An eyelid operation is a simple operation with long-term results.  It has a refreshing effect on the midface that lasts for many years.

UPPER LIDS

The most common procedure is the removal of excess skin and tissue from above the upper lids, leaving a re-defined eyelid.  There is a hairline scar left hidden in the normal eyelid crease.  The heavy tired look is replaced by a fresh open look.  However it is not possible to be left with the “startled rabbit” look that you sometimes see after a formal brow lift – the eyebrow position is not touched in this procedure.  Stitches are removed after 5 days.  There is usually mild bruising only and no pain.  The average person is back to work in 5 -7 days.

LOWER LIDS

The next most common procedure is the removal of fat bags from under the eyes.  In this case there is a small incision made on the inside of the eyelid thus leaving no external, visible scar.  There are no stitches. Again the average person is back at work in 5 -7 days.

The third procedure is the removal of excess skin from the lower lid.  This leaves a fine scar hidden high up under the eyelashes.

Eyelid surgery is easily done as a day case using a light sedation anaesthetic so you are home by lunchtime.
