Changes in the appearance of the eyes are one of the most common concerns associated with ageing. Loose eyelid skin, puffiness, and under-eye bags can all contribute to a tired or heavy look, even when you feel well-rested. If you’re looking to restore definition and reduce signs of eyelid ageing, blepharoplasty in London may offer a long-lasting surgical solution.
This procedure, also known as eyelid surgery, is designed to address concerns affecting the upper or lower eyelids. Whether your goal is to remove excess skin, reduce fat pockets, or improve the contours around the eyes, blepharoplasty can help refine and rejuvenate the area with precision.
What Is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is a surgical technique used to reshape the eyelids by removing or repositioning skin, fat and muscle. It can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on your individual concerns.
In cosmetic cases, the focus is often on improving eye contour and correcting features like hooded eyelids, eye bags, or under-eye puffiness. In some situations, blepharoplasty may also be performed for functional reasons — for example, to lift drooping upper eyelid skin that affects vision.
Benefits of Eyelid Surgery
While results vary from person to person, eyelid lift surgery can offer both cosmetic and functional improvements. Benefits may include:
- Removal of loose or sagging eyelid skin
- Reduction of puffiness or fat deposits in the upper or lower eyelids
- Smoother, firmer contour around the eyes
- Improved eyelid symmetry
- Enhanced field of vision in cases of drooping lids
- Discreet scars positioned within natural creases or lash lines
- A refined and more rested appearance

Types of Eyelid Surgery
Each eyelid procedure is carefully planned according to your needs. Our surgeons may recommend one or more of the following approaches:
Upper Eyelid Surgery
Removes excess upper eyelid skin and may reduce muscle or fat that contributes to heaviness or obstruction. Often chosen by those with hooded eyelids or drooping that affects daily function.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
Targets fat pockets under the eyes, sagging skin, or fine lines. Techniques may include fat repositioning, skin tightening, or smoothing to improve the under-eye contour and reduce puffiness.
Combination Blepharoplasty
In some cases, upper and lower eyelid surgery can be performed during the same procedure for a more comprehensive result.
The Procedure: What to Expect
1. Initial Consultation
You’ll meet with your surgeon to discuss your concerns, assess your eyelid anatomy and explore suitable options. We’ll take medical photos and explain what each surgical approach can achieve.
2. Tailored Treatment Plan
Based on your goals and physical features, we’ll create a personalised plan for your eyelid skin removal, fat adjustment and incision placement.
3. Surgery Day
Eyelid surgery in London is typically performed as a day procedure under local or general anaesthesia. Most procedures take 1–2 hours, depending on the complexity.
4. Post-Operative Care
After surgery, you’ll receive comprehensive aftercare instructions, including how to manage swelling and protect your incisions. We provide regular follow-ups to support safe and smooth healing.

Recovery After Blepharoplasty
Recovery is generally well-tolerated, but healing time varies. A general guide is:
- First 3–5 Days: Swelling and bruising are common. You may experience light sensitivity or temporary eye tightness.
- 1–2 Weeks: Most visible bruising subsides. Many clients feel comfortable returning to work and light social activities.
- 3–6 Weeks: Scars soften and fade; swelling continues to settle.
- 3–6 Months: Full results gradually refine as the tissue heals.
Most incisions are hidden within natural folds or along the lash line, making scarring discreet once healed.
Who Is Suitable for Eyelid Surgery?

- You have sagging eyelid skin or persistent puffiness
- Eye bags or droopy eyelids are impacting your appearance or vision
- You’re in good overall health and a non-smoker

Frequently Asked Questions
Does blepharoplasty help with vision problems?
In cases where excess upper eyelid skin droops over the lashes, blepharoplasty can help with vision problems by lifting the tissue and improving the field of view. This is particularly relevant for clients experiencing functional issues in addition to cosmetic concerns.
Can blepharoplasty be combined with other procedures?
Yes, blepharoplasty is often combined with treatments like brow lift or facelift surgery for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Your surgeon will advise whether blepharoplasty can be combined with other procedures as part of your treatment plan.
When will I see the results of blepharoplasty?
Most clients see noticeable improvements within 2 to 3 weeks as swelling subsides. However, when you will see the results of blepharoplasty depends on the extent of surgery, with final results refining over 3 to 6 months.
Can eyelid surgery fix hooded eyes?
Yes, upper blepharoplasty can be an effective solution for hooded eyes. By removing excess skin and refining the eyelid fold, eyelid surgery can fix hooded eyes that contribute to heaviness or a tired appearance.
Does lower eyelid surgery leave scars?
Lower eyelid incisions are usually made just below the lash line or inside the eyelid. While all surgery carries a risk of scarring, lower eyelid surgery often leaves scars that are minimal and well-concealed once healed.
