Eyelid tightening
Eyelid tightening surgery is usually performed with a lower eyelid blepharoplasty to tighten the lower eyelid and give some patients more of an almond eye appearance. In older patients with laxity of the lower eyelid, it can be performed as a standalone procedure.
At FaceRestoration, we use eyelid tightening for both cosmetic and clinical purposes. Patients suffering from lower lid ptosis or a droopy lower lid may benefit from eyelid tightening, as well as patients looking to enhance their appearance with a lifted, and rejuvenated look.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the eyelid tightening procedure?
There are a variety of methods for tightening eyelids. Some treatments are more invasive than others. For example, Canthoplasty involves cutting repositioning muscles and tendons whereas Canthoplexy involves suturing for repositioning and strength. We will discuss the types of treatment that are most appropriate at your consultation appointment.
How long is the recovery after eyelid tightening surgery?
Depending on the type of surgery you recieve, it is normal to expect a small amount of bruising and swelling. Most patients can return to normal activities after 3 weeks.
After your surgery, you will have access to both surgeons via chat, so that you may ask questions about your recovery at any time.
Is the surgery permanent?
Surgery is permanent and should last well. It is important to remember that skin will lose elasticity over time. The effects of ageing and gravity will mean gradually loosening over a long period of time.

Hi, my name is Beth and I had the upper blepharoplasty with Jonathan and Rachna just about four months ago now. Absolutely delighted with the results and actually the whole process. So having my first consultation with some both right through to the follow-up appointments that I had, the many messages that I sent after the procedure worrying about this and that, and Jonathan and Rachna were always really quick in coming back to me, really reassuring and informative, which was amazing and actually a big part of why I chose to have the procedure with them. I had gone to other consultations but there was something about both the manner and of course the expertise of Jonathan and Rachna that led me to pick them. On the day itself I was super nervous as I'm sure many of their clients are, but didn't need to be.
First of all because the procedure went exactly as they explained it would and second because they're so proficient at what they do and so reassuring. I had thought about having the procedure for about a year, having very hooded eyes, which my mother also had, which were getting really quite a lot worse as I moved into my mid-40s, early 50s. It's probably the single thing that I could do that's made the biggest impact I think on my appearance and therefore on my confidence, just to not feel that I'm looking tired all the time. I can actually see the shape of my eyes, see my eyelids, which I wasn't able to before and that's really wonderful. I would have zero hesitation in recommending Jonathan and Rachna for this procedure, highly skilled, superb, manner, easy process communication and I would recommend them to anyone and indeed have been. I have many friends around my age who are contemplating having this procedure and I would say absolutely it's worth it if that's an area of your face that you're worried about.
