Upper Eyelid Lift

Rejuvenate your look with an upper eyelid lift by Dr. Ward, a renowned board-certified facial plastic surgeon in Utah. This procedure restores a youthful, refreshed appearance.

Lift Years Off Your Appearance

What Is An Upper Eyelid Lift?

An upper eyelid lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids, helping to create a more youthful, rested appearance.

Over time, the delicate skin around the eyes can begin to droop or sag, which not only affects how we look but can sometimes interfere with vision. By gently lifting and tightening the upper eyelids, this procedure can dramatically improve facial balance and expression. It’s a popular choice for those looking to restore their natural eye shape and feel more refreshed.

An upper eyelid lift can also help to address common concerns such as puffiness or a tired appearance caused by the accumulation of fat deposits. The procedure is typically performed with a small, discreet incision along the natural crease of the eyelid, ensuring minimal scarring.

Precision. Artistry. Confidence.

How An Upper Eyelid Lift Works

During the procedure, Dr. Ward makes precise, discreet incisions along the natural creases of the eyelid to minimize visible scarring.

Through these incisions, he removes or repositions fat and trims away excess skin, all with a focus on preserving your natural eyelid contour. The entire process is typically done under local anesthesia with minimal downtime. Dr. Ward’s meticulous approach ensures the results look natural and harmonious with your unique features. The procedure generally takes about 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity and the amount of tissue being addressed.

Afterward, patients may experience some mild swelling and bruising, but these side effects usually subside within a few days to a week. The incisions are carefully closed with fine sutures, and the results are visible within a few weeks as swelling decreases, leaving behind a rejuvenated and more youthful eye area. This minimally invasive approach helps enhance both the look and function of the eyelids.

Awaken Your Natural Beauty

Am I a Good Candidate?

You may be a great candidate for an upper eyelid lift if you’ve noticed sagging skin, puffiness, or a “heavy” feeling in your upper eyelids.

Many patients seek this procedure to look more alert and youthful, especially if friends or family often say they look tired—even when they’re not. Ideal candidates are healthy non-smokers with realistic expectations about the outcome. During your consultation, Dr. Ward will evaluate your needs and goals to determine if this procedure is the right fit for you.

In addition to cosmetic concerns, an upper eyelid lift can also be beneficial for individuals who experience functional issues, such as restricted vision due to excessive eyelid skin. If your eyelids are interfering with your daily activities or causing discomfort, an upper eyelid lift can help restore both your appearance and visual field. Having a thorough discussion with your surgeon about your expectations, health history, and potential risks is essential.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. P. Daniel Ward did an amazing job on my lower bleph and overall face rejuvenation. I am beyond impressed with his professionalism, skill, and attention to detail. He is genuinely caring and patient, which made the entire experience so comfortable and reassuring. His work is absolute perfection—natural, refreshed, and beautifully done. My husband even joked that I probably won’t need makeup again! I couldn’t be happier with my results and highly recommend Dr. Ward.
