What Is Upper Blepharoplasty?
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty, commonly known as an eyelid lift, addresses sagging or drooping upper eyelids that can make you look tired or older. This procedure involves the careful removal of excess skin and fat to create a more youthful and defined eye contour. Dr. Chang’s personalized approach ensures natural-looking results that harmonize with your facial features.
Understanding Ptosis and Its Correction
Ptosis refers to the drooping of the upper eyelid, which can affect vision and facial aesthetics. Ptosis repair surgery tightens the muscles responsible for lifting the eyelid, restoring a more alert and youthful appearance. Dr. Chang’s expertise in ptosis repair ensures precise correction tailored to each patient’s needs.

FAQ
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty—often called an eyelid lift—is a short outpatient procedure in which excess skin and fat are removed to create a smoother, more rested upper-lid contour. At Modern Aesthetic Institute in Bakersfield, CA, Dr. Joseph H. Chang applies more than 25 years of oculoplastic expertise to produce natural-looking results that brighten the eyes.
Ptosis repair focuses on tightening or re-anchoring the eyelid-lifting muscle when a droopy lid (ptosis) obstructs vision, while blepharoplasty removes redundant skin and fat for cosmetic or functional reasons. Many Bakersfield patients combine both procedures in one surgery for optimal vision and aesthetics.
You’re likely a candidate if sagging upper lids make you look tired, feel heavy, or limit peripheral vision, you are in good overall health, and you do not smoke. A personal consultation with Dr. Chang will confirm eligibility and discuss medical history.
Most Bakersfield patients resume desk work and light activity in 7–10 days, with swelling and bruising largely resolved by two weeks. Subtle refinements continue for several months until final results settle.
If ptosis significantly blocks your field of vision, repair may be deemed functional and qualify for insurance coverage; purely cosmetic blepharoplasty is typically self-pay. We’ll provide the documentation your carrier requires during the consultation.
Fees at Modern Aesthetic Institute are personalized, but statewide averages for upper blepharoplasty range $3,000 – $6,000, including surgeon, facility, and anesthesia costs. A precise quote follows your in-person evaluation.
Dr. Chang is a board-certified ophthalmologist with fellowship training in oculoplastic surgery, more than two decades in private practice, and an artistic background that guides his surgical planning—credentials that have earned the trust of Bakersfield and Kern County residents.
Upper eyelid surgery removes skin and fat that will not return, so results typically last 10–15 years. Natural aging continues, but most patients enjoy a long-term improvement without repeat surgery.
