Blepharoplasty — more commonly known as eyelid surgery — is one of the most effective and understated ways to refresh your appearance, reduce signs of ageing, and restore a brighter, more open look to the eyes.

Whether you’re bothered by droopy upper lids, puffy under-eyes, or a general feeling of looking “tired” even when you’re not, blepharoplasty could be the subtle yet powerful solution you’ve been looking for.

At Cosmedicare, we offer upper, lower, and combined eyelid surgery, performed by GMC-registered specialist surgeons, with anaesthetic options tailored to your comfort and lifestyle.

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes or repositions excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle around the eyelids to create a smoother, more youthful appearance.

It’s not about changing your face — it’s about refreshing what’s already there, gently and naturally.

Types of Blepharoplasty Surgery

1. Upper Eyelid Surgery

Often chosen to lift hooded or heavy eyelids, improve vision where sagging skin is affecting your line of sight and restore a more alert, youthful expression.

• Quick procedure
• Minimal scarring hidden in the eyelid crease
• Can be done under local anaesthetic or sedation

2. Lower Eyelid Surgery

Aimed at reducing puffiness or under-eye bags, loose or crepey skin beneath the eyes, and “tired” or hollowed-out appearance.

Techniques may include:

• Fat repositioning or removal
• Skin tightening
• Support of the muscle and tendon structure if needed

Usually performed under sedation or general anaesthetic, depending on complexity.

3. Upper & Lower Eyelid Combined Surgery

For patients looking to address both sets of concerns in one procedure, upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty can be combined — offering a full eye area rejuvenation with a single recovery period.

• Efficient
• Balanced results
• Performed under sedation or general anaesthetic

Optional Add On: Fat Transfer

For patients experiencing hollowness or volume loss around the eyes, cheeks or temples, fat transfer can be combined with blepharoplasty to enhance results.

• Uses your own body fat, usually from the abdomen or thighs
• Gently injected into areas where soft tissue has diminished
• Creates smoother transitions, less sharp contrast, and a more youthful contour

Often used in patients with thin skin or sunken under-eyes, where removing fat alone may not achieve the best cosmetic result.

Optional Add On: Fat Transfer

Your comfort is a key part of your surgical plan. We offer:

• Local Anaesthetic: Ideal for upper eyelid surgery — you’re awake but the area is completely numb
• Local + Sedation: A great middle ground for upper or lower eyelids — you’ll be relaxed, calm, and may remember little to nothing of the procedure
• General Anaesthetic: Often used for combined or more complex procedures — you’ll be fully asleep, with a smooth, supportive recovery

All anaesthesia is delivered by a GMC-registered consultant anaesthetist, with continuous monitoring in a fully accredited hospital environment

Recovery and Aftercare

• Most patients go home the same day
• Swelling and bruising typically peak at day 2–3 and improve by week 2
• Stitches (if needed) are usually removed after 5–7 days
• Results continue to refine over 6–12 weeks
• Our team provides full aftercare and 24/7 support as standard
