Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Reduction Surgery) aims to correct the drooping, tired look that lax eyelids give the face. The changes in the eye over time include excess skin, laxity of the tissues beneath it and excess or protuberant fat. Because the upper eyelid aesthetics are also affected by the position of the eyebrow, Upper Blepharoplasty should be considered in combination with assessment of the brow position. In your assessment Mr Price will discuss whether you would get more benefit from one or both procedures, dependent upon your personal requirements.

An Upper Blepharoplasty procedure takes place through an incision in the eyelid fold, which cannot be seen when the eyes are open. Occasionally it needs to extend outwards, depending upon the shape of your upper eyelid, and so in these instances there will be a small amount of the scar visible. The scar usually sits in a crows line, so is well hidden.

During the operation, excess fat, muscle and skin is removed and then the skin is sutured and taped. After the operation, your eyes will be swollen and bruised. The bruising takes 7-10 days to go away but is easily hidden with sunglasses.

Mr Price will discuss the other risks of the procedure in your consultation, as well as the need (or otherwise) for a brow lift procedure.
