Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery, also known as Blepharoplasty, can correct drooping upper lids and puffy bags below the eyes – features that make you look older or more tired than you feel. In some cases, it can even improve vision that is impaired by sagging lids.

Blepharoplasty surgery typically takes one hour and is usually performed under general anaesthetic. Blepharoplasty involves removing excess fat muscle and skin from the eyelid. This treatment is a good option for patients wishing for a more youthful, fresher appearance.

Following surgery, swelling, bruising, and sensitivity to light may occur, but will resolve within 10 days to 2 weeks.

Eyelid surgery can be performed in conjunction with a facelift or browlift. This procedure will not remove crows feet or other wrinkles, eliminate dark circles under the eyes or lift sagging eyebrows.
