Revitalise Your Eyes with Eyelid Rejuvenation at Centre for Surgery in London
Your eyes are often the first feature people notice when they meet you. Do you always appear tired? Regrettably, our eye area frequently reveals our age due to volume loss and reduced elasticity. Ageing-related changes result in under-eye bags, dark circles, drooping eyelids, lower eyelid wrinkles, and a dull, lacklustre complexion. When patients visit Centre for Surgery seeking eyelid rejuvenation options for the periorbital region, our expert team thoroughly evaluates their individual needs and presents a range of non-surgical and surgical solutions to address the brow, upper eyelid, and lower eyelid.

At Centre for Surgery, our primary goal is to help you achieve a refreshed and youthful appearance, with eyes that reflect your true vitality. Our team of experienced, GMC-registered surgeons offers a comprehensive array of treatments, considering each patient’s unique needs and goals. By combining cutting-edge techniques with personalised care, we ensure that you receive the best possible outcome for your eyelid rejuvenation journey.
Our non-surgical options include dermal fillers, anti-wrinkle injections, and laser treatments, which can address volume loss, fine lines, and skin texture issues without the need for invasive surgery. These minimally invasive procedures involve minimal downtime and can provide natural-looking, lasting results.
For patients who require more extensive rejuvenation, we offer surgical options such as blepharoplasty, which can target the upper and lower eyelids. These procedures can effectively remove excess skin, tighten lax muscles, and eliminate fat pockets that contribute to a tired, aged appearance.

We provide guidance on lifestyle changes, skincare regimens, and other essential factors that can contribute to maintaining a vibrant, youthful appearance for your eyes.

Non-surgical options for fresher and younger-looking eyes
At Centre for Surgery, we understand the importance of addressing fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes to achieve a refreshed and youthful appearance. We offer a variety of medical-grade skincare programs, including chemical peels and laser resurfacing, to tackle these concerns. Additionally, cosmetic injectables provide a highly effective, minimally invasive solution for various aesthetic issues around the eyes. Here, we discuss the two most popular injectable options that have proven successful for our patients:
Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Anti-wrinkle injections are used to target the muscles responsible for wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions. Crow’s feet, the fine lines at the outer corners of the eyes that often develop with squinting and smiling, can be effectively treated with these injections.
When applied to the crow’s feet area, anti-wrinkle injections can also result in a subtle lifting of the outer part of the brow. This effect, known as a chemical brow lift, can serve as an early solution for addressing brow heaviness. Additionally, frown lines above the inner part of the eyebrow, which can give an angry or frustrated appearance, can be smoothed out using anti-wrinkle injections.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers, typically composed of hyaluronic acid, are another versatile injectable treatment option. These fillers can be used to restore lost volume and subtly elevate the brow. Furthermore, dermal fillers can help to camouflage the crease in the lower eyelid, known as the “tear trough.” This area can appear hollow and dark for some individuals, contributing to a tired appearance. By increasing the volume in the tear trough, patients can achieve a rejuvenated and refreshed look.
While cosmetic injectables and medical-grade skincare programs provide excellent results for many patients, some individuals may desire a more permanent solution.
Brow Lift London – Comprehensive Eyelid Surgical Rejuvenation Solutions for the Brow
Ageing is a natural process that often leads to a loss of volume behind the brow and a descent of the brow, causing the appealing arched appearance to diminish. The primary goal of surgical rejuvenation of the brow is not simply to elevate the brow and create a startled appearance, but rather to restore a pleasing arch with the outer brow higher than the inner brow. This restoration enhances fullness and volume, suggestive of a more youthful appearance.

At Centre for Surgery in London, we offer a range of tailored brow lift procedures to address each patient’s unique needs and preferences. Combining volume restoration techniques with surgical brow lift methods, we provide comprehensive solutions for rejuvenating the brow area.
One such method for restoring volume to the brow is through fat injections. This technique involves harvesting fat from the patient’s body, purifying it, and then injecting it into the brow area to create a plumper, more youthful look.

In addition to volume restoration, various surgical procedures can be employed to address different aspects of the brow, such as the inner brow, middle brow, or outer brow. These surgical procedures include:
- Endoscopic Brow Lift: Using an endoscope and specialized instruments, the surgeon makes small incisions within the hairline to lift the brow without visible scarring. This procedure can address the entire brow area, creating a balanced, refreshed appearance.
- Temporal Brow Lift: This minimally invasive technique focuses on lifting the outer third of the brow, resulting in a subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation.
- Full Open Brow Lift: This more traditional approach involves a longer incision along the hairline or within the forehead creases. This technique allows for more extensive lifting and repositioning of the brow, which is ideal for patients with significant sagging or asymmetry.

The key to the successful surgical rejuvenation of the brow lies in a personalised, individualised approach that addresses each patient’s specific needs and goals. Our experienced, GMC-registered surgeons at Centre for Surgery in London carefully assess your facial anatomy and aesthetic concerns to develop a customised treatment plan that delivers the most natural and harmonious results.

Upper Blepharoplasty – Comprehensive Upper Eyelid Rejuvenation Surgery in London
As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity and firmness, which can lead to the development of excess skin in the upper eyelid area. This excess skin may hang over the upper eyelid crease, covering the tarsal platform – the area between the upper eyelid crease and the eyelashes where women often apply eye shadow. When this excess skin interferes with the ability to wear eye shadow or affects one’s appearance, an upper blepharoplasty may be the solution.
At Centre for Surgery in London, we offer upper blepharoplasty procedures to address the concerns of excess skin and restore a more youthful, refreshed appearance to the eyes. Our expert surgeons carefully assess each patient’s unique needs to ensure that the treatment plan is tailored to achieve the best possible results.
During an upper blepharoplasty procedure, the surgeon removes the excess skin from the upper eyelid, effectively revealing the tarsal platform and enhancing the overall appearance of the eye area. This procedure not only improves the aesthetics of the eye but may also improve vision by removing excess skin that may be obstructing one’s field of view.
In cases where the excess skin extends beyond the upper eyelid crease and onto the eye socket on the outer part of the eye, the incision can be extended to address what is known as lateral hooding. This involves removing the additional fold of skin that sits over the crow’s feet, further improving the overall appearance of the eye area.
Lower Blepharoplasty – Advanced Lower Eyelid Surgery in London
The lower eyelid is composed of three layers: the outer layer of skin, the middle layer of muscle, and the inner layer of fat. To address various concerns related to the lower eyelid, surgical rejuvenation options may need to focus on one or more of these components. At Centre for Surgery, we offer lower blepharoplasty procedures tailored to each patient’s unique needs to achieve optimal results.
In some cases, the primary issue may be related to excess fat in the lower eyelid. This can be addressed through a transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty, where the surgeon makes an incision inside the eyelid. The excess fat can then be removed or repositioned to fill the tear trough area, creating a smooth transition between the eyelid and the cheek.
If the primary concern is excess skin on the lower eyelid, the surgeon will need to remove this skin through an external incision located just below the eyelashes, often extending out into one of the crow’s feet at the side of the eye. This approach ensures minimal visible scarring while effectively addressing the excess skin.
The terms subciliary and transconjunctival blepharoplasty are used to describe the two approaches to lower eyelid surgery. Subciliary blepharoplasty refers to the technique where the surgeon accesses the lower eyelid through an external incision in the skin, while transconjunctival blepharoplasty involves an internal incision to address excess fat.
What to Expect During Recovery After Blepharoplasty – Eyelid Surgery
Recovery time after eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, typically takes about a week to 10 days for the swelling to subside. Due to the potential impact of swelling on your vision, it is recommended to take at least one to two weeks off work to allow for proper healing and recovery.
There are several steps you can take to facilitate quicker recovery and ensure the best possible outcome from your eyelid surgery:
- Prioritise rest: Make sure you get plenty of bed rest during the initial stages of your recovery. This helps reduce swelling and allows your body to focus on healing.
- Limit physical activity: Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and intense exercise for the first few weeks after your surgery, as these can exacerbate swelling and increase the risk of complications.
- Eat well: A balanced diet rich in nutrients, vitamins, and minerals will support your body’s healing process. Focus on consuming whole foods, lean protein, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats.
- Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water and other fluids helps flush out toxins, supports healing, and maintains overall health during your recovery.
- Get sufficient sleep: Prioritise sleep during your recovery, as it is essential for your body’s healing process. Aim for at least 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night.
- Follow your surgeon’s instructions: Adhere to your surgeon’s recommendations for post-operative care, including wound care, taking prescribed medications, and attending follow-up appointments. This will help prevent complications and ensure a smooth recovery.

By clearing your work schedule and social commitments for the recommended recovery period and following your surgeon’s advice, you can expect a more efficient healing process with fewer complications. Remember that each person’s recovery time may vary, and it’s essential to listen to your body and give yourself the time needed to heal completely.
