Blepharoplasty, often called eyelid surgery, is a precise cosmetic and functional procedure designed to rejuvenate the area around your eyes. Over time, the delicate skin of the eyelids can stretch, and muscles may weaken, causing drooping lids, puffiness, or under-eye bags. These changes can make you look tired or older than you feel and in some cases, can even affect your vision.
During a Blepharoplasty, a specialist surgeon carefully removes or repositions excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. The result is a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance around the eyes, with natural contours restored. Whether performed for aesthetic enhancement or improved sight, Blepharoplasty is a safe, transformative procedure that can renew both your appearance and confidence.
Before recommending Blepharoplasty, your surgeon will carry out a thorough eye and facial assessment to determine whether eyelid surgery is the right option for you. This includes examining skin elasticity, muscle tone, fat distribution, and the position of your eyelids relative to your eyes and brow. If drooping lids are affecting your vision, additional tests, such as visual field measurements may be performed to document any obstruction.
Treatment involves a precise surgical procedure carried out under local or general anaesthesia, depending on your needs. The surgeon makes small, discreet incisions along the natural eyelid creases to remove or reposition excess skin, fat, and muscle. After surgery, patients are given tailored aftercare instructions to support healing, reduce swelling, and protect the delicate tissue around the eyes. Most people return to normal activities within one to two weeks, enjoying a refreshed, natural look that can last for many years.

Thinking about eyelid surgery often brings up a few important questions. Here are some of the most common things patients ask before booking their consultation, from recovery time to long-term results.
Most upper or lower eyelid surgeries take between 45 and 90 minutes. Combined procedures may take longer but are usually completed within one session.
Incisions are placed carefully within the natural folds of the eyelid, making scars almost invisible once healed. With good aftercare, they fade to a fine line that blends with your skin tone.
Most people return to normal daily activities after about one to two weeks. Bruising and swelling typically reduce within 7–10 days, and final results continue to improve over several months.
The procedure itself is performed under local or general anaesthetic, so you won’t feel pain during surgery. Some tightness or mild discomfort is normal during recovery, but this is usually well managed with prescribed medication.
Results are long-lasting, often 10 years or more. While the natural ageing process continues, most patients enjoy a permanently refreshed, youthful eye contour with no need for frequent repeat procedures.
You may be suitable if you have droopy eyelids, puffiness, or sagging skin that affects your appearance or vision. A consultation with an oculoplastic surgeon will confirm suitability based on your eye health, skin elasticity, and aesthetic goals.
