Best Upper Eyelid Surgery in Vienna, VA: Can Blepharoplasty Correct Hooded and Drooping Eyelids?

When your eyelid crease starts disappearing beneath a fold of skin, another eye cream has a pretty ambitious assignment. Upper blepharoplasty can remove excess skin contributing to that hooded appearance. But whether it can correct your particular concern depends on what is causing it.

Can Upper Eyelid Surgery in Vienna, VA Help Hooding?

Excess upper eyelid skin can obscure the natural crease and, in some cases, interfere with peripheral vision. Upper blepharoplasty removes carefully selected tissue to reduce that overhang.

YAB Aesthetic Institute offers upper blepharoplasty, with a procedure gallery you can review before your consultation. Look for starting concerns similar to yours, then bring questions about the changes you notice.

Dr. Kim focuses uses an approach that focuses on precision and restraint to create natural-looking rejuvenation while maintaining facial balance and expression.

Drooping Does Not Always Mean Excess Skin

During your YAB Aesthetic Institute consultation, ask which structures are contributing to your concern and what the proposed procedure can realistically improve.
