Blepharoplasty commonly referred to as eyelid or eyebrow surgery is a simple surgical procedure designed to reduce drooping, remove eye bags, tighten any creases and folds in the upper or lower eyelids, and lift skin surrounding the eyes. There are two main types of Blepharoplasty; upper and lower. Upper eyelid surgery serves to reposition or remove excess skin and tissue around the eyelids and can also correct upper eyelid folds that come over the eye (hooded eyelids). A small incision on the crease of the lid means that the procedure is relatively quick, and the scar is hidden discretely to avoid tell tale signs of surgery. Lower eyelid surgery, sometimes known as eye bag removal, is a simple, safe and quick procedure to remove excess fat and skin from around the eye.
Performed in isolation or in conjunction with surgeries such as face-lifts, neck lift and brow lift, eyelid surgery is a popular heavy eyelid treatment carried out under local anaesthetic as a day case.
Far from the excessive amounts of downtime many associate with surgery, stitches are removed just 4 days after the surgery is undertaken, and on average swelling and bruising subsides after 10 days.
