Upper Eyelid Correction (Blepharoplasty)

Upper-eyelid correction is a minor surgical procedure that removes excess, drooping skin from the upper eyelids, which can make the eyes look tired or heavy and in some cases affect the field of vision. Performed under local anaesthetic, it aims to give a more open, refreshed eye appearance. At Biogenica it is offered alongside the clinic's non-surgical treatments for patients whose concern is loose upper-lid skin rather than fine lines.

Upper blepharoplasty addresses surplus skin — and sometimes small fat pockets — on the upper eyelids that develops with age and can make the eyes look heavy, tired or hooded, occasionally even encroaching on the upper field of vision. The procedure removes the excess skin through a carefully placed incision that follows the natural eyelid crease, so the resulting line is well concealed once healed, giving a more open and rested eye appearance in keeping with the clinic's natural-results philosophy. At Biogenica the correction is carried out as a minor surgical procedure under local anaesthetic. After a thorough assessment and marking, the excess skin is removed and the incision closed with fine sutures; the appointment itself is relatively short. Expect some swelling and bruising around the eyes for the first one to two weeks, with sutures typically removed after about a week and final results settling over the following weeks to months as the fine scar matures and fades. Clear pre- and post-operative guidance is given, including cold compresses, activity restrictions and sun protection. The procedure is suited to adults bothered by loose, drooping upper-eyelid skin rather than surface wrinkling. Suitability, the surgical plan, risks and any contraindications — including eye-health and medical-history factors — are discussed in detail at consultation, and the final price is confirmed after assessment.
