Upper eyelid surgery conquers drooping eyelids, excess skin, and puffiness in the upper eye area. This surgery will make your eyes look open and stunningly youthful.
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty, or simply 'under eye surgery', targets concerns such as under-eye bags, sagging skin, and puffiness in the lower eyelid area. This surgery will make your eyes look tight, beautifully smooth, and free of eye bags.
Some individuals may require both upper and lower eyelid surgery to achieve the desired results. This combination surgery will make your eyes look open, beautifully smooth, and free of eye bags.
The appearance of excess and saggy skin around the eyelids, frustratingly for some, can't always be avoided. However, our Blepharoplasty surgery provides the solution to reverse these damages. The main causes include:
As we age, the skin naturally loses its elasticity and becomes less firm. This can lead to the development of excess skin and sagging around the eyelids.
Some individuals are genetically predisposed to have looser skin or weaker connective tissues around the eyelids, which can contribute to the appearance of sagging around the eyes.
Prolonged and unprotected exposure to the sun's harmful UV rays can accelerate the breakdown of collagen in the skin. This can result in premature ageing and the development of saggy skin around the eyelids.
Certain lifestyle habits, such as smoking and poor nutrition, can negatively impact skin health and contribute to the loss of elasticity and the formation of sagging skin on your face.
Over time, fat can accumulate in the eyelid area, causing puffiness and contributing to a heavier, sagging appearance. If weight is lost, this can also result in loose skin around the eyes.

At the consultation, your surgeon will ask you about the changes you’d like to make to your eye bags. You’ll talk about the surgery itself and any risks involved. The risks will be outlined clearly to you, although it’s worth knowing that Blepharoplasty surgery is relatively low-risk.
The surgeon will ask you about your medical history and examine your face to see if Blepharoplasty would be the right treatment plan for you. If it isn't, don't worry! We’ve got other procedures which may be better suited.

As we age, our eyes can become puffy and saggy. Although this is completely natural, we understand that some patients think it makes them look older and more tired. Blepharoplasty can take years off you by quickly and carefully removing those eye bags. You may consider Blepharoplasty surgery if you have the following:
✔ Baggy Eyelids - Excess skin and fat in the upper and lower eyelids, creating a tired or aged appearance.
✔ Puffy Under-Eye Bags - Swelling and fatty deposits beneath the eyes that give a constantly tired or haggard look.
✔ Impaired Vision - Heavy upper eyelids that obstruct vision, affecting daily activities and reducing quality of life.
Blepharoplasty fixes these problems by removing excess skin, reducing fat deposits, and tightening muscles around the eyes. It is a relatively low-risk procedure with a high success rate.

It’s important to note that Blepharoplasty does not target fine lines or wrinkles around the eyes; these may require complementary treatments.
Eyelid surgery is typically well tolerated by most patients. Local or general anaesthesia is administered during the procedure to ensure your comfort.
While some discomfort, swelling, and bruising are expected during the initial recovery phase, these can be managed with the pain medication provided and cold compresses.
Our expert surgeons and medical staff prioritise your comfort and will provide you with the necessary pain management techniques to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery process.
Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising in the first 1–2 weeks. Normal activities can typically resume shortly after, while full results become visible over several weeks as healing progresses. Surgeons provide personalised aftercare guidance to ensure optimal recovery and comfort. Our specialist ENT and facial surgeons have decades of experience in providing aftercare guidance - we hope this provides comfort to you.
Scars are strategically placed along the natural eyelid creases, making them discreet. Over time, with proper care, these scars usually fade and become barely visible.
Incisions are placed in natural eyelid creases or just below the lower lashes, making scars very discreet. Over time, scars usually fade significantly.
As with any surgery, Blepharoplasty carries some risks, including temporary dryness, swelling, bruising, or asymmetry. Though, the procedure is relatively low-risk and serious complications are rare. A thorough discussion with your surgeon prior to surgery helps you understand all potential risks and ensures realistic expectations.
