Lower eyelid blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty is one of the most commonly performed procedures at Face Restoration. Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is a procedure used to reduce the appearance of eye bags (or eyelid bags), loose folds of extra skin, or dark circles under the lower lids (tear trough defects). The face acquires age-related traits not just due to drooping but also as a result of soft tissue deflation.
At Face Restoration, we understand that the eye area is often the first that our patients notice when it comes to the signs of ageing. Our leading oculoplastic surgeons will take you through all of your treatment options and create a bespoke treatment plan that aims to achieve your aesthetic goals with natural-looking results.

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.
