What is Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)?
Eyelid surgery, eye bag removal, or blepharoplasty, is a procedure designed to improve the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids. It involves the removal of excess skin, fat, and muscle to correct drooping eyelids or under-eye bags, giving the eyes a more youthful and refreshed look. This surgery can also improve vision by removing obstructive skin in some cases.
Blepharoplasty is a popular procedure for those who want to address puffiness, bags, or sagging eyelids caused by ageing, genetics, or lifestyle factors. It’s not a substitute for a facelift but can complement other facial surgeries for more dramatic results.
What Happens During Surgery?
During eyelid surgery, incisions are made along natural lines of the eyelids—either in the creases of the upper eyelids or just below the lower lashes. Excess fat and skin are carefully removed, and the remaining tissues are tightened to improve the contour of the eyelids. In some cases, the lower eyelid muscles may be repositioned to reduce puffiness.
The surgery typically takes 1-2 hours, and recovery time is quick with minimal scarring, as the incisions are hidden within the eyelid’s natural folds.

How much does eyelid surgery cost?
Every blepharoplasty is planned around you. Your price depends on whether you need upper, lower or both eyelids treated, how much skin or fat needs to be removed, your anaesthetic, and any other procedure at the same time.
Your surgeon confirms your plan at your free consultation, so rather than show a figure that may not apply to you, we send you your personal price.

FAQ's
During eyelid surgery, excess skin, fat, and muscle are removed to create a smoother, more youthful appearance. The incisions are hidden in the natural folds of the eyelids, making scars virtually invisible.
If you’re bothered by drooping eyelids or under-eye bags and are in good overall health, eyelid surgery may be an ideal option for you.
You can expect swelling and bruising for the first few days. Most people return to light activities within 1-2 weeks, but full recovery typically takes 4-6 weeks.
Scarring is minimal and usually well-hidden within the natural creases of the eyelids, so it’s not noticeable to others.
The results of eyelid surgery can last for many years, though the ageing process will continue. With proper care, you can maintain a youthful, refreshed appearance.
It depends on what concerns you. Upper eyelid surgery treats excess skin on the upper lids, while lower eyelid surgery treats bags and loose skin below the eyes. Some patients have both at the same time. Your surgeon will advise you at your consultation.
Upper eyelid surgery is often carried out under local anaesthetic, sometimes with sedation. Lower or combined eyelid surgery may be done under general anaesthetic. Your surgeon will recommend the right option for you.
No. Hooded upper lids are usually caused by excess skin, but a lid that sits low because its lifting muscle has weakened is a separate condition called ptosis, which is treated differently. Your surgeon will check which applies to you.
