Blepharoplasty

A blepharoplasty is a transformative surgical procedure that improves the aesthetics of the eyes by addressing excess skin and fat in the upper and lower eyelids revealing a refreshed and more vibrant look:

• It can reduce eyelid sagging and puffiness

• It can improve the appearance of crows' feet

• It can improve the field of vision

Correction of upper or lower eyelids can be performed using either local or general anaesthesia and involves precisely placed incisions along the natural creases of the eyelids. Fat and tissue are then repositioned or removed to create a rejuvenated appearance.

A blepharoplasty takes around 45 minutes, and you can usually go home the same day. You can expect 2 weeks’ downtime for this procedure, during which the swelling and mild bruising will start settling with appropriate rest (including consideration of the angle of your head when sleeping.) True results can be seen around 6 weeks after your operation. It is important to appreciate that the normal ageing process will continue and therefore further corrections in the future may be required to maintain the results.
