Is blepharoplasty painful?

Most patients report minimal discomfort, which is usually well controlled with simple pain relief.

How long do results last?

Results are long-lasting, although the natural ageing process continues.

What Is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a procedure designed to improve the appearance and function of the upper and lower eyelids.

As we age, the delicate tissues around the eyes naturally lose elasticity. Excess skin, weakened muscles and protruding fat can lead to hooded upper eyelids, under-eye bags and a tired or aged appearance. In some cases, excess upper eyelid skin may even interfere with vision.

Blepharoplasty removes or repositions excess skin and fat to create a smoother, more refreshed appearance while maintaining natural facial expression.

At Genesis Clinic, all eyelid procedures are performed by specialist consultant oculoplastic surgeons with advanced training in eyelid and periocular surgery.

Conditions Blepharoplasty Aim Treat

Blepharoplasty may be suitable for patients experiencing:

Hooded upper eyelids
Excess upper eyelid skin
Under-eye bags
Puffiness beneath the eyes
Loose or sagging eyelid skin
A tired or aged appearance
Reduced peripheral vision caused by heavy eyelids

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Upper blepharoplasty focuses on removing excess skin and, where appropriate, excess fat from the upper eyelids.

Patients commonly seek treatment because their eyelids appear heavy, droopy or hooded. In addition to cosmetic improvement, upper blepharoplasty can improve visual function when excess skin obstructs the upper field of vision.

Benefits may include:

Brighter, more open eyes
Improved eyelid contour
Reduced heaviness
Improved peripheral vision
A refreshed appearance

Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Lower blepharoplasty addresses under-eye bags, puffiness and excess skin beneath the eyes.

Depending on individual anatomy, surgery may involve repositioning fat, removing excess tissue or tightening the lower eyelid.

The goal is not to change the appearance dramatically but to restore a smoother, more rested appearance.

Benefits may include:

Reduced eye bags
Improved lower eyelid contour
Less puffiness
A more youthful appearance

Hooded Eyelid Surgery

Hooded eyelids occur when excess skin folds over the natural eyelid crease.

Many patients describe looking tired, angry or older than they feel. Severe hooding can also make applying makeup difficult and interfere with vision.

Upper blepharoplasty is one of the most effective treatments for hooded eyelids and can significantly improve both appearance and comfort.
