Eyelid surgery may be suitable for individuals who:
- Have drooping or sagging upper eyelids
- Experience puffiness or bags under the eyes
- Have excess eyelid skin affecting vision
- Want a more youthful, rested appearance

Eyelid surgery is typically performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on the case.
The procedure involves: Precise incisions along natural eyelid lines, removal or repositioning of excess skin and fat, and careful suturing to minimise visible scarring
Recovery & Results
- Mild swelling and bruising are expected for 1–2 weeks
- Most patients return to normal activities within 7–10 days
- Final results become visible as healing progresses
- Scars are minimal and well-concealed
Risks & Considerations
As with any surgical procedure, eyelid surgery carries potential risks, including:
- Swelling and bruising
- Temporary dryness or irritation
- Infection (rare)
- Asymmetry (uncommon when performed by an experienced surgeon)

CONDITIONS
Blepharoplasty can address a range of functional and aesthetic concerns, including:
Our brows start to drop with age as muscles around the eye lose tone and elasticity, resulting in a tired and droopy look.
Puffy eyes and dark circles can appear under the eyes due to ageing, stress, fatigue, genetics or other skin characteristics. In ageing, this condition is due to the weakening of tissues around the eye area, which causes the movement of fat into the lower eyelids for support.
