Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes or repositions excess skin and fat around the eyes to refresh a tired or heavy appearance. The clinic offers upper-eyelid surgery to address hooding, lower-eyelid surgery for under-eye bags, or a combined approach. Performed by a doctor following consultation, it is suited to adults troubled by sagging eyelid skin or puffiness that makes them look tired.

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a minor surgical procedure that addresses excess skin, muscle laxity and fat around the eyes — features that can make the face look tired or older and, in some cases of heavy upper lids, affect the field of vision. Upper-eyelid surgery removes a precise strip of redundant skin (and sometimes a small amount of fat) from the upper lid to reduce hooding, while lower-eyelid surgery targets under-eye bags by removing or repositioning fat and tightening the skin. At Beauty Care Clinic the procedure is performed by a doctor following a consultation that assesses the eyelids, discusses what is realistically achievable and reviews your medical history and suitability. It is typically carried out under local anaesthetic, with fine sutures placed in the natural creases of the eyelid so that scars are well concealed once healed. Some swelling and bruising around the eyes is normal in the first one to two weeks, and the clinic provides aftercare instructions covering wound care, activity and follow-up. Results are associated with a more open, rested eye appearance and are generally long-lasting. A combined upper-and-lower procedure can address both areas in one plan. As with any surgery, there are risks and contraindications, which the doctor explains in full beforehand; the treatment is for adults in good general health troubled by sagging eyelid skin or under-eye puffiness.
