heavy eyelids

Upper eyelid surgery is a cost-effective operation with minimal downtime that instantly rejuvenates the face. It is ideal for those who have excess upper eyelid skin which gives a 'tired look'. It is performed under local anaesthetic (you are awake) as a daycase. It involves trimming the excess skin in the upper eyelids and removing any herniating fat. The sutures are removed at 5-7 days. The scar which is placed in the upper eyelid crease fades rapidly.

At Stradbrook skin, we now offer upper lid blepharoplasty under local anaesthetic performed by our Consultant Plastic Surgeon.
