelid aging, including excess upper eyelid skin, drooping eyelids, and fatty deposits. The result is a more alert, refreshed appearance that looks completely natural. Unlike more invasive procedures such as a full brow lift, upper eyelid surgery provides targeted rejuvenation with minimal downtime.

Functional Enhancements

Many patients find that removing excess eyelid skin improves their peripheral vision and makes daily activities like applying makeup significantly easier. This functional improvement can be particularly dramatic for those who previously experienced visual field obstruction due to overhanging upper eyelid skin.

Long-Term Value

While lower eyelid surgery might be necessary for some patients to address under-eye concerns or lower eyelid bags, upper blepharoplasty alone often provides dramatic improvement in overall facial appearance. The results typically last for many years, making it a worthwhile investment in both appearance and function.
