Lower & Upper Eyelid Surgery in the UK
Get expert care to refresh and rejuvenate your eyes
What is Lower & Upper Eyelid surgery?
Lower & upper eyelid surgery, also known as lower & upper blepharoplasty, is a precise cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids. It helps reduce heaviness around the eyes, improve vision, and restore a more rested, youthful appearance. This surgery is ideal for people who feel their eyelids make them look tired or are experiencing drooping skin that may obstruct their sight.
If you want to feel more confident by enhancing your natural features without altering your expression, then lower & upper eyelid surgery from NovaForma Plastic Surgery could be the answer. We approach every procedure with care and precision.
Types of lower & upper eyelid surgical procedures
Lower & upper surgery can be adapted to your specific anatomy and goals. While the primary objective remains the same — removing excess skin or fat to rejuvenate the eye area — there are several techniques that may be used:
Standard upper blepharoplasty
This common method involves making an incision along the natural eyelid crease to remove excess skin and small pockets of fat, giving the upper eyelid a refreshed look.
Extended upper blepharoplasty
For individuals with lateral hooding, the incision may extend slightly beyond the outer corner of the eye, allowing for a more comprehensive correction.
Fat removal
For patients experiencing puffiness, small pockets of fat may be removed to smooth the contour of the upper eyelid.
During your consultation
Dr. Naghmeh Naderi will assess your eye shape, skin condition, and desired outcome to recommend the most suitable technique.
What to expect from our lower & upper eyelid surgery in the UK
Before surgery
During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history, conduct an eye examination, and discuss your goals for the surgery. To confirm you’re a suitable candidate, we may recommend an eye test.
The procedure
Lower & upper eyelid surgery typically takes one to two hours and is usually performed under local anaesthetic. Your surgeon will make a precise incision along the natural crease of your eyelid to remove skin and reposition fat or muscle as needed. Stitches are generally removed within five to seven days.
Recovery
Most patients can go home on the same day as the surgery. Swelling and bruising are common during the first week, and you’ll be advised to sleep with your head elevated to minimise discomfort. You may also need to use prescribed eye drops for a few days. The majority of patients resume normal activities within two weeks.
