WHAT IS BLEPHAROPLASTY (UPPER AND LOWER)?

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle. The treatment helps reduce droopy upper eyelids, under-eye bags, and puffiness, creating a more refreshed, youthful, and alert appearance. It can also improve vision in cases where excess upper eyelid skin obstructs the field of view. At London Harley Street Clinics, our surgeons use precise eyelid techniques to deliver natural-looking rejuvenation while maintaining the natural shape and expression of the eyes.

Treatment Process

Blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia and usually takes 1–2 hours. It includes:

Your eyelid structure, skin quality, and aesthetic goals are carefully assessed to create a personalised surgical plan.

 

Local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia ensures comfort throughout the procedure.

Excess skin and sometimes small amounts of fat are removed from the upper eyelids to lift and open the eye area.

 

Fat deposits and excess skin are reduced or repositioned to smooth under-eye bags and improve contour.

 

Fine sutures are used to close incisions, which are usually placed in natural eyelid creases or inside the lower lid for minimal visible scarring.

The Smooth Eye Laser treatment was fantastic! It completely rejuvenated my under-eye area, making me look well-rested and youthful. The procedure was quick, painless, and the results are simply amazing. Highly recommend it for anyone dealing with fine lines or sagging skin around the eyes.

Results are long-lasting, often for many years, although natural ageing continues.

Incisions are placed in natural eyelid creases or inside the eyelid, making scars minimally visible.

Most patients experience mild discomfort rather than significant pain during recovery.

Initial improvement is visible after swelling reduces, with final results typically seen within a few weeks.

Our surgeons specialise in precise eyelid rejuvenation techniques that restore a natural, refreshed appearance while maintaining eye expression and facial harmony.
