What Upper Blepharoplasty Can Improve
Upper blepharoplasty addresses loose, sagging skin that may gather above the eyes or rest on the lashes, contributing to a fatigued or aged appearance. Some patients also find it difficult to apply eye makeup or feel that their upper lids make them look less alert.
Dr. Lattman customizes each procedure to the individual. Her goal is to create a more lifted, refreshed upper eyelid contour that preserves your natural eye shape and expression. Her patients often describe hearing comments like “You look so rested,” without anyone realizing surgery was involved.

Considering a Brow Lift as Well?
In some cases, upper eyelid heaviness is influenced by brow position. If the brow is low or descending, Dr. Lattman may recommend combining upper blepharoplasty with an endoscopic brow lift to create the most balanced and natural-looking result. She frequently collaborates with Dr. Benjamin Paul, Dr. David Rosenberg, and Dr. Andrew Timberlake, leading facial plastic surgeons in New York City. This collaborative approach allows patients to benefit from the expertise of multiple highly specialized surgeons who work together seamlessly.
