What Is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the eyelids. It primarily targets the contours of the lower and upper eyelids.

Blepharoplasty can be both a cosmetic and a medical procedure. It enhances your appearance and boost your confidence by giving you a more youthful and refreshed look. For some, it’s also medically necessary – for instance, when droopy eyelids significantly reduce their field of vision.

The procedure helps reduce the look of wrinkles, decrease bagginess from lower eyelids, and restore the natural contour of the upper eyelid, which can be obscured as skin ages. It is generally a safe and effective aesthetic treatment, which, in the right hands, will significantly improve appearance with a low-risk profile.

With years of specialised experience in oculoplastic surgery, The Ezra Clinic is led by highly skilled surgeons who have mastered both the artistry and science of blepharoplasty. Each procedure is carefully tailored to the individual, ensuring a flawless blend of aesthetic enhancement and functional improvement, all within a caring, patient-centred environment.

Here you can see an example, how transformative Blepharoplasty can be:

How do Ageing Changes Occur Around the Eyes?

Over time, the elastic fibres within the skin diminish, leading to a loss of resilience and the appearance of sagging skin. This is compounded by changes in the underlying orbicularis oculi muscle, which loses tone and contributes to the appearance of redundant muscle bulk.

One of the more pronounced effects of ageing around the eyes involves the forward movement of fat, generally contained by the orbital septum. As this septum weakens with age, the fat herniates forward, creating noticeable bulges often seen in the upper eyelids and forming bags under the eyes.

As we age, the midface area also descends. This descent disrupts the smooth contour between the lower eyelid and the cheek. This separation dramatically ages your appearance, alongside the loss of facial volume, which leads to lines, hollows, and sometimes a gaunt look.

Our treatments are designed to address these changes comprehensively, ensuring that your outer vibrancy matches your inner vitality. With our expert team and commitment to care, you can trust us to refresh and revitalise your look in a way that feels both natural and refined.

Types of Eyelid Surgery

The Ezra Clinic offers specialised eyelid surgery options, including upper and lower eyelid surgery, to address the unique needs of our patients.

Upper Eyelid Surgery

Upper eyelid surgery, or upper blepharoplasty, is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids. This procedure is perfect for those who feel their eyes look tired due to sagging skin that creates a hooded appearance. It can significantly improve the field of vision in cases where the drooping skin obscures sight.

As the best blepharoplasty surgeons in the UK, The Ezra Clinic’s specialists ensure the results are both natural and harmonious with your facial structure, enhancing your overall appearance.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Lower eyelid surgery, or lower blepharoplasty, focuses on eye bag removal and correcting under-eye bags that give a persistently tired look. This procedure often involves removing or repositioning fat to eliminate puffiness and reduce dark circles. Under-eye bag surgery ensures smooth transitions between the lower eyelid and the cheek, restoring a youthful contour to the eye area.

Why Undergo Eyelid Surgery?

Many of our patients come to us seeking relief from the ‘tired’ look, which is most commonly addressed through our bespoke blepharoplasty eyelid surgery. The heaviness of the eyelids and the under-eye bags contribute to a constantly exhausted appearance and mask your true vitality.

For individuals experiencing asymmetry in their eyelids, blepharoplasty offers a refined solution to achieve a balanced, harmonious look. This procedure enhances the eyelids’ functionality and symmetry, reflecting your inner liveliness.

Our clinic is also at the forefront of treating more complex conditions, such as Thyroid Eye Disease, with blepharoplasty. Our leading oculoplastic surgeons perform this highly specialised surgery with the utmost precision, ensuring that your eyes’ natural beauty and expression are restored. Every procedure at our clinic is performed with an expert touch and an empathetic understanding of your individual needs and expectations, ensuring outcomes that are not just seen but felt by our patients.

What to Expect From Your Procedure?

Before Blepharoplasty

If you’re having eyelid surgery under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, it’s essential to know the following:

On the day of the surgery

  • Fast for 7 hours before your procedure. This means no food, water, or gum during that time
  • You should cease smoking for a given period, agreed with your surgeon, before and after the procedure
  • Please arrive without any makeup or skincare products applied.
  • We also recommend arranging how you’ll get home after the procedure. For your comfort and care, please ensure a friend or family member accompanies you.

In the preceding two weeks

  • If you’re taking aspirin or other anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen or Voltarol, you’ll need to discontinue them for two weeks before surgery. If these medications are essential for managing heart conditions, our specialists will liaise with your cardiologist to ensure the safest approach.

Before your surgery, we will review your full medical history to ensure a smooth and personalised experience. This will include discussing any medications you’re taking, any known allergies, your smoking habits, and any previous surgeries.

Blepharoplasty Surgery

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty Procedure

The upper eyelid blepharoplasty procedure begins with precise markings to ensure the incisions are discreetly placed. Excess skin, muscle, and fat are then carefully removed or repositioned to fill any upper eyelid hollowness, thus restoring a youthful and vibrant appearance to your eyes. The procedure is completed with hidden dissolvable stitches that naturally absorb into the skin, leaving no need for suture removal.

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty Procedure

Lower eyelid surgery is a more intricate procedure aimed at correcting bags under the eyes and restoring smooth contours. This surgical procedure involves an incision just below the lash line, extending slightly beyond the corner of the eye.

Through this incision, excess tissue is removed or repositioned to achieve a more youthful look. For younger patients primarily concerned with fat bulges, our surgeons may opt for a transconjunctival approach, a ‘scarless’ technique performed inside the eyelid, which leaves no visible scarring.

Skin closure in lower eyelid surgery is achieved using removable sutures or a special surgical glue, depending on what best suits your case. The Ezra Clinic’s surgeons will advise you on which closure method is most appropriate for you, ensuring a seamless recovery and optimal aesthetic results.

After Blepharoplasty

Post-surgery, you may initially experience slightly blurred vision. This is due to applying a thick antibiotic ointment to protect the ocular surface from drying out. You will be asked to apply this ointment four times daily, both inside the eye and on the surgical wounds, to promote healing. We may prescribe artificial tear drops to help alleviate any dryness during recovery.

After your procedure, you will be able to get up and move around by the evening of the surgery or the following morning. It’s normal to experience some swelling and bruising, which varies significantly from patient to patient. Swelling and bruising will diminish within 1-2 weeks for upper eyelid surgery and 2-4 weeks for combined upper and lower eyelid procedures. Rest assured, these signs of recovery are temporary, and soon, it will not be noticeable that you have had surgery, leaving you looking alert, rejuvenated and revitalised.

Blepharoplasty Results

Following blepharoplasty, you can expect a significant reduction in drooping eyelids and under-eye bags, revealing a more rested and vibrant appearance. The contours of your eyelids will be smoother and more defined, giving your face a more refreshed and alert expression.

These changes enhance how you look and often how you feel, boosting confidence and restoring a sense of self-assuredness. The Ezra Clinic expert surgeons, renowned for their precision and attention to detail, are committed to achieving the finest outcomes that align with your aesthetic goals and natural facial symmetry, ensuring results that are both beautiful and lasting.

Typical Healing Process

A patient of ours kindly took daily photographs to document her healing process for upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty with midface lift. The amount of bruising and swelling is very variable between patients, but this offers a rough guide of what to expect. Often there is a small amount of residual swelling and bruising which can take several weeks to completely resolve.

BEFORE

In the first photo, prior to surgery, she has significant upper eyelid hooding with lower eyelid bags in combination with a deep hollow and midface descent.

DAY 7

There is some mild residual lower lid bruising and swelling which will take a few weeks to completely resolve.

FINAL

Photo taken at 8 weeks showing a smoother lower eyelid and no hooding of the upper lid. Note that there will always be some folds of skin in the upper lid which is natural and some irregularity of the lower lid.

Blepharoplasty Plus: Comprehensive treatment package

Blepharoplasty Plus at The Ezra Clinic goes beyond traditional eyelid lift surgery by incorporating advanced cosmetic surgery techniques to enhance the aesthetics of both the upper and lower eyelids. This comprehensive approach not only removes excess skin and excess fat but also addresses fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss, offering a more complete rejuvenation.

The Blepharoplasty Plus procedure at The Ezra Clinic may include the following enhancements:

Blepharoplasty Plus BoNT Injection

Used not only for softening crow’s feet and glabellar frown lines around the eyes but also for lifting the brow area. This helps in further reducing the appearance of excess skin and the effects of brow descent, providing a fresher look around the periocular region.

Blepharoplasty Plus Hyaluronic Acid Filler Injections

These fillers are expertly applied to smooth out deep lines around the eyes, complementing the results of the eyelid surgery.

Blepharoplasty Plus Skin Resurfacing

We also offer laser treatments and chemical peels that are perfect for tightening the skin and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. This is particularly beneficial when combined with transconjunctival ‘scarless’ eyelid surgery.

Blepharoplasty Plus Eyelash Lift

As part of the upper eyelid lift surgery, an eyelash lift can also be performed to enhance the eyes’ aesthetic. This can be achieved surgically through anterior lamellar repositioning or less invasively with a laser technique that tightens the skin at the eyelash base.

Blepharoplasty Plus Midface Lift

For those experiencing midface sagging, this procedure can effectively restore the smooth continuity between the cheek and the lower eyelid, enhancing the overall facial harmony.

Blepharoplasty Plus Fat Transfer

Utilising fat from your own body, usually the abdomen or thighs, this procedure involves a minimal liposuction technique. The fat is then purified and enriched with mesenchymal stem cells before being reinjected into the face using state-of-the-art ‘Microfat’ techniques. This method is excellent for restoring facial volume and improving skin quality.

Blepharoplasty Plus Platelet Rich Plasma Injections (PRP)

Often referred to as the ‘Vampire facelift’, PRP is an innovative procedure that enhances skin quality by using growth factor-rich blood plasma drawn from your arm and injected into the face.

At The Ezra Clinic, our approach to Blepharoplasty Plus is designed to ensure that every aspect of your facial aesthetics is addressed, leaving you with a naturally refreshed and revitalised appearance.

Blepharoplasty plus: Before and After

Blepharoplasty Plus Brow lift

Blepharoplasty Plus With Direct Brow Lift

This patient came to us with concerns about appearing overly tired and somewhat ‘sad’ look, primarily due to a combination of brow droop, under-eye bags, and midface descent, which added to the apparent excess skin on her upper eyelids. We proceeded with an upper and lower lid blepharoplasty, complemented by a midface elevation to harmoniously lift and refresh the face. Additionally, a lateral direct brow lift was performed to correct the sagging that an upper lid blepharoplasty alone might not address.

The outcome of these procedures is a beautifully natural enhancement, maintaining our patient’s inherent charm while significantly revitalising her facial features. The eyes now reveal a brighter, more alert look, seamlessly integrated with the elevated midface for an overall vibrant appearance. Three months post-surgery, the patient is thrilled with her transformation, feeling more confident and vibrant.

At The Ezra Clinic, such treatments are among our specialities, designed to deliver significant yet natural-looking results that reflect our commitment to excellence in cosmetic rejuvenation.

Bilateral Upper Lid Blepharoplasty With Direct Brow Lift

This patient came to us with significant hooding and overhang in the outer corners of her upper eyelids. A blepharoplasty alone would not have been sufficient to fully clear the skin, so a brow lift was also performed. She opted for a direct brow lift, which involves an incision just above the eyebrow.

Six weeks post-operation, the results were reviewed, showing almost no visible scarring. The direct brow lift proved to be a very effective procedure, not only elevating the eyebrows but also lifting the crow’s feet area and the upper part of the cheek. This has opened the lateral part of the eye, resulting in a marked aesthetic improvement.

Bilateral Upper Blepharoplasty And Direct Brow Lift

This patient presented with significant sagging skin affecting the upper eyelids. However, a blepharoplasty alone would not have fully addressed the issue, as there was also notable brow descent contributing to the heaviness of the upper eyelid area. While there are various techniques available for brow lifting, the extent of this patient’s brow droop required a direct brow lift to achieve the necessary lift.

A small incision is made just above the brow hairline during this procedure, and it usually heals well. The patient opted for a combined upper lid blepharoplasty and direct brow lift, resulting in an excellent, natural-looking outcome that restored a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Blepharoplasty Plus Midface lift

Bilateral lower lid blepharoplasty with mid face lift

This patient had significant asymmetry of the lower lid bags and dramatic hollowing. This patient had again, a tissue preservation blepharoplasty. No tissue was excised, only lifted, tightened and reorganised. She has had an excellent result of the procedure.

Bilateral Lower Lid Blepharoplasty With A Midface Lift

This patient had significant asymmetry of the lower lid bags and dramatic hollowing. This patient had again, a tissue preservation blepharoplasty. No tissue was excised, only lifted, tightened and reorganised. She has had an excellent result of the procedure.

white woman before and after Blepharoplasty Plus with Midface Lift

Lower Lid Blepharoplasty With Midface Lift

This distinguished patient came to us concerned about significant lower lid bags, a common issue exacerbated by cheek descent and volume loss in the tear trough and lateral cheek areas. In addressing her concerns, the focus was not just on removing the bags but on seamlessly integrating the lower lids with the rest of her face for a harmonious appearance.

We opted for a specialised “Tissue Preservation Blepharoplasty” combined with a midface lift. In this innovative approach, we repurposed the tissue from the bags to fill the hollows, adhering to our philosophy that all tissue is precious. Rather than removing tissue, we expertly reorganised, remodelled, and lifted it to enhance facial contours.

The midface lift was expertly adjusted to lift and enhance the fullness of the lateral cheek, restoring the face’s natural proportions with a natural approach. This case exemplifies the transformative potential of our ‘Blepharoplasty+’ procedures in achieving optimal results.

Photographs taken on the morning of the surgery and four months postoperatively show a striking improvement. The patient is absolutely delighted with her rejuvenated and vibrant appearance, reflecting the high standards of care and expertise at The Ezra Clinic.

Blepharoplasty Plus Fat Transfer

White woman before and after blepharoplasty plus

This lady presented with lower lid bags and noticeable midface volume loss. Her case was technically complex due to a negative vector eye configuration, which increased the risk of lower lid retraction following blepharoplasty. To address these concerns safely and effectively, she underwent both upper and lower lid blepharoplasty, combined with a midface lift to provide essential support to the lower lids.

Additionally, fat transfer was performed to smooth and enhance the contour between the eyelid and cheek, delivering a beautifully natural result. The patient was delighted with her refreshed and rejuvenated appearance, which restored her natural vibrancy without altering her distinctive features.

Bilateral Lower Lid Blepharoplasty With Mid Face Lift And Autologous Fat Transfer

This patient, in her early 30s, came to us concerned about a tired appearance around her eyes, caused by a combination of under-eye bags, significant hollowing, and cheek descent. She opted for lower lid blepharoplasty with midface elevation to address these issues, and also requested a more extensive fat transfer to enhance the lateral projection of her cheeks and reduce the prominence of her nasolabial fold—the deep groove running from the corner of the nose to the mouth.

The before and after images clearly illustrate how fat transfer can beautifully complement traditional blepharoplasty, delivering a dramatic improvement in her overall appearance. The result is a more youthful and refreshed look, achieved while maintaining her natural facial harmony.

Upper and Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Upper and Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty, Midface Lift & Fat Transfer

This patient had concerns about overhanging upper lid skin and lower lid bags. Examination revealed excess skin in both areas, along with orbital fat herniation. Midface descent had also caused a separation between the eyelid and cheek. The goal was a natural, refreshed look without drastic changes.

Lower eyelid blepharoplasty addressed the under-eye bags, while upper blepharoplasty eliminated the upper lid hooding. A midface lift restored the cheek, creating a smoother transition between the eyelid and cheek. Fat transfer re-volumised the cheeks, enhancing the natural contour and improving skin quality.

The patient was delighted with the results—a refreshed, natural appearance that removed the tired look while preserving her natural features, as seen in the before and after images.

Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty

woman with hazel eyes before and after blepharoplasty

Lower Lid Internal Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty

This patient underwent a lower lid internal approach blepharoplasty, a procedure that involves making incisions from the inside of the eyelids, thus leaving no visible scars. Initially, she presented with a tired and gaunt appearance, which has been resolved through this innovative technique.

The primary goal of the surgery was to address the under-eye bags by releasing the ligaments that constrain the fat compartments, allowing for the strategic repositioning and redistribution of the fat. This approach falls under ’tissue preservation’ blepharoplasty, which avoids excision and focuses instead on the redistribution, remodelling, and tightening of existing tissues.

Additionally, some cheek elevation was performed to further enhance the rejuvenating effects. The photographs taken two months post-surgery showcase a remarkable transformation, with a visibly refreshed and more youthful appearance that aligns seamlessly with her natural features.

Woman before and after lower lid blepharoplasty

Lower Lid Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty

This young woman, troubled by severe lower lid bags and noticeable skin discolouration, felt her appearance constantly looked exhausted. She underwent a scarless transconjunctival blepharoplasty, which delivered outstanding results. The lower lid contours were beautifully restored, and the discolouration significantly improved.

These images clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the posterior approach, showing how dark and discoloured lower eyelids can be transformed through blepharoplasty, achieving a more refreshed and natural look.

White woman before and after lower lid transconjunctival blepharoplasty

Lower Lid Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty

This young woman was concerned about significant under-eye bags that gave her a tired appearance. Additionally, she was troubled by reddish discolouration around the bags, a common issue. As no skin removal or tightening was necessary, a scarless internal transconjunctival blepharoplasty was performed, yielding highly effective results. The treatment successfully restored a refreshed and natural look, addressing both the bags and discolouration.

Blepharoplasty Plus Ptosis

white woman before and after upper lid blepharoplasty

Upper Lid Blepharoplasty With Ptosis Correction, Internal Browpexy And Tear Trough Filler Injections

This patient presented with ptosis, excess upper lid skin, and a low brow position, all contributing to a tired appearance. Additionally, the lower lid tear trough added to the overall look of fatigue. Achieving maximum improvement required ptosis correction to lift the lid margin, blepharoplasty to remove the excess skin, and brow elevation to open up the eyelid area. This combination successfully created a more open and refreshed eye configuration. Tear trough fillers further enhanced the result by addressing the hollows in the lower lids, providing a smoother and more rejuvenated appearance.

Revision Blepharoplasty

If you’re dissatisfied with the results of your previous blepharoplasty, revision blepharoplasty, is a specialised procedure intended for patients who seek further refinement or correction following a previous eyelid surgery. 

Revision blepharoplasty is more complex than the first procedure and can be carried out in several ways, depending on the complexity of the problem. This tailored approach is designed to address any concerns that may have arisen from the initial surgery, such as asymmetry, under-correction, over-correction, or other aesthetic and functional issues.

Revision blepharoplasty before and after

Why Consider Revision Blepharoplasty at The Ezra Clinic?

Revision blepharoplasty is often sought by patients who are dissatisfied with the outcomes of previous eyelid surgeries, particularly when not performed by specialist oculoplastic surgeons. Given the delicate nature of the eyelid area, a range of complications can emerge, from minor scarring to more severe issues like eyelid malposition, impacting both the look and functionality of the eyes.

Common reasons for opting for revision include:

Scarring

Sometimes, healing can lead to visible scars or bumps near the incision sites. Our tailored scar revision procedures effectively address and minimize these concerns.

Under Correction

If the initial surgery did not adequately address the original cosmetic concerns, resulting in puffiness or impaired vision, further refinement might be necessary.

Over Removal of Tissue

Excessive removal of skin or fat can lead to severe aesthetic and functional issues, such as lower eyelid retraction or an unnatural contour of the eyelids. This can manifest as increased scleral show or a hollow appearance under the eyes.

In cases where the eyelids appear sunken or hollow from excess fat removal, our clinic can restore a more youthful volume through targeted fillers or fat transfer techniques.

At The Ezra Clinic, our reputation for excellence in revision blepharoplasty stems from years of specialised expertise in correcting complex eyelid issues. Our team’s skill and experience in oculoplastic surgery ensure that each revision procedure is carefully tailored to restore both aesthetic harmony and functional integrity. We are dedicated to delivering natural-looking results, helping patients regain their confidence with care and precision.

Revision Blepharoplasty Procedure

The complexity of each revision surgery varies. Straightforward corrections involve excess skin removal, while more complex cases may require reconstructive techniques to restore both form and function to the eyelids. In cases of severe tissue removal, we might use advanced reconstructive materials like hard palate grafts to rebuild the eyelid’s structure. For issues primarily from excess skin removal, The Ezra Clinic offers alternatives like multiplane midface lifting to naturally enhance the eyelid area without resorting to skin grafts.

The pre-operative and post-operative care for revision blepharoplasty at The Ezra Clinic generally mirrors that of standard blepharoplasty. Each surgical approach is customised to address the unique challenges and corrections needed from previous surgeries, influencing the preparation and recovery steps. During your consultation, our consultants will outline the tailored pre-operative and post-operative guidelines that align with the specific needs of your revision surgery, ensuring optimal outcomes and a smooth recovery tailored to your circumstances.

Revision Blepharoplasty: Before and After

Revision Lower Lid Blepharoplasty and Midface Lift

This patient had previously undergone surgery elsewhere to address lower lid bags, but the results were unsatisfactory, and the bags remained. Revision lower lid blepharoplasty was performed to successfully remove the remaining bags. In addition, a midface lift was carried out to restore the cheek to its natural position, creating a smoother contour and eliminating the hollow areas for a more balanced and rejuvenated appearance.

Revision Surgery for Lower Lid Retraction and Scleral Show

This patient experienced significant lower lid retraction following poorly planned and overly aggressive lower lid blepharoplasty. This resulted in noticeable scleral show, poor eyelid closure, and chronic discomfort, as well as an unwanted change in appearance. He underwent lower lid septo-retractor recession with cadaveric alloderm implants and lateral canthoplasty. The procedure successfully restored his natural appearance, and he is delighted with the outcome.

Blepharoplasty FAQ

How Long Does It Take to See Natural Results After Blepharoplasty?

Recovery from blepharoplasty varies among individuals, but most patients begin to see their new, refreshed appearance emerge as the initial swelling and bruising subside—usually within two to four weeks after the surgery. It is common for the final, subtle refinements in swelling to resolve over several months.

How Should I Wash After Blepharoplasty?

Post-blepharoplasty, keeping the eye area clean and being gentle to avoid disturbing the healing tissues is essential. You may gently cleanse the area around your eyes with a soft, damp cloth, avoiding direct contact with the incisions. We advise against rubbing or applying pressure to the operated area. You may resume your usual facial washing routine but should use mild, unscented products and pat the area dry rather than rubbing it.

Will I Have a Bandage or Dressing After Eyelid Surgery?

Bandages are not usually required after blepharoplasty. However, in some cases, minimal dressings might be applied to support the healing area immediately following the procedure. Any dressings used are usually removed within a few days post-surgery during your follow-up visit at The Ezra Clinic.

How to Speed-Up Recovery After Blepharoplasty?

To enhance your recovery after blepharoplasty, adhere to a few key practices:

  • keep your head elevated, even while sleeping;
  • to reduce swelling; apply ice packs as recommended during the first 48 hours;
  • avoid strenuous activities, particularly those that may strain the eyes, for at least a week;
  • ensure you attend all follow-up appointments with your surgeon at the Ezra Clinic.Staying hydrated, maintaining a healthy diet rich in vitamins C and E, and avoiding smoking can significantly aid your healing process.

How long do Blepharoplasty Results Last?

The results of blepharoplasty are long-lasting and natural. The surgery is designed to improve the look of the eyelids, and most patients do not feel the need to undergo a second procedure. Of course, the natural ageing process continues, and the results vary between patients. Still, we find that most people are happy with the results of blepharoplasty which should last between 10 and 15 years.

What type of anaesthetic is used?

Upper eyelid surgery is performed under local anaesthesia, which can be administered with or without sedation, depending on your comfort level. For lower eyelid surgery, we generally recommend local anaesthesia with sedation to ensure maximum comfort, especially given the delicate nature of the work around this more sensitive area. Alternatively, general anaesthesia is available for those who prefer it, ensuring you are completely asleep throughout the procedure. When both upper and lower eyelid surgeries are being performed simultaneously, the general practice at the Ezra Clinic is using local anaesthesia with sedation to maximise patient comfort and minimise recovery time. However, we are fully prepared to conduct the surgery under general anaesthesia if you feel more at ease with that option.

How Long Will I Be Off from Work?

The time you may need off from work after blepharoplasty can vary depending on the nature of your job and the specifics of your surgery. Most patients find they are ready to return to office-based roles within a week to ten days. If your occupation involves physical exertion or exposure to dust and other irritants, taking a longer period off may be advisable. We recommend discussing your work requirements during your consultation at The Ezra Clinic so we can tailor our advice to suit your individual needs.

At What Age Should You Get a Blepharoplasty?

There is no definitive age for undergoing blepharoplasty, as the timing largely depends on individual needs and circumstances. Usually, patients consider eyelid surgery when they notice persistent signs of ageing, such as drooping eyelids or under-eye bags that make them appear tired, often from as early as their 30s or 40s. However, it is important that the patient is in good health and has realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery.

Are There Any Risks or Complications?

Like any surgical procedure, blepharoplasty carries certain risks and potential complications. At The Ezra Clinic, we ensure that you are well informed about all aspects of the procedure, including possible risks such as infection, reactions to anaesthesia, bleeding, and more rare concerns like temporary or, very rarely, permanent changes in vision. Other complications can include asymmetry in healing or scarring, as well as temporary double vision. Our expert surgeons use precise techniques to minimize these risks and provide comprehensive post-operative care to support a smooth recovery.

Does Blepharoplasty Surgery Leave Scars?

Blepharoplasty surgery involves making incisions in the creases of the upper eyelids and possibly along the lash lines of the lower lids, which means scars are an inevitable part of the surgery. However, these incisions are strategically placed to ensure the scars are well-concealed within the natural folds of the eyelid region. Over time, with proper care, these scars typically fade significantly and become barely noticeable. At The Ezra Clinic, our surgeons use advanced techniques that enhance the healing process and improve the aesthetic outcome, reducing the visibility of scars.
