Blepharoplasty

Eyelid surgery removes or repositions excess skin and fat on the upper lids, lower lids, or both. For Asian patients it also covers double-eyelid creation, where the goal is a crease that suits your face rather than a Western template.

Who this helps

• ✦Upper lids that feel heavy or hood the lash line
• ✦Under-eye bags that persist regardless of sleep
• ✦A field of vision partly blocked by upper lid skin
• ✦Creating or refining a double eyelid crease

How it works

1. 1Assessment of lid position, skin quality, and how much support the brow gives
2. 2Marking and planning while you are sitting upright
3. 3Surgery under local anaesthesia with sedation, in most cases
4. 4Suture removal at about one week
