Upper Blepharoplasty
“The eyes are the windows to your soul.” William Shakespeare
Blepharoplasty is an operation to improve the appearance of your eyelids. It removes the excess skin and fat that causes baggy or puffy eyelids, to give a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Upper blepharoplasty
An upper blepharoplasty addresses the signs of ageing on your upper eyelids, like “hooding” of excess skin, which can droop over your eyelashes. This can make you look tired and, in some cases, it can also obstruct your vision.
This operation is typically done under local anaesthetic, and you can go home the same day. It leaves a scar that is well-concealed along the natural crease of your upper eyelids. There will be some bruising and swelling after the procedure, but this will mostly settle within two weeks.
