Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Open up your eyes to a more youthful and refreshed appearance with eyelid surgery – a safe and effective way to rejuvenate your look and boost your confidence

The eyes are said to be the windows to the soul, but unfortunately, they are also one of the first places where the signs of ageing become apparent. As we grow older, the skin around our eyes begins to lose its elasticity, causing it to wrinkle and sag, leading to a tired and aged appearance.

Fortunately, advancements in plastic and cosmetic surgery have made it possible to restore a more youthful appearance around the eyes through blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery. This surgical procedure involves removing excess skin and fatty tissue from the eyelids to eliminate bags underneath the eyes and reduce the hood of skin that can form on the upper eyelids. Additionally, the surgery can also smooth out the crow’s feet wrinkles that tend to form at the corners of the eyes.

In performing the eyelid surgery, the surgeon will carefully consider the individual’s facial structure and desired outcome to determine the most appropriate surgical approach. The procedure can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the extent of the sagging and wrinkling.

For many individuals, the results of eyelid surgery are remarkably rejuvenating and can make them look years younger. Not only does this cosmetic surgery restore a more youthful appearance, but it can also help individuals regain their self-confidence and feel more comfortable in their own skin.

While eyelid surgery is generally considered safe, it is important to note that, like any surgical procedure, there are some potential risks and complications. It is crucial to consult with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon at Centre for Surgery who can provide a thorough evaluation, discuss the potential benefits and risks, and guide you in making an informed decision about whether eyelid surgery is right for you.

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that aims to improve the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids. This procedure can address various issues such as excess skin, wrinkles, puffiness, bags, and fatty deposits that can make a person look tired, older or give an unflattering appearance to the eyes. The procedure is performed by a plastic or oculoplastic surgeon, and it can be done on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the patient’s needs and goals. During the procedure, the surgeon will remove excess skin, fat, and muscle, and then tighten the remaining tissue to create a smooth and youthful appearance. The procedure is typically performed under local or general anaesthesia. Recovery time varies depending on the extent of the surgery, but most people can return to work and normal activities within a week or two. The results of blepharoplasty are usually long-lasting and can have a significant impact on a person’s appearance and self-confidence.

Types of Blepharoplasty Procedures

Blepharoplasty is a versatile cosmetic surgery that can be customised to fit the specific needs of each patient. There are several types of blepharoplasty procedures that can target different areas of the eyes and achieve various aesthetic goals. Here are some of the most common types of blepharoplasty procedures:

1. Upper Blepharoplasty: This procedure is designed to address the excess skin and fat on the upper eyelids, which can cause drooping and make the eyes look tired. During the surgery, the surgeon will make an incision along the natural crease of the eyelid and remove the excess tissue, tightening the skin and giving the eyes a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
2. Lower Blepharoplasty: This procedure focuses on the lower eyelids, specifically the bags and puffiness that can form beneath the eyes. The surgeon will make an incision either inside the lower eyelid or along the lash line and remove the excess fat and tissue, smoothing out the area and reducing the appearance of bags and dark circles.
3. Lateral Canthoplasty: Also known as almond eye surgery, this procedure is typically performed on patients with narrow or small eyes. The surgery involves creating an elongated outer corner of the eye by cutting and repositioning the outer corner of the eyelids. This results in a more almond-shaped eye and a wider, more open appearance.
4. Asian Blepharoplasty: This procedure is specifically designed for patients of Asian descent who may have different anatomical features than those of other ethnicities. The surgery involves creating a double eyelid by removing excess tissue and creating a natural crease on the upper eyelid.
5. Male Blepharoplasty: Men may also benefit from blepharoplasty procedures to address signs of ageing or other aesthetic concerns around the eyes. Male blepharoplasty typically involves a more subtle approach to ensure a natural-looking result that doesn’t appear too feminine.

Blepharoplasty Expected Results

The vast majority of individuals who undergo blepharoplasty find that the procedure significantly rejuvenates their appearance, imbuing them with a fresh and vibrant look. While it’s important to keep in mind that blepharoplasty is not a comprehensive solution for eradicating all signs of ageing such as wrinkles, the results it does deliver can be quite transformative. After the procedure, patients often report that their countenance looks more alert and youthful, suggesting an overall sense of renewal.

In terms of scarring, blepharoplasty generally results in minimal visible marks. Initially, the surgical scars might exhibit a somewhat pinkish hue, but with time, these marks undergo a significant transformation. Over a period of six months or potentially longer, the scars will gradually fade and become less noticeable. Ultimately, they will evolve into thin, subtle lines that are nearly invisible to the naked eye. These faint, white lines often blend seamlessly with the natural creases of your skin, making them even less perceptible. This transition in the appearance of the surgical scars is a gradual process, but it’s an essential part of the healing journey that leads to a more youthful and refreshed look.

Please note that the images presented here are intended solely for educational purposes and should be interpreted subjectively. They do not necessarily reflect the opinions or views of any patient regarding their results, nor are they intended to indicate the outcome that another patient may achieve. These images serve only as factual guidelines and represent the results that have been achieved by other patients. It is important to understand that no two patients are exactly alike, and therefore, no two results are necessarily the same. It is recommended that a personal consultation with your surgeon is conducted to provide you with a realistic expectation of the results you may achieve from a specific procedure.

What to look for in blepharoplasty before & after photos

When considering blepharoplasty, looking at before and after photos of previous patients can be helpful to get a better idea of what kind of results to expect. However, it’s important to approach these photos with a critical eye and keep the following factors in mind:

1. Lighting: Make sure that the lighting in the before and after photos is consistent and that there are no shadows or other factors that could obscure the results. Ideally, the photos should be taken in the same location with the same lighting to ensure a fair comparison.
2. Angles: The angle of the photos can also have an impact on the perceived results. Look for photos that are taken from a variety of angles to get a more comprehensive view of the outcome. Ideally, the photos should be taken at the same distance and angle to ensure an accurate comparison.
3. Timeframe: Consider the timeframe between the before and after photos. A significant amount of time should have passed to allow for proper healing and for the final results to become visible. Typically, it takes several weeks to several months for the full results of blepharoplasty to be visible.
4. Consistency: Look for photos of patients who have a similar facial structure and age to you. This will give you a better idea of what kind of results to expect for your individual case.
5. Realistic expectations: Keep in mind that the results of blepharoplasty can vary depending on the individual case. Be wary of before and after photos that promise dramatic or unrealistic results, as this could be a sign of an inexperienced or unscrupulous surgeon.
6. Overall aesthetic: Consider not only the improvement in the eye area but also how the result has improved the overall aesthetic of the face. The result should look natural and not overly operated.

Several factors can contribute to eyelid sagging, also known as ptosis. These include:

1. Ageing: As we age, the skin and muscles in the eyelids can weaken and lose elasticity, leading to sagging and drooping of the eyelids.
2. Genetics: Some people may have a genetic predisposition to eyelid sagging, which may run in families.
3. Neurological conditions: Certain neurological conditions, such as myasthenia gravis or Horner’s syndrome, can cause eyelid sagging due to muscle weakness or dysfunction.
4. Trauma or injury: Trauma to the eye or surrounding area, such as a blow to the head, can cause eyelid sagging.
5. Previous eyelid surgery: Sagging can occur as a complication of eyelid surgery, such as blepharoplasty.
6. Eyelid tumours or cysts: Tumours or cysts on the eyelid can cause the eyelid to droop.

RELATED: Eyelid Lumps and Bumps

It’s important to note that eyelid sagging can also be a normal part of the ageing process, and does not always indicate a serious underlying condition. Consultation with an Oculoplastic surgeon or Plastic surgeon at Centre for Surgery is the best way to determine the cause of eyelid sagging and the appropriate treatment options.

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that targets the upper and/or lower eyelids to improve their appearance. The procedure can target a variety of conditions, including:

1. Excess skin: As we age, the skin on the eyelids can lose elasticity, causing it to droop or sag. Blepharoplasty can remove this excess skin and give the eyes a more youthful and alert appearance.
2. Puffy or “bags” under the eyes: The accumulation of fat in the lower eyelids can create a puffy or “baggy” appearance. Blepharoplasty can remove this excess fat to reduce puffiness and create a more rested and refreshed look.
3. Hooded eyelids: The skin on the upper eyelids can droop and create a hooded appearance, which can make the eyes look smaller or less open. Blepharoplasty can remove excess skin and fat to lift the upper eyelids and create a more alert and youthful appearance.
4. Obstructed vision: In some cases, excess skin on the upper eyelids can obstruct vision. In these cases, blepharoplasty may be performed for functional rather than cosmetic reasons.
5. Wrinkles and fine lines: While blepharoplasty is not specifically designed to address wrinkles and fine lines, the procedure can improve the overall appearance of the eyelids, which can make wrinkles and fine lines less noticeable.

It’s important to note that blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure and carries certain risks, such as infection, bleeding, and scarring. Therefore, it’s important to consult with a qualified UK plastic surgeon and have realistic expectations about the procedure results. In addition, non-surgical options, such as SmoothEye Laser, can also be considered an alternative to achieve eyelid tightening results.

If you are considering blepharoplasty, it’s important to prepare for the procedure to ensure the best possible outcome. Here are some steps you can take to prepare for blepharoplasty:

• Schedule a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon at Centre for Surgery: During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your eyelids, discuss your goals and concerns, and explain the details of the procedure. They will also determine whether you are a good candidate for blepharoplasty.
• Follow your surgeon’s preoperative instructions: Your surgeon will provide you with specific instructions to follow before the procedure, such as avoiding certain medications and supplements and avoiding smoking and alcohol. Following these instructions carefully is important to minimise risks and ensure optimal healing.
• Arrange for transportation and assistance: You cannot drive yourself home after the procedure, so it’s important to arrange for transportation and assistance. You should also take time off work or other responsibilities to recover from the procedure.
• Prepare your recovery area: Prepare a comfortable recovery area in your home, with plenty of pillows to elevate your head and ice packs to reduce swelling. Make sure you have all necessary items, such as medication, gauze, and ointment at hand.
• Discuss your expectations with your surgeon: It’s important to have realistic expectations about the results of blepharoplasty. While the procedure can improve the appearance of the eyelids, it may not fully correct wrinkles or dark circles around the eyes and the results may not be permanent. Your surgeon will be able to provide you with a better idea of what you can expect.
• Have a healthy lifestyle: Keep in mind that maintaining a healthy lifestyle before and after surgery will support the healing process and the overall results. This means eating a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.

Upper Blepharoplasty

Upper blepharoplasty is also known as upper eyelid surgery. It allows upper eyelid rejuvenation without undergoing significant facial changes, as with a facelift. It is normal to have eyelid skin, but with the ageing process, the reduction of collagen and elastin leads to eyelid laxity, and this can make a person look more tired. Patients will often remark their work colleagues think they look tired all the time. For women, the application of make-up can become more difficult due to the extra loose skin and applying cosmetics like eyeshadow becomes more difficult, to apply. For younger women in their thirties, one of the most common reasons for seeking upper blepharoplasty is the difficulty with applying makeup. Patients often notice their upper eyelid feels heavier, and patients may actively elevate their brows without thinking to open up their eyes more. Constant activation of the frontalis muscle, which is the main elevator of the brow, may increase the incidence of horizontal forehead wrinkles. Treating these forehead wrinkles with neurotoxin is not effective until the extra skin of the upper eyelid is removed. Many practitioners will incorrectly treat the frontalis muscle with neurotoxin when the patient actually needs an upper blepharoplasty. This is because the neurotoxin will prevent the brows from being able to be raised, and this will amplify the impression of the upper eyelids looking even more saggy and droopy. In these cases, the priority is always to treat the upper eyelids before the horizontal forehead lines.

Lower Blepharoplasty

Patients often seek a lower blepharoplasty to address the presence of under-eye bags. Patients both feel as if they look constantly tired as well as being remarked upon by work colleagues. The skin of the lower eyelid is the thinnest skin on the entire face. It is, therefore, very prone to undergoing premature ageing changes with the appearance of wrinkly skin. Patients will often have targeting injections of HA filler to this area, which are referred to as ‘tear trough’ injections. Injection of the tear trough is one of the most challenging areas to treat. Sometimes, the area is inappropriately treated with HA filler when the more suitable treatment is a lower blepharoplasty. The treatment of dark circles, the hollowness of the lower eyelids and loose skin is optimally addressed with a combination of lower blepharoplasty, fat grafting and laser resurfacing. It is important to consult with a specialist facial plastic surgeon to ensure you get optimal outcomes.

Aesthetic Blepharoplasty

An aesthetic blepharoplasty is performed on the upper and lower eyelids. Aesthetic eyelid surgery is indicated for rejuvenation of the upper and lower eyelid region.

Reconstructive Blepharoplasty

A reconstructive blepharoplasty is used when the extra upper eyelid interferes with the patient’s vision or due to some other medical issue such as excessive tearing, thyroid eye disease, removal of eyelid lumps and bumps or revision blepharoplasty.

The procedure typically involves the following steps:

• Anaesthesia: Before the procedure, the patient will be given either local anaesthesia with oral sedation or general anaesthesia. Local anaesthesia numbs the area around the eyes, while general anaesthesia puts the patient to sleep.
• Incision: The surgeon will make a small incision along the natural crease of the upper eyelid or just below the lashes of the lower eyelid. Through this incision, the surgeon will remove excess skin, fat, and muscle as needed.

• Reshaping: After removing the excess tissue, the surgeon will reshape the eyelids to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance. This may involve repositioning or removing fat or removing excess skin or muscle.
• Closing the incision: The incision will then be closed with sutures, surgical glue or tape, and/or skin adhesive.
• Recovery: After the procedure, the patient will be given instructions for recovery, including how to care for the incision site, how to reduce swelling and bruising, and when to return for follow-up appointments.

It’s important to note that the procedure may be performed on one or both eyelids and that the steps may vary depending on the specific needs of the patient.

RELATED: What Does Eyelid Surgery Involve?

The procedure itself usually takes between 1 to 2 hours, and patients can go home the same day. Recovery time may vary from person to person, but generally, patients can expect to have some swelling and bruising around the eyes for the first week or two, and complete recovery can take up to a month. Patients are usually able to return to work and other normal activities within a week or two, but strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for a few weeks.

It’s also important to note that the final results of blepharoplasty may not be visible for several weeks or months as the swelling and bruising subside.

As with any surgical procedure, it’s important to have realistic expectations and to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure with a qualified plastic surgeon before undergoing blepharoplasty.

Recovery after blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, can vary depending on the extent of the procedure and the individual’s overall health. However, there are some general guidelines that can be followed to promote healing and minimise discomfort during the recovery process.

RELATED: Recovery After Eyelid Surgery – Top Tips

Immediately following the surgery, patients may experience swelling and bruising around the eyes, which can typically be managed with cold compresses and over-the-counter pain medication. It’s important to keep the head elevated for the first few days to reduce swelling and to avoid strenuous activity, such as bending or lifting.

RELATED: How to Reduce Bruising and Swelling after Eyelid Surgery

Stitches will be removed within the first week, and most patients are able to return to work and normal activities within a week or two, depending on the type of procedure. However, strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks to prevent any complications.

Patients should also avoid exposing their eyes to the sun or wind and should use sunscreen to protect the skin from damage during the healing process. It’s also important to follow any additional instructions provided by the surgeon, such as keeping the eyes clean and using eye drops as directed.

It’s normal for the eyes to feel dry and itchy for the first few weeks after the surgery, but these symptoms should improve as the eyes heal. Patients should also be aware that the final results of the surgery may not be fully visible for several months as the swelling and bruising subside.

Overall, it is important to follow the postoperative instructions given by the surgeon and to be patient while the body heals. The results of blepharoplasty can be very satisfying and long-lasting.

RELATED: How long is blepharoplasty recovery?

Several things can be done to speed up recovery after eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty.

1. Follow postoperative instructions: It is crucial to follow the instructions provided by the surgeon in order to promote healing and minimize the risk of complications. This may include keeping the head elevated, avoiding strenuous activity, and using cold compresses to reduce swelling.
2. Manage pain and swelling: Pain and swelling are common after eyelid surgery, but they can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication and cold compresses. Applying a cold compress to the eyes for 20-30 minutes at a time, several times a day, can help to reduce swelling and discomfort.
3. Keep eyes clean and moisturised: Keeping the eyes clean and moisturized can also help to speed up recovery. The surgeon may provide specific instructions for cleaning the eyes, and it’s important to follow these instructions to prevent infection. Using artificial tears or eye drops can also help to keep the eyes lubricated and reduce dryness and itching.
4. Avoid exposure to sun and wind: To minimise the risk of complications and promote healing, it’s important to avoid exposing the eyes to the sun or wind for the first few weeks after surgery. Wearing sunglasses can help to protect the eyes from UV rays and wind.
5. Get enough rest and take it easy: It is important to get enough rest and take it easy during the recovery period. Avoiding strenuous activity and getting plenty of sleep can help the body to heal more quickly.
6. Avoid smoking: Smoking can slow down the healing process and increases the risk of complications after eyelid surgery. It’s best to avoid smoking for at least two weeks before and after the surgery.

By following these tips, patients can help to speed up recovery after eyelid surgery and achieve optimal results from the procedure. It’s important to keep in mind that healing times can vary depending on the individual and the extent of the surgery, but with proper care, patients can usually return to normal activities within a few weeks.

RELATED: Exercise After Eyelid Surgery

One of the concerns that patients may have about the procedure is the appearance of scars after the surgery. Here is what you should know about blepharoplasty scars:

1. Location of the scars: The incisions for blepharoplasty are typically made along the natural crease of the upper eyelid or just below the lashes of the lower eyelid. These incisions are carefully placed in areas where they are less visible and are well-concealed by the natural contours of the eyelids.
2. Size and appearance of the scars: The size and appearance of the scars will depend on the extent of the procedure and the individual healing process. In most cases, the scars are small and well-hidden. They may be slightly red or pink for the first few weeks, but will typically fade over time.
3. Healing process: It’s important to follow the post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon to ensure proper healing and minimize the risk of complications such as infection or scarring. Your surgeon will also provide you with information on how to care for the incision site and reduce the appearance of the scars.
4. Scar treatment: In some cases, scar treatment may be required to improve the appearance of the scars. Options include silicone gel or silicone sheets, or other topical treatments such as topical retinoids, silicone-based products, or vitamin E oil.
5. Final results: It’s important to note that the final results of blepharoplasty, including the appearance of the scars, may not be visible for several weeks or months as the swelling and bruising subsides.

It’s important to remember that every patient and every surgery is unique, and it’s hard to predict the exact outcome of the scarring. However, in most cases, the scars are small, well-hidden, and fade over time. Consult with your board-certified plastic surgeon to understand the expected results and the potential risks and complications of the procedure, including the scars.

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that aims to improve the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids. While the procedure is generally safe, there are certain risks and complications that patients should be aware of before undergoing the procedure.

1. Infection: As with any surgical procedure, blepharoplasty carries a small risk of infection. This can be minimized by following proper pre- and post-operative instructions and taking antibiotics as prescribed by your surgeon.
2. Bleeding: There is a small risk of bleeding during or after the procedure. This can be minimized by avoiding blood thinning medications such as aspirin and ibuprofen before the procedure.
3. Scarring: Some patients may experience scarring after blepharoplasty. The scars are typically located in natural creases and are not visible. However, in some cases, the scars may be more noticeable and may require further treatment.
4. Dry eyes: Some patients may experience dry eyes after the procedure, which can be treated with artificial tears or other lubricants.
5. Asymmetry: In rare cases, there may be some degree of asymmetry in the eyes after the procedure, which can be corrected with revision surgery.
6. Numbness or tingling: Some patients may experience numbness or tingling in the eyelids after the procedure, which is usually temporary and goes away within a few weeks.
7. Changes in vision: In rare cases, the procedure can cause changes in vision, such as double vision, dry eyes, or eyelid drooping. This can be corrected with revision surgery or other treatments.
8. dissatisfaction with the results: Although rare, some patients may be disappointed with the results of their surgery. This can happen if patients have unrealistic expectations or if the surgeon does not achieve the desired outcome.

It’s important to note that these risks and complications are rare, and most patients experience a successful procedure with minimal side effects. However, it’s important to have realistic expectations and to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure with a qualified plastic surgeon before undergoing surgery.

Trust a facial plastic surgeon

A facial plastic surgeon is trained to undertake aesthetic surgical procedures in the facial region. They are dedicated sub-specialists. Compared with general plastic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons are inherently better trained to perform delicate procedures in the eye region. The extra years of surgical training by facial specialists focused on the facial region results in an exceptionally high degree of skill. Blepharoplasty surgery is highly intricate, and our surgeons are highly experienced in undertaking surgery on the delicate eyelid region.

So glad I went with centre for surgery, the whole process went very smoothly from the consultations down to the actual day of the procedure. I was so nervous on the day but the whole team put me at ease and I’m happy with my results as I feel a lot more comfortable wearing certain clothes now. My surgeon was Alberto Di Giuseppe who performed a breast Augmentation on me, and I would definitely recommend as he was very clear on what the outcome of the surgery would be and which size would look the best for my frame.

This was overall a great experience, all the staff at Centre for Surgery were friendly and put me at ease. It is a nerve wracking thing to go through an op but the staff were so nice. Mr Ertan has got a great team around him. On the day of the operation everything went smoothly to plan, there was no delay or holdups, I had another consultation with Mr Ertan who confirmed what was going to be done and that I was still happy to proceed. I was prepped for the procedure, I met with the anaesthetist who again was really nice and put me at ease explaining his role. After the procedure I woke up with the nurse by my side making sure I was OK and checking on me, I was able to stay in the clinic until I was ready to leave and was not rushed at all. I was well looked after from the start to the point when I was discharged. Post operation I was staying at a local hotel it was so close there was no point in even getting a taxi and I was able to walk back where my partner was waiting for me. I was expecting a lot of bruising to both my eyes but there was very little if any by the time the cast came off after 7 days, I am now at the two week post operation point and it is healing well with no outwardly visible bruising or scaring. The next milestone is a checkup at the 6 week point with my surgeon. If you're thinking of having something like this done I would highly recommend getting in touch with Centre for Surgery.
