Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Reshaping)

Excess skin can be surgically removed from your upper eyelids to give your skin a less wrinkled and more youthful appearance.

The procedure typically involves making a small cut (incision) in the fold of the eyelid (for the upper lid).  The surgery is performed under local anaesthetic as a day case procedure so that you will be able to go home the same day. You should take it easy post procedure to reduce swelling around the eyes and optimise wound healing.  You should be able to return to work within one week.
