Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids. This procedure can help to rejuvenate the area around your eyes, making you look more rested and alert.

Upper eyelid rejuvenation, also known as upper blepharoplasty, is a very popular facial aesthetic technique due to the excellent results it provides. Incorporating extensive experience in a wide range of surgical procedures, in-depth knowledge of orbital and eyelid anatomy, and a keen eye for aesthetics, our GMC Specialist Registered Consultant Plastic Surgeons can help you achieve the younger, natural-looking results you desire.

Procedure & Recovery Time

This procedure can be performed alone or combined with a variety of non-surgical strategies to rejuvenate the entire mid-face in a ‘synergistic surgery’ approach. It is often undertaken under conscious anesthesia as an outpatient and has a quick recovery time. The scar can be beautifully hidden, allowing a rapid return to client-facing work and a natural-looking result.

Eye bags or sunken eyelids can add years to your appearance, but you don’t have to put up with it. Lower blepharoplasty is a family of techniques that treat the lower lid to balance the natural aesthetics of the eyelid and cheek.

Lower blepharoplasty involves a ‘layer by layer’ assessment of your skin, muscle, fat, and the specialised components of your eyelid and skeletal base. The best surgical technique appropriate for your case is used to address your specific aesthetic concerns, maximising your safety and promoting a rapid recovery time.

Canthopexy (lower lid tightening) can be incorporated with blepharoplasty to help improve your eyelid shape, tone, and functional outcomes. Using extended lower blepharoplasty techniques, we can incorporate the upper cheek (malar area) to provide you with an aesthetic lid/cheek balance and lower eyelid support.

All these options will be discussed with you at your one-to-one consultation, and a bespoke surgical plan will be created to suit your personal needs.

Procedure & Recovery Time

You’ll need to plan for a day case or one-night stay in hospital following a one to two-hour procedure. You should expect to resume life as normal within two to four weeks.
