Helping to hide the signs of ageing

Eyelid surgery also known as ‘blepharoplasties’ can help hide the signs of ageing and give you a fresher, more youthful appearance. Blepharoplasties are a minimally invasive procedure with major results. This day case procedure leaves you looking fresher and younger just by removing the excessive/hooded skin that naturally occurs through age. Post blepharoplasty patients frequently comment of how their family and friends notice that they look fresh and like they’ve just been on holiday or had a great night’s sleep. 

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty – rejuvenate your eyelids

Eyelid rejuvenation (upper blepharoplasty) is a very popular facial aesthetic technique, mainly due to the excellent results it gives.

Incorporating experience of a wide range of surgical procedures, an in depth knowledge of orbital and eyelid anatomy, and a keen eye for aesthetics, our GMC Specialist Registered Consultant Plastic Surgeons can help you to achieve the younger, natural looking results you want.

Procedure & Recovery Time

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

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty – Removal of unsightly eye bags

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 comprises 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 to your case is used to address your specific aesthetic concern, whilst 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 that suits 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
