An eyelid lift is performed under general anaesthetic. If you choose lower lid surgery, an incision is made under the lower lashes or inside the eyelid, where excess tissue is removed. With upper eyelid surgery an incision is made along the natural crease of the eyelid. Surplus tissue is then taken away to leave brighter, younger looking eyes.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

Eyelid surgery can take between 1 and 3 hours.

IS IT RIGHT FOR ME?

Often droopy eyelids or puffiness under your eyes are hereditary, this is a great way to correct it. Though any surgery is a big decision and we'll provide all the details you need to make an informed choice. If you suffer from glaucoma or dry eyes, you must consult an eye specialist or ophthalmologist first.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER SURGERY?

You'll usually stay in hospital overnight and will need a week off work to recover.
