What is Eyelid Surgery?
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper or lower eyelids. It’s ideal for those looking to reduce sagging, puffiness, or drooping that can make them look tired or older than they feel.
This procedure can help create a brighter, more youthful appearance, giving your eyes a refreshed and well-rested look. It may also improve vision if excess skin is obstructing your sight.
Your journey starts with a free consultation, where our expert surgeons will assess your concerns and recommend the best approach for you.
What Happens During Surgery?
Eyelid surgery is usually done under local anaesthetic with sedation or general anaesthetic and involves:
- Making small, discreet incisions along the natural creases of the eyelids.
- Removing or repositioning excess skin, fat, and muscle for a smoother look.
- Tightening the remaining skin to reduce sagging and puffiness.
- Closing the incisions with fine stitches to minimise scarring.
The procedure can focus on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on your needs.
