About the procedure
Blepharoplasty is surgery on the upper or lower eyelids. Depending on the anatomy, it may remove or reposition tissues contributing to excess skin or under-eye bags.
Your consultation
The surgeon examines the eyelids and discusses your concern. Brow position, eyelid function, dry eyes and previous surgery may influence the choice of treatment.
What to expect
- Medical assessment, discussion of options and agreement on a plan.
- Correction of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both, according to the agreed plan.
- Aftercare and follow-up adapted to the healing process.
Recovery and follow-up
Swelling and bruising change during healing. The doctor explains local care, follow-up and when to resume activities involving the eye area.
What to consider
Surgery does not address every type of dark circle or wrinkle. Scarring, asymmetry, dry eyes and changes in eyelid position need discussion before the operation.

Are both upper and lower eyelids always treated?
No. The plan may involve the upper lids, lower lids or both, depending on the clinical assessment.
When can the result be assessed?
As healing progresses and swelling settles. Photographs from the early weeks show a stage of recovery rather than the settled appearance.
Discuss the cost before treatment.
Ask for an estimate for your case and clarify what is included: consultations, the procedure, investigations and follow-up visits. The plan and final cost are agreed after assessment.
