Patients can typically have an Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty performed and go home the same day.

The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic or sedation (you are asleep but breathe for yourself) or the patient can choose to be asleep with a general anaesthetic.

The incision is done on the upper eyelid in a crease of the lid, extending towards the crow’s feet on the outer side around the eye.

The incision scar once healed is hidden in a crease of the skin.

This allows the muscle and fat below and optimise the result.

The result of upper eyelid surgery can be optimised with fat grafting for patients with hollowness which can be performed at a second stage.
