Upper Blepharoplasty in Jeddah


Upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure considered individually for excess upper-eyelid skin or heaviness when treatment is medically suitable. Care begins with a considered consultation to understand the patient’s goals, examine the eyelids and eyes, and review relevant health history.


What does assessment consider?


Assessment considers brow position, upper-eyelid skin and tissues, symmetry, and any functional or eye-related symptoms. Not every concern requires surgery; another cause or a different approach may need consideration.


Individual suitability


Suitability is determined after examination and review of eye health, dryness or irritation, previous procedures, medicines, smoking, and health conditions that may affect healing or bleeding. Postponing treatment or advising against intervention may sometimes be appropriate.


Local anaesthesia


Upper blepharoplasty may be performed under local anaesthesia for selected patients, but this is not suitable for everyone or every plan. Anaesthesia is determined after medical assessment according to treatment extent, comfort, safety, and facility requirements.


General approach and recovery


Planning reflects eyelid anatomy, brow position, and realistic goals. Swelling, bruising, discomfort, and recovery vary between patients. Individual discharge instructions are provided and take priority over general information.


Limitations and risks


Perfect symmetry or a particular outcome cannot be guaranteed. Discussion may include scarring, asymmetry, dryness or irritation, difficulty closing the eye, bleeding, infection, altered sensation, and the possible need for further treatment. Relevant individual risks are explained during consultation.


Indicative fee


Upper blepharoplasty under local anaesthesia: From SAR 14,000.


Indicative fees vary according to the procedure, treatment extent, anaesthesia, facility requirements, and the individual medical plan. Suitability for local or general anaesthesia is determined following medical assessment. A final quotation, including the applicable components of care, is provided after consultation.


Common questions


Is the procedure suitable for everyone with upper-eyelid heaviness?


No. Brow position, the eye surface, and other factors may contribute, so an individual assessment is required before a recommendation.


Is local anaesthesia always suitable?


No. Suitability depends on examination, treatment extent, health, comfort, safety, and facility requirements.


How is recovery estimated?


Recovery varies with treatment extent and individual response. General expectations are discussed during consultation, and specific postoperative instructions are provided.


How is final cost determined?


It depends on the plan, treatment extent, anaesthesia, facility requirements, and medical assessment. A starting fee is not a guaranteed final quotation.
