SmoothEye

SmoothEye, or non surgical blepharoplasty, is a highly effective laser treatment performed at Centre for Surgery in London.

SmoothEye is an innovative new technology using the Fotona laser which precisely delivers non-ablative laser energy to the deeper eyelid tissues to tighten excess skin without the requirement for invasive eyelid surgery also known as a blepharoplasty. SmoothEye is an excellent option for individuals not ready for eyelid surgery or for those who are not suitable for a surgical blepharoplasty.

Our eyes are often one of the more prominent areas which can show signs of ageing. It can also be one of the more difficult areas to treat. Surgery can involve a long recovery period, while other non-surgical procedures may not deliver the desired results. The solution is SmoothEye. SmoothEye treatment using the amazing Fotona SP Dynamis is a powerful laser eyelid tightening technique that addresses skin laxity of the periocular region.

Centre for Surgery uses Fotona’s SmoothEye treatment, which softens the appearance of wrinkles, tightening the skin and making it look more youthful. SmoothEye can also be combined with Fotona 4D for a full face, neck and eyelid rejuvenation.

If you have more pronounced features of aging, the option of a surgical blepharoplasty is also available.

All our doctors are on the GMC specialist register. Our London clinic at 106 Crawford Street was recently inspected and rated as good across all 5 domains.

Amazing, exceptional, professional and quality service! From the initial request for more information until the day of procedure and after the procedure. The constant calls and emails from the team made me feel as if I was relevant and showed me that my business was important to them. Dr. Mitakos, Carolyn, Samira and Natalie (recovery nurse) OUTSTANDING, OUTSTANDING, OUTSTANDING!!! Dr. Mitakos was thorough and made sure to be honest about the procedure and my results. It’s been a week post-op and I’m in love! Even with swelling in some areas!! I couldn’t have asked for a better Dr. He was very professional, kind and genuine. Carolyn, Samira and Natalie are angel sent! They were so kind, caring and ensured that I was well taken care of days leading up to the surgery, on the day of surgery and during recovery. I would recommend Centre for Surgery to anyone who wants to get surgery to feel better about themselves.

Recommend highly!! Always wanted a breast augmentation and never had the nerve to go through with it. Until i got Recommended center for surgery and spoke to carolyn and the ball got rolling 🙂 meeting dr tillo for a couple consultation made me certain i wanted it and i would be in great hands. The day of the surgery i was nervous but having such a great support team from the nurses and care team was a massive relaxation. And the aftercare is amazing. They check in with you every over day and i could contact them if needed for anything. I could name so many great people that helped me throughout my journey but dr tillo is amazing with what he does. And carolyn was and still is the best person to organise and help me with everything throughtout.

Really wonderful experience, Jasmin the receptionist was very helpful and sweet she assisted me throughout my appointments, bookings and payment. The day of my surgery I was extremely nervous and very anxious, I was booked in for upper eyelid surgery ( Blepharoplasty ) First I was met with the lovely Gregory who I could not have asked for such a lovely kind person to be the Surgeons right hand man, he made me feel at ease straight away and as comfortable as possible. I then met my Surgeon Dr Ertan Erel who was also wonderful ( I had previously met him 2 weeks before for my consultation) I had a instant liking to him and felt comfortable with him performing the procedure on me. I had the treatment with Local anesthetic so I was fully awake and aware of what was going on, again I was extremely nervous and felt like I was having a small mini panic attack when we started but both Dr Ertan Erel and his assistant Gregory both made me feel at ease and as relaxed as they possibly could, we even had some 80s music on that helped to calm me down, Gregory was holding my hand the majority of the time and was having a chat with me that made me feel so relaxed, I could not have asked for 2 lovely men to have worked on me. Both the Surgeon and his assistant are as important as each other when you have a very nervous patient like myself. I have not had any complications since leaving the clinic and so far I am really so happy I can already see the amazing results. Dr Ertan returned my call back two days later to make sure everything was ok and how I was getting on ( that was very reassuring ) Very exited to get my stitches out in a few days. I could not give less than 5 stars so thank you very much. I will definitely be recommending. Verity.

Well where do I begin. So I am 6week post surgery and I couldn’t be happier with my results. I done endless research on the procedure I wanted doing and where is best in England and Centre for surgery was the strongest contender and I felt super confident in the reviews and before and after photos they have online. So my journey started when I emailed centre for surgery for more information about liposuction and fat transfer with Dr Antonios Mitsakos. I then was contacted by Yasmin, she called me for a chat about what I’m after and to discuss options etc. She was incredible with getting my consultation and day of surgery booked as soon as she could and was on the end of the phone with any questions you had any time of day. As a first point of call Yasmin set a very high standard for the company and I was confident in my choice. I went for my consultation with Dr Antonios Mitsakos to discuss the procedure in much more depth, he went though all the risks, told me all the information I needed, we looked at my body to see if it’s something he would be happy to do for me and went through all the aftercare I would need to do as well. We went through my medicals and talked about previous surgery I already had. He was so professional so informative that I literally wanted the surgery there and then. I left super happy and excited for my surgery date that was booked in. Before my surgery date I got phone call to go through all the paperwork and guidelines I had to follow and all the prep I needed to do before hand, I was told what garments were best to purchase and all the necessary bits I needed to by prior to the day. That support team were amazing and also answered any questions I had. So the day of my Surgery came and I was so calm but excited because I felt my care already had been great so I knew I was in safe hands. I had my nurse meet me to go through all medicals again, she helped me get prepared and dressed for the op and get everything ready. I then met my anaesthetist to also went through my medicals and asked all the relevant questions, gave me my pre meds and told me what he will be doing. I was super confident and he was very reassuring. Then Dr Antonios Mitsakos had my final chat before surgery checking everything through with me, confirming what he was going to do and where he was removing the unwanted fat and where he was going to transfer it too. He made me feel super comfortable and confident that I was in the right hands. I went into that theatre room a woman so unhappy with her body and when I woke up I was a new woman physically and mentally. Every single day for 2 weeks after my op I had a phone call to check in that I was doing ok and if I have any issues or concerns. The support team were absolutely amazing. I’ve just had my 6 week post op appointment with Dr Antonios, he again showed me my before photos and took new after photos and honestly the results are unreal. He has given me the body confidence I have never ever had and I can’t thank him enough for his amazing skills and the transformation he has achieved. Thankyou so much to all of you that looked after me though out this whole procedure and a special Thankyou to Dr Antonios for changing my confidence, my body and my life. I’ll be back again for more.

I recently had surgery here and would definitely recommend, from initial contact from Carolyn to the aftercare I received was exceptional, Carolyn was very helpful and informative and answered all my questions - even the silly ones late at night! Dr Tillo was very knowledgable, professional and welcoming at the same time and put me at ease about the procedure, it’s still early but so far I’m pleased with the results

Sagging eyelids are one of the most obvious signs of the ageing process in both men and women. The presence of sagging eyelids can be a source of psychological distress especially when the perception exists that you feel you look older than ones actual age. Droopy eyelids can also lead to a sad or angry looking appearance which may be remarked upon by others. In more severe cases of eyelid sagging, functional disturbance can result from impairment to vision from eyelids which droop too low.

Sagging eyelids can be caused by a number of factors but the most significant factor is the ageing process which exerts its effects through a loss of tissue firmness. In the eyelid region, the levator muscle acts to elevate the eyelid but with ageing the levator muscle begins to thin out which leads to stretching of the overlying skin and deeper fat pockets begin to herniate outwards.

Droopy eyelids are more likely to happen in some individuals as they may have a hereditary link to forming droopy eyelids and this can affect both eyelids equally or one eyelid may be affected more than the other. Other extrinsic factors which can contribute to eyelid sagging or drooping include chronic sunlight exposure.

Laser eyelid tightening or eyelid surgery?

Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery is ideal for the removal of redundant skin of the eyelid, eye bag removal and correction of puffy eyelids in patients who significant features of ageing in the eye region. Although blepharoplasty is a definitive treatment with the ability to take years off your appearance, it comes at the expense of incisions, scars, risks and required downtime that comes with surgery. SmoothEye laser eyelid tightening is a non invasive treatment that has the ability to tighten mild to moderate degrees of loose eyelid skin. SmoothEye is an excellent alternative to eyelid surgery for those who are not yet comfortable with the idea of invasive surgery. With SmoothEye, there are no incisions or scars and between 4-6 sessions can achieve impressive results. The ideal treatment depends on a number of factors including the results you would like to attain, whether you are willing to commit to an extended course of treatments and whether you can commit to a period of downtime after eyelid surgery.

As we naturally age, the production of collagen reduces and the signs of ageing increases. SmoothEye works to stimulate the production of collagen around the eyes. This can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and increase skin laxity, leaving you with a more rejuvenated and refreshed appearance. Using laser ensures the results will continue to improve over time as the collagen production continues. Both upper and lower eyelids can be treated in the same sitting.

SmoothEye Vs PLEXR plasma skin tightening

Recently, new plasma skin resurfacing (PSR) aesthetic systems of which the most popular one, PLexR, has gained a lot of interest due to their non-ablative skin resurfacing effects in the eyelid region. Both SmoothEye and PLEXR rely on rapid non-ablative heating of the skin surface only, as neither Smooth mode Erbium YAG laser nor PLEXR can penetrate deeper into the skin. New production of collagen is thus achieved by the same process of heat generation into the deeper layer of skin tissues. While the Erbium YAG SmoothEye treatment and PLEXR techniques are similar in terms of their effect on the skin tissue, there are some key advantages of using the Erbium YAG laser for eyelid skin tightening.

Advantages of SmoothEye laser eyelid tightening:

• The Erbium YAG SMOOTH mode technique allows the use of much larger spotsizes (up to 14mm) leading to much faster treatment. PLEXR takes much longer to perform due its very small spot sizes of 2-3mm.
• There is more controlled delivery of energy with Erbium YAG laser handpieces with generation of higher peak powers compared to the relatively under powered PLEXR device (PLEXR is portable in nature).
• The SMOOTH mode of the Fotona SP Dynamis is just one of several skin resurfacing options of our powerful Erbium YAG laser system while PLEXR systems can be used only for a limited range of treatments. Our laser costs in excess of £120k compared with £10k for the PLEXR system.

SmoothEye is a safe and effective treatment and patients can expect to see instant results including a reduction in lines wrinkles in the eye region fatter just 3 sessions. The treated areas will continue to improve over the course of 3 months after the last SmoothEye treatment. Your practitioner will assess you regularly to monitor your results to ensure you get the very best results possible.

I had an osteoma removed from my forehead with Dr Omar Tillo and I couldn’t have asked for a better result! I had been researching for a long time before deciding to go ahead with the procedure as I knew I didn’t want to swap a bump on my forehead with a scar. Dr Omar Tillo was able to successfully and skilfully remove the osteoma endoscopically and I was left with a very small inconspicuous scar, less than 1cm, hidden nicely behind my hairline. I couldn’t be happier with the end result. All the staff at Centre for Surgery were brilliant. Carolyn, my patient co-ordinator was very helpful, patient and always had time to answer my questions. On the day of the procedure, Dr Omar Tillo and Gregory were amazing! They were very professional and made me feel at complete ease. I experienced very little discomfort during and after the procedure. The whole thing was a breeze and my only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner. The after care was also amazing and I healed very quickly. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr Omar Tillo, Carolyn, Gregory and all the staff at Centre for Surgery. I would highly recommend Dr Omar Tillo and Centre for Surgery!

You will be a suitable candidate if you are showing signs of ageing around the eyes and are wishing to improve your aesthetic appearance.

You will need to have realistic expectations about what the procedure can achieve.

Before undergoing SmoothEye you will need to have a consultation with one of our surgeons. They will be able to assess whether or not you are considered a suitable candidate for this procedure or whether there are alternative options which are better suited for you.

SmoothEye is performed as a day procedure. You will be able to return back to your usual daily routine straight after the procedure.

SmoothEye uses Fotona’s SP Dynamis laser with the Er:YAG wavelength in SMOOTH mode.

The laser is used to heat the deeper layers of the skin, which increases the production of collagen. Over time, this reduces the appearance of wrinkles.

Prior to undergoing laser treatment, a topical anaesthetic may be applied to reduce any discomfort.

You may wish to combine this treatment with other non-surgical procedures to achieve the best results.

This is a non-invasive procedure, so there is no downtime. You will be able to resume your usual activities straight away. You may experience some mild redness of the skin after the procedure, which will settle after the first few days. It may take a few weeks to start seeing results as the collagen is stimulated. Results will continue to improve over time. You may wish to avoid excess sun and heat exposure for seven to 10 days to ensure you can achieve the best results.
