eye bag removal

A natural impact of the ageing process can be visible around your eyes and the surrounding area. Eye-Bag Removal surgery can amend this by making the eyes more open and firmer, giving our patients a youthful and fresher appearance, creating a brighter and happier expression.

blankThe procedure, also called blepharoplasty, can combat premature ageing, and give you a natural lift, and a more toned facial appearance. Drooping eyelids and softer, thinner skin around the eyes can cause some patients real concern; but a straightforward procedure could remove excess skin to tighten and lift the area.

Surgery on the upper eyelid may take around one hour, whereas surgery on the lower lid may take closer to two hours. As always, this depends highly upon the individual and surgeon involved. Most patients will be allowed to go home the same day.

The surgery can be done under local anaesthetic with sedation or under general anaesthetic. Our surgeon will discuss these options with you and decide which is the best fit for you. Surgery on the upper eyelid would typically consist of making an incision along the crease before removing excess skin, fat, or muscle. The cut will then be closed, and the scar hidden in the natural skin fold of the eyelid.

Surgery on the lower eyelid would involve an incision just below the lower lashes or on the inside of the eyelid. Excess fat or sometimes a small amount of skin will be removed before closing the cut. Our surgeon will normally apply suture strips to help support the eyelid after surgery to aid healing, these are usually removed up to a week later.

Q: How long is recovery?
A:
This is always dependent on the surgery and the patient, but typically after the first week the swelling has reduced, and the results are showing soon after. The area will be delicate and will need to be cared for, however, once the wound has healed and sutures removed, there are generally no obvious traces.
