Inge Van Litringen. London

Absolutely delighted with the results of my upper blepharoplasty, and actually, the whole process. The procedure went exactly as Jonathan and Rachna explained it would; they’re so proficient at what they do, and so reassuring.

It’s probably the single thing that I could do that’s made the biggest impact 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 - that’s really wonderful. Absolutely, it’s worth it if that’s an area that you’re worried about

What is Upper Blepharoplasty?

Droopy eyelids can interfere with vision, making the eyes themselves appear smaller, feel heavy, and look tired, often ageing the patient well beyond their years. For some, excess skin over the eyelids can make everyday activities, such as reading or driving, harder.

Creating a defined eyelid crease between the eyebrow and the eyelashes, the upper blepharoplasty facilitates excess skin removal, whilst repositioning underlying fat cells to enhance your facial shape and balance.

Lasting 10 years or more, this long-term upper eyelid rejuvenation lifts the entire
eye’s appearance. Your eyes will appear open, and your face will look alert – restoring your natural, youthful appearance and improving your visibility.

A more open, refreshed, youthful appearance also results in:

An improved field of vision, including peripheral, if impaired
Reduced eye strain
Improved forehead lines
Eyelids feel lighter & you’ll feel more ‘awake’
Reduced puffiness & asymmetrical skin creases
Easier application & longevity of eye make-up without the smearing
Improved self-confidence & mood.

How can we help you?

Your Dual-Clinician Consultation

We’ll carefully evaluate your eye health and any excess skin over your eyes, which may be affecting your vision. Looking at muscle function, skin quality, tear film, contours, and overall facial structure, we’ll take precise measurements and detailed imaging to plan your eyelid reduction procedure to ensure the utmost accuracy, and minimal scarring.

Together, we’ll build a tailored surgical plan aimed at restoring a refreshed, natural appearance while maintaining healthy eyelid function. There will be lots of time to ask any questions about your droopy eyelid correction — our goal is to fully inform and guide you, so you can make a confident, informed decision about your blepharoplasty treatment.

Your Specialised Treatment

Unlike traditional upper eyelid lift surgery, our minimally invasive upper blepharoplasty is performed under local anaesthetic, allowing us to continually assess your natural eye contour, eyelid movement and symmetry. We’ll use clinically proven relaxation and distraction techniques throughout, and with your eyes closed, you won’t see anything or feel any pain.

Meticulously marked incision lines guide excess upper eyelid skin removal and repositioning of muscle or fat to restore your facial contour in around 35 minutes. Offering a safe, precise, refined and relaxed blepharoplasty experience, delivering natural results with minor, discreet scarring, reduced downtime and faster recovery, this approach means you’ll be back to yourself in just a couple of days.

Your Natural Results

Whilst a little swelling & bruising is completely normal, recovery following eyelid reduction surgery is usually far quicker & more discreet than many of our patients expect. Incisions are neatly closed with ultra-fine, dissolvable sutures, and with our own proven Scarless^TM protocol, which uses yellow and blue light technology, alongside our own Purifeyes^TM Spray, scarring is almost invisible once settled.

Due to our unique local approach, the vast majority of our upper blepharoplasty patients feel comfortable returning to work within just 2-3 days. Upper eyelid rejuvenation results typically last around 10 years, although with our advice on how to prolong your successful upper blepharoplasty with lifestyle and Microbial Mantle^TM skincare, we’re confident you’ll never need another treatment.

Common Patient Questions & Helpful Answers

What causes droopy upper eyelids?

Droopy or sagging upper eyelids are commonly caused by ageing, reduced collagen, genetics, and lifestyle factors, such as sun damage, which increase eyelid skin laxity.

Some medical conditions, including thyroid eye disease, facial palsy, A-frame deformity or ptosis, may also contribute. Our holistic consultations identify the cause, recommending the most appropriate droopy eyelid correction treatment for natural upper eyelid rejuvenation.

Will I be left with visible scarring?

We completely understand; scarring is one of the most common concerns when you’re considering upper eyelift surgery.

Making precise incisions along the eye’s natural eyelid fold, ensuring discreet healing, we deliver advanced surgical scar management techniques with our own clinically proven Scarless^TM protocol.

Any scarring following eyelid reduction or upper eyelid lift treatment is so light that it’s almost invisible.

How soon can I apply make-up after upper blepharoplasty?

After upper blepharoplasty, you can recommence your face make-up after five days, avoiding the eyelid until your stitches are removed, around 5-10 days.

Our expert daily wound management virtual consultant ‘ward-round’ and our Scarless™ protocol support fast upper eyelid lift surgery healing.

For patients wanting an earlier return, our specialist non-toxic make-up partner offers products suitable for immediate use post-treatment.

Does upper eyelid surgery hurt?

No; upper blepharoplasty is performed under local anaesthetic, so you won’t see or feel the procedure. Most patients say the brief sting from the anaesthetic injection is the worst part.

With your eyes closed, our proven distraction techniques help you feel calm and comfortable throughout your upper eyelid lift. Mild tightness, swelling or discomfort after eyelid surgery is usually manageable.

How long will it take to recover from eyelid surgery?

If you’re anything like the majority of our patients, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how quickly your eyes heal. Upper blepharoplasty has minimal downtime; most return to work within 2-3 days.

Mild swelling and bruising settle within a week, while your upper eyelid rejuvenation results refine over the following months with our own Scarless^TMlight therapy and Microbial Mantle^TM protocols.

Are there any potential risks or complications with upper blepharoplasty surgery?

Any complications following upper blepharoplasty are rare. Some patients may experience slight changes in eyelid skin sensation following excess upper eyelid skin removal, while temporary dry eyes can occur.

Infection risk is low with our own Purifeyes™ Spray and Microbial Mantle™ aftercare. Our bespoke eyelid reduction treatment and our daily aftercare ‘consultant ward-round’ via WhatsApp support your safe, fast recovery.

How long do the results of an upper eyelid lift last?

Results from your upper eyelid rejuvenation are crafted to be long-lasting, with excess upper eyelid skin removal typically maintaining its appearance for 10 years+.

Our personalised aftercare and Microbiome Mantle^TM skincare regime ensures your results are long-term. As our proven outcomes often extend beyond 10 years, we believe this is the only upper eyelid lift treatment you will ever need.

How much does upper blepharoplasty cost?

You are unique, and as such, we treat any blepharoplasty as the bespoke eyelid lift surgery that it is.

Following your consultation, you’ll receive a full breakdown of your upper eyelid rejuvenation treatment, including pricing and the flexible payment options we provide.

While costs vary depending on your bespoke treatment needs, our inclusive prices for your upper blepharoplasty and all associated aftercare start from £6,950.

Do you provide finance options for upper eyelid surgery?

We believe in making optimal eye health and comfort as accessible as possible. We are pleased to offer our patients the choice to pay after 30 days, or to enjoy the flexibility of an affordable instalment payment plan with three equal Karna payments, through our trusted payment partner, Patient Perfect.
