What is an Eyelid Lift?
Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure to improve the appearance of the eyelids. Like the rest of the face, periorbital ageing involves a combination of fat volume loss (atrophy), loss of skin elasticity, thinning of the skin and descent of other tissue structures.
How Blepharoplasty Improves the Eyes
This surgery can give your eyes a smoother, better contoured eyelid. Depending on what is required, sagging skin and fat can be removed or added to your lids for a more youthful appearance.
What is involved in the Eyelid Lift?
1 | What to Expect During Your Procedure
- The blepharoplasty procedure primarily involves the removal of excess skin and tissue from the eyelids.
- In many cases, I combine this procedure with a canthopexy, which involves tightening the lower eyelid, and the use of microfat grafts to restore volume where necessary.
2 | Personalised Approach to Eyelid Surgery
- Because periorbital ageing involves a combination of fat volume loss, loss of skin elasticity, thinning of the skin and descent of other tissue structures, sometimes skin excision alone is not enough.
- Depending on the pathology I will either leave an incision just beneath the lashes or within the eyelid itself.
