Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Blepharoplasty may be considered for individuals who experience:

• Loose upper eyelid skin that creates folds or alters eyelids

• Under-eye fat deposits or skin laxity

• Excess upper eyelid skin that may cause heaviness or visual obstruction

• Lower eyelids that expose more of the eye surface

• Noticeable asymmetry between the upper or lower eyelids

Your practitioner will provide individual advice based on a thorough medical assessment to determine whether blepharoplasty is suitable for you.

Blepharoplasty: What to Expect 

Initial Consultation:

Your consultation involves a thorough medical assessment of your concerns, medical history, and suitability. Your practitioner will examine your eyelids, review your medical history, and outline possible approaches, expected results, and potential risks.

Preparation:

If surgery is recommended, you will receive detailed pre-operative instructions, including information on medications, fasting, and recovery arrangements. These steps support safe preparation and recovery.

Procedure:

Blepharoplasty is performed under anaesthesia by a registered medical practitioner. The technique and incision placement depend on individual anatomy and whether the upper or lower eyelids are being treated. Your practitioner will explain the surgical plan in detail before the procedure. 

Recovery & Aftercare:

After surgery, swelling, bruising, and temporary tightness around the eyes are common. Your practitioner will provide guidance on wound care, activity restrictions, and pain management. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor healing and recovery..

Recovery experiences and outcomes vary for each individual. Your practitioner will discuss what to expect and how to support your recovery during consultation.
