See the world in a new light

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes by addressing issues such as excess skin, fat, and muscle in the upper and/or lower eyelids. This can have both aesthetic and practical benefits for patients.

What’s involved in a Blepharoplasty procedure?

The surgical technique for blepharoplasty involves making precise incisions along the natural creases of the eyelids to ensure minimal scarring and optimal healing. Once the excess tissue has been removed, the incisions are meticulously closed, resulting in a seamless and natural-looking outcome. Before any surgery at Adnova Clinic, you will have a friendly consultation with one of our surgeons. Here, you can discuss how the procedure might be tailored to meet your unique needs.

Blepharoplasty Before and After

What does Blepharoplasty treat?

This surgical intervention is not only sought after for its aesthetic benefits but also for its functional advantages. In cases where sagging eyelid skin obstructs the visual field, blepharoplasty can significantly improve vision, making daily activities easier and more comfortable for the individual. This surgical treatment can also be used to correct drooping upper eyelids, reduce under-eye bags, or eliminate puffiness. A skilled surgeon, such as those at Adnova Clinic, can customise the surgery to achieve the desired outcome.

We also offer different procedures such as Rhinoplasty, Facelift, Necklift, and Pinnaplasty.

Our aftercare recommendations for Blepharoplasty surgery

While recovery from blepharoplasty is typically swift, with minimal downtime, patients may experience temporary side effects such as swelling, bruising, and dryness. These symptoms can be effectively managed with prescribed medications and the application of cold compresses, allowing patients to enjoy the long-term benefits of a refreshed and rejuvenated eye area. Your Adnova surgeon may provide advice to help with the recovery process, which is designed to shorten the timeframe. This could include: 

  • Clean the eyelids with prescribed ointment or use prescribed eyedrops. 
  • Elevate the head when at rest. 
  • Reduce swelling through the application of a cold pack or other cold item wrapped in a towel to the affected area. 
  • Take pain relief such as paracetamol following the surgery. 
  • Protect the eyes from harsh light and wind by wearing sunglasses.

I took my daughter to Adnova to see Mr Biggs about a nasty hockey injury to her nose. After an excellent consultation, she decided to go ahead with the surgery. On arrival, the Adnova team was incredibly friendly and efficient. She was particularly nervous about the anaesthesia, but her anaesthetist Marcus Fletcher was outstanding with her. His calm manner and gentle confidence was exactly what she needed. We were sent home same day with everything we needed to keep her comfortable at home and the results have been amazing. The piezo method used by Mr Biggs meant that bruising and swelling was limited and her confidence has re-emerged. I had definitely underestimated the incredible effect this kind of surgery can have on self-confidence. I am incredibly grateful to the Adnova team, the amazing Mr Biggs and our unsung hero of the OR, Marcus Fletcher. Thank you.
