Blepharoplasty
Overview
Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is performed to address excess upper or lower eyelid skin and, in selected cases, fatty tissue that may contribute to eyelid heaviness or under‑eye fullness.
In some patients, upper eyelid skin can contribute to visual field obstruction.
A consultation is required to confirm suitability, discuss scarring, risks, and alternatives.

About This Procedure
Eyelid surgery involves planned incisions to remove or reposition tissue.
Upper eyelid scars are usually placed in the natural eyelid crease; lower eyelid approaches vary depending on anatomy.
Scarring is permanent, and the visibility of scars varies.
Outcomes depend on anatomy, tissue quality, and healing.

Ideal Candidate
A suitable candidate is generally a healthy adult with eyelid changes that may be addressed surgically, who understands that outcomes and scarring vary and that revision surgery can be required in some cases. Your surgeon will discuss whether an eye specialist assessment is recommended for your circumstances.
You May Be a Good Candidate If
You may be a good candidate if you:
- You have eyelid heaviness or excess skin that does not improve with non‑surgical measures.
- You have upper eyelid skin redundancy and/or lower‑lid changes that you would like assessed.
- You are willing to accept scars and recovery time.
- You have realistic expectations about achievable change.
Who Should Not Undergo This Procedure
- Uncontrolled medical conditions increasing surgical risk.
- Active eye infection or certain untreated eye surface conditions (as determined by assessment).
- Expectation of a scar‑free or guaranteed outcome.
Surgical Techniques & Approaches
- Upper blepharoplasty: incision typically in the eyelid crease to remove/reposition tissue.
- Lower blepharoplasty: approach may be transconjunctival (inside eyelid) or subciliary (beneath lashes), depending on anatomy.
- Adjunct procedures (selected cases): may include skin pinch or other options depending on goals and safety.
Anesthesia
Often performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia depending on extent and patient factors. Options are discussed during consultation.
Pre-Operative Preparation
- Pre‑operative eye/health assessment as advised, including medication review for bleeding risk.
- Medication and supplement review, including anything that can increase bleeding risk (as advised).
- Nicotine cessation for the recommended period before and after treatment/surgery (if applicable).
- Planning time off work, transport, and at-home support (where relevant).
- Fasting instructions prior to anaesthesia (if applicable).
- Pre-operative assessments/tests as advised by your treating team.
Recovery Process
Recovery varies. Swelling, bruising, temporary dryness/watery eyes, and tightness are common early. Vision may be temporarily blurry. Follow‑up is required to monitor healing.

Recovery Milestones
Swelling and bruising are common early and generally reduce over 1–2 weeks, but timelines vary. Dryness, tightness, or temporary changes in sensation can occur. Scars continue to mature over months and may remain visible. Risks can include bleeding, infection, scarring, asymmetry, eyelid malposition, dry eye symptoms, vision changes (rare), and the possibility of revision surgery. Your surgeon will provide written aftercare instructions and review you during follow‑up.
Assessing outcome: swelling can take weeks to months; scars mature over many months.
