What is Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)?
Blepharoplasty is surgery to remove or reposition selected eyelid skin or tissue. Upper and lower eyelid concerns require different assessments and it does not resolve every cause of tired-looking eyes.
Who it's for
Adults with suitable excess eyelid skin or under-eye tissue changes may consider surgery. Dry eyes, eye conditions and other health issues need discussion; some patients require ophthalmic assessment.
Treatment is for adults only. Tell us about pregnancy, breastfeeding, allergies, current medicines and previous procedures so we can assess suitability.
What to expect on the day
Blepharoplasty is performed by a consultant plastic surgeon after an in-person consultation, with a cooling-off period before surgery. Your surgeon discusses the approach, anaesthesia, alternatives and consent before any decision to proceed.
Downtime and aftercare
Bruising, swelling, scars and temporary eye irritation can occur. Bleeding, infection, eyelid closure problems, asymmetry and rare vision-threatening complications must be discussed. Arrange recovery support and follow wound-care and eye-care instructions closely.

FAQs
Can I have surgery immediately after consultation?
No. An in-person consultation and a cooling-off period allow you to reflect, ask questions and consider alternatives without pressure.
Who may need to postpone treatment?
Active infection, pregnancy or breastfeeding, certain medicines and relevant health conditions may affect suitability. Tell the clinician your full history; do not stop prescribed medicines without medical advice.
What will recovery involve?
Bruising, swelling, scars and temporary eye irritation can occur. Bleeding, infection, eyelid closure problems, asymmetry and rare vision-threatening complications must be discussed. Arrange recovery support and follow wound-care and eye-care instructions closely.
How many treatments will I need?
The plan depends on the concern, chosen method and your response. A single procedure, staged care or no treatment may be recommended; there is no standard course suitable for everyone.
Are results guaranteed?
No. Results vary between individuals. Your clinician explains realistic limitations, possible complications and alternatives, including choosing not to proceed.
