Blepharoplasty — opening up the eyes
Cosmetic surgery to remove excess eyelid skin — and, where needed, excess fat — for a younger, more rested and more open look.
What the surgery involves
Upper blepharoplasty corrects hooded eyelids by removing the excess skin and, where needed, a small amount of fat. The incision is placed in the natural crease of the eyelid, so the scar is as inconspicuous as possible. It is carried out under local anaesthetic, takes about 60 to 90 minutes, and you go home the same day.
What it gives you
- A younger-looking eye area, and hooded lids corrected
- More open eyes and a more rested appearance
- Natural, lasting results
- Fine scars, well hidden
If you are travelling for this, allow ten days in the country or plan to have the sutures removed by a doctor at home — we will set that out clearly at your consultation rather than leave you to work it out at the airport.

The incision sits in the natural crease of the upper eyelid, so the scar is discreet and becomes hard to see over time. It settles fully over two to six months.
