Patient Case #20543

This 67-year-old patient is shown 5 weeks after her upper blepharoplasty, performed by Dr. Nicholas Cormier at Ottawa Plastic Surgery. This eyelid surgery was designed to remove excess upper eyelid skin, reduce heaviness of the upper lids, and create a more open, refreshed appearance.

Upper blepharoplasty surgery can be an excellent option for patients who are bothered by hooded upper eyelids, excess eyelid skin, heaviness around the eyes, or reduced definition of the natural eyelid crease. Dr. Cormier creates a customized surgical plan based on each patient’s eyelid anatomy, skin quality, facial balance, and aesthetic goals, with the goal of achieving a natural-looking result that brightens the eyes without changing their character.

At 5 weeks post-op, this patient is still early in the healing process, and her results will continue to refine as swelling settles. Her early outcome demonstrates improved upper eyelid contour, a more defined eyelid crease, and a brighter, more rested appearance.
