Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance or function of the upper and lower eyelids. It involves removing or repositioning excess skin and fat, and occasionally adjusting supporting tissues, to create smoother eyelid contours and a more refreshed appearance.

More Youthful Eye Appearance: Reduces visible signs of ageing around the eyes for a fresher, more rested appearance. Reduction of Drooping Upper Eyelids: Removes excess skin that contributes to heavy or hooded upper eyelids. Improvement of Under-Eye Bags: Removes or repositions protruding fat to create smoother lower eyelid contours. Reduced Eyelid Puffiness: Addresses selected causes of persistent puffiness related to protruding orbital fat. Improved Peripheral Vision: May improve the visual field when excess upper eyelid skin obstructs vision. Natural-Looking Rejuvenation: Preserves natural eye shape and facial expressions. Long-Lasting Results: Surgical improvements can remain noticeable for many years, although natural ageing continues. Personalised Surgical Approach: Treatment tailored to individual eyelid anatomy, facial proportions, and aesthetic expectations.

Upper blepharoplasty focuses on removing excess skin and, when necessary, fat from the upper eyelids to reduce heaviness and hooding. Lower blepharoplasty addresses under-eye bags, protruding fat, loose skin, and selected lower eyelid contour concerns.

Suitable candidates are generally healthy adults experiencing excess upper eyelid skin, hooded eyelids, persistent under-eye bags, or lower eyelid laxity.

Upper blepharoplasty can remove excess upper eyelid skin that creates a hooded or heavy appearance. However, hooding caused partly by a low eyebrow position may also require brow lift surgery.

Lower blepharoplasty can improve under-eye bags caused by protruding orbital fat. Depending on the patient's anatomy, the surgeon may remove or reposition fat to create a smoother transition between the lower eyelid and cheek.

Upper blepharoplasty typically takes approximately 45–90 minutes, while lower blepharoplasty may take 1–2 hours. Combined upper and lower eyelid surgery generally takes longer, depending on the technique and complexity.

Swelling and bruising are common during the first 1–2 weeks. Many patients can return to light daily activities and non-strenuous work within approximately 7–14 days.

Upper blepharoplasty incisions are typically positioned within the natural upper eyelid crease. Lower blepharoplasty incisions may be placed just below the eyelashes or inside the lower eyelid. Scars are permanent but usually become less noticeable as healing progresses.

Upper blepharoplasty results often remain noticeable for approximately 5–10 years or longer, while lower eyelid fat correction may provide long-lasting improvement.

When excess upper eyelid skin obstructs the visual field, upper blepharoplasty may improve peripheral vision.

Yes. Upper and lower blepharoplasty can be performed during the same operation when clinically appropriate. Combined surgery may provide more comprehensive eye rejuvenation

Blepharoplasty may be combined with brow lift surgery when eyebrow descent contributes to upper eyelid hooding. Treating both concerns can improve the overall balance of the upper face.

Initial improvements become visible as bruising and swelling decrease over the first few weeks. More mature results are generally apparent within approximately 2–3 months

Blepharoplasty can be performed on both women and men. Surgical planning considers differences in eyelid anatomy, eyebrow position, facial proportions, and aesthetic preferences to preserve a natural appearance.
