Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty: Eyelid Surgery for a Refreshed, Natural Look

Achieve a brighter, more alert appearance with blepharoplasty – a medically led eyelid surgery that helps reduce puffiness, sagging, and heaviness around the eyes.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

We want you to feel confident at every stage of your journey, so here are answers to the questions patients ask most often.
What is blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes or repositions excess skin, fat, or muscle from the upper or lower eyelids. It helps reduce drooping eyelids, puffiness, and under-eye bags, and may be performed for cosmetic or functional reasons.

Am I suitable for eyelid surgery?

Suitability depends on factors such as eye structure, skin elasticity, and overall health. During your consultation, a qualified surgeon will assess your goals and medical history to determine if blepharoplasty is right for you.

What’s the difference between upper and lower blepharoplasty?

Upper blepharoplasty addresses loose or heavy skin on the upper eyelids. Lower blepharoplasty targets puffiness, under-eye bags, or hollowness beneath the eyes. These procedures can be done individually or combined, depending on your needs.

What is the recovery time after eyelid surgery?

Most people return to light activities within 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising typically subside within two weeks, with full healing continuing over several months. Your surgeon will provide personalised aftercare advice.

How much does blepharoplasty cost?

The cost of blepharoplasty varies depending on whether the upper, lower, or both eyelids are treated, as well as the complexity of the surgery and clinic location. A detailed quote will be provided after your consultation.

The Process

Pre-Treatment

Before surgery, you’ll have a comprehensive consultation with your surgeon to discuss your goals, review your medical history, and evaluate your eyelid structure. You’ll also receive pre-operative instructions to help ensure a safe procedure.

Treatment

Blepharoplasty is typically carried out under local anaesthetic with sedation or general anaesthetic, depending on your case. The procedure involves carefully removing or repositioning skin and tissue to create a natural, rejuvenated appearance.

Post-Treatment

After surgery, you may experience temporary swelling, tightness, or bruising around the eyes. These usually improve within two weeks. You’ll receive detailed aftercare guidance to support your recovery and comfort.

Sides Effects & Risks

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks such as infection, dry eyes, scarring, or asymmetry. These are uncommon, and your surgeon will explain how risks are minimised and managed during your consultation.
