Eyelid
If you want to open and brighten your eyes and look more fresh and less tired than a blepharoplasty is the solution for you. As we age our eyelid region becomes smaller and we begin to get wrinkles and show hollowing or fat bags. At our clinic a blepharoplasty will open and brighten the eyes to restore a freshness to your eye region and will have people wondering what you did.
Youthful eyes have an elegant transition between the lower eyelid region and the cheeks. The fullness that is found their in youth empties with ageing, detracting from the majestic beauty of the eyes. Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) can soften this area to correct age-related changes, restore a fresher-looking eye region, and rejuvenate the appearance.

WHAT CAN BE ACHIEVED?
Tighter and More Lifted Eyelid Tissues
With time, the upper eyelid skin loses elasticity. This leads to wrinkling, hooding, sagging, and a tired appearance. We will carefully assess your eyelids and tighten or remove the excess skin, lifting the tissues to revitalise your appearance. We will also intervene where the ligamentous support of the lower eyelid has attenuated with age to provide a tighter and more naturally youthful look to the eyelid and cheek junction.
Smoother Skin With Fewer Wrinkles
The loss of elasticity and shifting of fat pads around the eyes typically leads to crow’s feet wrinkles and eventual “bags” under the eyes. Removing excess skin and tightening the tissues helps smooth out the eyelid area, eliminating wrinkles and creating a smoother and more even appearance.
Softer and Fuller Lower Eyelids
The eyelids naturally have a small amount of fat in them, which is why youthful eyes tend to look soft and round. One of the first signs of ageing is bags under the eyes that form because the fat has become displaced. Wewill offer the appropriate intervention to address volume atrophy and blend the eyelid and cheek junction using surgical and non-surgical rejuvenation treatments.
An Upper Eyelid Sulcus (Asian Eyelid Surgery)
While Caucasians and even some Asians have a lid fold or additional crease in the upper eyelid, many Asians do not. We uses an increasingly popular eyelid surgery technique to create the upper eyelid sulcus, or “double eyelid,” in Asian eyelids that lack it. This helps the eyes look bigger and makes it easier to apply eye makeup.
BLEPHAROPLASTY TECHNIQUES
- We corrects signs of ageing in the upper eyelids
- An inconspicuous incision in the creases of the upper eyelids makes it possible to remove excess skin
- Removal of excess skin improves the shape of the upper eyelids
- Can correct upper eyelid impediments to fully open the eyes
- Manipulation of underlying fat provides a youthful eyelid region
- Removal of the muscle creates a seamless scar with the tarsal fold
- May also include non-surgical techniques to reduce wrinkles and improve skin fullness
- The goals of upper eyelid blepharoplasty are to open the eyes and restore eyelid skin for a fresh look
- We corrects signs of ageing in the lower eyelids
- Uses either the skin-muscle flap approach or pinch blepharoplasty with transconjunctival fat removal
- May be accompanied by canthoplasty (canthopexy), which supports and reinforces the lower eyelids to avoid laxity during and after recovery
- May also include non-surgical techniques to reduce wrinkles and improve skin fullness
- When operating on the lower eyelids, the tone and laxity of the lower eyelids may require tightening as part of the rejuvenation procedure.
- As a wound heals, it tends to lay down scar tissue, and scars around the eye tend to pull the lower eyelid away from the globe. A canthopexy or canthoplasty aims to support and reinforce the eyelid through the placement of accurate internal sutures in the lateral eyelid.
- Where necessary, the tarsus (fibrous tissue in the upper eyelid) can be fixated to the orbicularis muscle and skin
- This recreates or enhances the natural tarsal fold to show a desirable amount of upper eyelid skin
- An inconspicuous incision is placed beneath the lower eyelashes
- A skin-muscle flap is raised to the orbital rim
- The orbital-malar and tear trough ligaments are released
- Fat is removed or repositioned
- Excess skin is removed
- Results in a smoother lower eyelid region with improvements in dark shadows, eye bags, and a more harmonious eye-cheek junction
- Best in revision eye surgery, where significant skin laxity exists, and where additional support is needed
- The position of the eyebrows is paramount to the assessment of the upper eyelid region. We are highly trained plastic surgeons in facial aesthetics and will accurately assess your brow position and its influence on your upper eyelid region.
- In some circumstances, a lower brow position is the cause of upper eyelid excess skin and a tired appearance to the eye. In these cases, a brow lift is indicated. A brow lift can be done in conjunction with a blepharoplasty.
- For some patients who qualify, this lunchtime procedure can remove excess upper eyelid skin only to rejuvenate the upper eyelids and open up the eyes
- This is performed under a local anaesthetic
- Removes skin up to 1 cm beneath the eyes
- The transconjunctival incision is made inside the eyelids to access fat
- Fat is removed or repositioned
- This approach preserves the orbicularis muscle
- Best for those with only a moderate amount of excess skin or who prefer less downtime
- May be combined with a chemical peel of the lower eyelids
- Lower eyelid skin can be removed under a local anaesthetic as a lunchtime procedure
- Suitable for those with mild to moderate skin excess
- May be combined with a chemical peel of the lower eyelid
