Droopy or hooded eyelids can affect both appearance and vision. In some cases, excess eyelid skin can create a heavy sensation or reduce the upper field of vision. At Kelsall Surgical Centre, we provide consultant-led blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) to restore a clearer, more defined eyelid contour, while maintaining a natural appearance.

  • What Is Blepharoplasty?

    Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, fat, or muscle from the eyelids.

    It can be performed on:

    - Upper eyelids (to remove overhanging skin)
    - Lower eyelids (to reduce puffiness or under-eye bags)
    - Or both, depending on your needs

    The procedure may be performed for:
    - Functional reasons (to improve vision)
    - Aesthetic reasons (to improve appearance)

  • Why Do Eyelids Become Droopy or Hooded?

    Eyelids change over time due to:

    - Loss of skin elasticity
    - Weakening of supporting muscles
    - Redistribution of fat within the eyelids

    This can lead to:

    - Excess upper eyelid skin
    - Puffiness or bags under the eyes
    - A tired or heavy appearance
    - In more advanced cases, the upper eyelid skin can begin to interfere with vision.

  • Symptoms of Droopy Eyelids

    You may benefit from blepharoplasty if you experience:

    - Heavy or drooping upper eyelids
    - Reduced upper field of vision
    - Difficulty keeping eyes open comfortably
    - Puffiness or bags under the eyes
    - A tired appearance despite feeling well

  • Blepharoplasty vs Non-Surgical Treatments

    Non-surgical treatments such as skin tightening, anti-wrinkle treatments, or fillers may provide mild or temporary improvement.

    However:

    - They do not remove excess skin
    - Results are limited in moderate to severe cases
    - Effects are temporary
    - Blepharoplasty remains the most effective treatment for significant eyelid skin excess.

What to Expect?

Understanding eyelid surgery can help ease any anxieties.
Here's a brief overview of what you can expect:

  • Step 1 : Consultation

    ✔ Personalised plan
    ✔ Clear pricing
    ✔ Confirmed surgery date

    Your journey starts with a detailed consultation with one of our consultant oculoplastic surgeons. We'll discuss your symptoms and lifestyle needs, and create a personalised treatment plan.

  • Step 2: The Procedure

    ✔ In -house Surgical Suite
    ✔ Upper eyelids: approximately 45–90 minutes
    ✔ Lower eyelids: approximately 1–2 hours
    ✔ Combined procedures may take longer
    ✔ Return home the same day
    ✔ Local anaesthetic

    Blepharoplasty involves careful marking of the eyelid. removal of excess skin and/or fat and precise closure to minimise scarring. Dissolvable sutures and scars are hidden in the normal eyelid creases.

  • Step 3: Recovery & Aftercare

    ✔ Bruising for approximately 1 - 2 weeks
    ✔ Return to normal activities within 1–2 weeks
    ✔ Setailed aftercare instructions
    ✔ Emergency Phone Number

    Dissolvable stitches are used, so there's no need for them to be removed. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions on how to gently clean the area and use any prescribed ointment. While you can usually return to light daily activities within a few days, it's essential to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for several weeks to ensure a smooth and optimal healing process.

Do I Need Eyelid Surgery?

Blepharoplasty may be appropriate if:

  • Excess eyelid skin is affecting your vision

  • Symptoms interfere with daily activities (reading, driving)

  • Non-surgical treatments are no longer effective

  • You want a longer-term solution

A consultation with a specialist will determine whether your concerns are caused by skin, fat, or other underlying factors.

 FAQs About Blepharoplasty Surgery

Here are some of the most common questions our patients ask about Blepharoplasty surgery. If you have a question not listed here, please don't hesitate to contact our team.

  • Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, fat, or muscle from the eyelids to improve vision or appearance.

  • While general plastic surgeons are highly skilled professionals, their expertise covers a wide range of procedures across the entire body (e.g., breast augmentation, tummy tucks). An oculoplastic surgeon, in contrast, has dedicated their entire career to the eyes and the areas immediately surrounding them. This narrow focus means they have a greater depth of experience and a higher volume of cases involving the eyelids, giving them a level of precision and expertise that is invaluable for this specific surgery.

  • Droopy eyelids are most commonly caused by ageing, where the skin loses elasticity and muscles weaken, allowing excess tissue to develop.

  • Yes. In some cases, excess upper eyelid skin can obstruct the visual field, and surgery can improve vision.

  • Eyelid surgery typically takes between 45 minutes and 2 hours depending on the procedure.

  • The procedure is usually performed under local anaesthetic, so discomfort during surgery is minimal. The anaesthetic can sting.

  • Most patients recover within 1–2 weeks, although mild swelling may last longer.

  • Results are long-lasting, although natural ageing continues over time.

  • No. You can book directly for a private consultation.

  • It may be available if vision is significantly affected, but access is limited. Private treatment offers faster access and to address aesthetic reasons.

  • Blepharoplasty is a well-established procedure, but all surgery carries some risk.

    These may include:

    • Bruising and swelling

    • Dry or irritated eyes

    • Temporary blurred vision

    • Infection or bleeding

    Serious complications are uncommon, and risks will be discussed in detail during your consultation.
