Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Blepharoplasty is eyelid surgery that addresses excess skin on the upper lids and bags under the eyes. The aim is to move towards a more rested expression without exaggerating the gaze.

What is blepharoplasty and how is it done?
In upper-lid surgery, excess skin, and a small amount of tissue if needed, is removed through an incision hidden in the natural crease of the lid. In the lower lid, the tissues causing the bags are repositioned; incisions are usually concealed at the lash line or inside the lid.
Planning assesses your lid structure, brow position and facial proportions together. The goal is not to change your expression but to reduce the tired look.
- Incisions planned into the natural crease
- Upper and lower lids assessed separately
- A measured approach that preserves your expression
Hidden incision vs a wider, visible incision
The right method depends on the person. The clear answer comes at the examination.
Is blepharoplasty right for you?
It is considered for people with upper-lid drooping, excess skin that narrows the field of vision, or visible lower-lid bags. Eye health and general medical history are reviewed at the examination; the clear answer comes from the surgeon's assessment.
- Excess skin or drooping in the upper lid
- Visible bags under the eyes
- General fitness and realistic expectations
