Venus Medical usually offers upper blepharoplasty for cosmetic enhancement. However, some of our patients say the sagging affects their vision, so the upper blepharoplasty also improves this. Our skilled plastic surgeons perform the procedure on patients who have mild excess skin to those with severely sagging skin where it drops over the eyelashes.

After upper blepharoplasty, you’ll experience some temporary bruising and swelling–this can last for a few days or longer. Immediately after the procedure you will relax in our recovery room until you are ready to be collected by a family member or friend. While mild discomfort, numb eyelids, and blurry vision are possible, these effects are temporary. Our detailed post-operative care instructions, including cold compresses and prescribed eye drops, contribute to a smooth recovery, ensuring you’re back to your usual routine within a short time. Stitches are removed usually 1 week after surgery.  You can apply makeup around the eyes usually 10 days after surgery.

Like any surgical procedure, upper blepharoplasty carries some potential risks, though they are very uncommon. Our experienced plastic surgeons and team employ precise techniques and thorough care before and after surgery to optimise results and reduce side-effects.  Complications of surgery include delayed wound healing, bleeding, and asymmetry. Your safety and satisfaction are paramount, and our meticulous approach ensures a successful procedure with minimal chance of complications. Other complications associated with general anaesthesia, including blood clots, are avoided using local anaesthesia. 

Will there be visible scars after the surgery?

At Venus Medical, the plastic surgeon makes incisions within the natural crease of the upper eyelids. This placement minimizes the visibility of scars, allowing them to fade naturally over time. Depending on your skin quality, we can use lasers for scars if necessary to help them become invisible. The incisions follow the natural contours of your eyes so the results look completely natural.

Yes.  If you have only hooding on one side, we can perform the procedure on that side only if you wish to improve symmetry. Most patients, however, benefit from treating both sides. 

Yes, often we perform upper and lower blepharoplasty at the same time. CO2 laser resurfacing can also be performed together with an eyelift. Sometimes we perform upper blepharoplasty with other facial procedures such as face lift, FaceTite, and lip lift. However, a full brow lift is not performed at the same time as an upper blepharoplasty. If the eyebrow is very low, it may be more appropriate to undergo a brow lift procedure instead of an upper blepharoplasty. We will assess you and explain what will be best for you.
