Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) at our London clinic

Blepharoplasty surgery usually addresses any overt hooding or puffiness of the tissues around your eye. It can effectively reduce or remove any bagginess or looseness in your eyelid region.

It can also help dark circles in situations where these are caused by shadowing due to excess fat in your eyelids. What’s more, it’ll also help to increase the amount of eyelid showing in the upper eyelid region where this has been reduced due to excess skin folds.

It won’t, however, remove or reduce crow’s feet or laughter lines at the side of your eyes or change the position of your eyebrows. And it won’t improve any puffiness or bagginess on the cheek or cheekbone area (called malar bags).

Yes! Because we have a team of leading cosmetic surgery specialists here at the Karidis Clinic offering a range of different surgical and non surgical treatments,, you can combine other procedures with a blepharoplasty. As the ageing process usually affects the entire face, many patients opt to have their face, neck or brow lifted at the same time as well. This way you’ll be able to make more efficient use of your recovery period by recovering from all procedures at the same time.

All surgery carries some uncertainty and risk. When a blepharoplasty is performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, complications are infrequent and usually minor. Still, individuals vary greatly in their anatomy, their physical reactions, and their healing abilities, and the outcome is never completely predictable.

Complications are not common, however can include: haematoma (a collection of blood under the skin), minor infections and scar lumpiness. Some patients will experience some minor ocular inflammation (chemosis) for a short period of time following surgery. This often resolves quickly without the need for intervention.

It’s always useful to allow yourself plenty of time to recover and organise sufficient time off work. Two weeks should give you enough time to allow any obvious bruising and swelling to subside. A little makeup may be required at that point to cover any remaining bruising. Ensuring that any blood or other tests that are required are undertaken well in advance will help to avoid any potential delays.

Blepharoplasty is one of the most popular aesthetic surgery procedures. You’ll likely be happy with your surgery, especially if you realise that the results may not be immediately apparent.

The combination of a fresher look to your eyes whilst reducing their tired appearance will undoubtedly boost your self-esteem and lift your confidence and the results should last for years. Always be mindful that no procedure can  halt the ageing process: the clock can be turned back but you can’t stop it from ticking altogether.

To perform blepharoplasty surgery, the skills of a surgeon, the hospital theatre team, an anaesthetist and the safety and care provided by a great hospital team and setting are required. Our fees for the day of your surgery include all of these as well as telephone access to a dedicated patient journey app and post operative nurse once you are home. The price also includes all of your pre-operative and post-operative care and you can call us or come to see us as many times as you like with your questions relating to this procedure . We also give you access to our Practice Coach who will help you through your journey and prepare you for a successful and speedy recovery.

Should you require additional care we can offer that too and factor in everything that you need to make your journey the smoothest and the best for you. Let us know what you need and we’ll give you a detailed quotation after you have seen your surgeon and discussed exactly what you need at your consultation.
