What is Eyelid procedure?

Blepharoplasty improves the appearance and function of the upper and/or lower eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle. It rejuvenates tired-looking eyes and can improve visual fields when upper lids droop significantly.

Performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia. Duration 45–120 minutes. Usually a day-case procedure

Eyes appear brighter and more defined. Scars fade over months, typically hidden in natural creases. Results are long-lasting, although ageing continues.
