Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Look alive and vibrant. Eye lid surgery, known as blepharoplasty, can help restore a more energetic and youthful appearance.

As you age, folds of excess skin can form under and around your eyes making you appear older than you are. This is caused by the natural weakening of skin over time, causing a loss of elasticity and support with upper eyelids beginning to sag, sometimes badly enough that your vision can be affected. Eye bags and sagging skin usually get larger with age causing you to look tired and can lower your self-confidence and self-esteem.

How can Eye Lid Surgery help?

Eye lid surgery (blepharoplasty) caters for your needs to correct sagging and drooping eyelids. It removes the bags beneath your eyes and reduces the excess folds of skin around your eyes.

Treatment can be carried out on your upper and lower eyelids, separately or at the same time to help give you a more rested and youthful appearance. Your eyes and your whole face will look more alert, awake and alive following eye lid surgery.

Is Blepharoplasty Right for You?

Suitability for a blepharoplasty procedure can be discussed with your Surgeon at your consultation but experience has taught us that the best outcome from a blepharoplasty procedure is in our patients who:

  • have a family history of droopy, baggy eyelids
  • appear older than they naturally are because of drooping eyes
  • have developed loose skin around the eye area
  • look like their eyes are 'hooded'

Your Blepharoplasty Consultation

Your free consultation concerning eye lid surgery will be with one of our experienced patient coordinators and cosmetic nurses. They will arrange an appointment for you to meet with your Surgeon before your blepharoplasty procedure who will explain what option is best for your requirements and how you can expect to look afterwards.

The Procedure for Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty may be performed as a day case, but an overnight stay in hospital is sometimes required. The blepharoplasty procedure can be done under general anaesthetic, which means you will be asleep during the procedure and will feel no pain. Alternatively, it can be performed under local anaesthetic, in which case the area around your eyes will be numb but you will be awake. Your Surgeon will advise which type of anaesthetic is most suitable for you.

Recovery from Blepharoplasty

You will need to rest after your blepharoplasty procedure until the effects of the anaesthetic have passed and general painkillers can be used if needed. You will need to make arrangements to be driven home. Before you leave, your cosmetic nurse will advise you about your healing time and will arrange a follow-up appointment for you. This is usually about 1 week after your blepharoplasty procedure.
