Eye Bag Removal Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Eye bag removal or blepharoplasty helps remove the excess fat and skin around the eye area resulting in a wider and brighter appearance. It is common for the skin around our eyes to stretch and for the muscles that are supporting them to weaken with age. This can cause fat to gather above and below your eyelids, causing what we refer to as “eye bags”

At Zenith Clinics we offer an easy Eye Bag removal surgery, also known as “Blepharoplasty”.

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure which removes excess skin, muscle and fat to improve the appearance of the skin around your eyes, to create a more youthful appearance.

At Zenith Cosmetic Clinics, we can offer upper Blepharoplasty to tackle the drooping eyelids, lower Blepharoplasty for eye bags below the eyes or a combination of both. There are three types of eyelid surgery available:

Upper Eyelids (Upper Blepharoplasty)

Cuts are made into the natural lines and creases in your eyelids, and in the wrinkles (or laughter lines) at the corners of your eyes.

Lower Eye Bags (Lower Blepharoplasty)

When it comes to lower Blepharoplasty, cuts are made just below your eyelashes. This means your scars will run along the natural folds of your eyes. The benefit of this is that scars are generally hidden, which is a concern for our male patients.

Combination of both Upper and Lower Eyelids

Cuts are made into the natural line and creases, in addition to below your eyelashes under the eye. Once the cuts have been made on all 3 of the above, excess fat, muscle and loose skin are then removed, and the cut is closed using fine dissolvable stitches. If only fat is removed and there is no excess skin, the cut may be made inside the lower eyelids, leaving no visible scar. Your Surgeon will apply ointment to your eye area to stop it from drying out and use sterile paper tape to support your eyelids. It is not uncommon for our male patients to feel anxious about surgery, especially around the eye area.

What Happens Before The Procedure?

You will meet with your Surgeon and Surgical Coordinator before your surgery which will help you to feel comfortable and safe, and allow you to ask as many questions as you like! During your initial consultation, you will be assessed by our plastic surgeon to see your suitability for the procedure and to discuss the possible risks and complications. You will have a second consultation with our surgeon. The Surgeon will confirm what is expected and you will then be asked to sign a patient consent form. During your consultation, we can discuss in greater depth whether we recommend an Upper Blepharoplasty, Lower Blepharoplasty or a combination of both. Nothing will go ahead unless you are 100% happy!

Once all agreed, you will need to attend a pre-operative assessment between 2-5 weeks prior to your surgery. This is where you will come and meet us again to go through your medical history, take your measurements (height, weight, BMI) and perform a Bloods and MRSA test to ensure you are fit for surgery. Your surgeon will examine your eyes and take various photographs to begin with so that the results of surgery can be compared with your original appearance. On the day of your surgery, your Surgeon may draw around your eyes to confirm the exact size and positioning of any incisions and to guide him during your procedure.

What Is Eye Bag Removal Surgery Used For?

Blepharoplasty Eye Bag Removal is used to reverse eye bags, sagging or drooping eyelids, and puffy skin around your eyes. By removing the problem area, you’re left with wider eyes and a youthful glow that leaves you looking (and feeling) years younger! As well as being a popular cosmetic procedure for men, Blepharoplasty also has functional applications too. The excess and sagging skin around the eye area can impair your peripheral vision, making everyday tasks such as driving more hazardous. By removing this excess skin, you can remove those drooping eyelids, and improve your field of vision!
