Who is a suitable candidate for the upper eyelid surgery?

To be suitable for the upper eyelid surgery, there are certain factors that will determine whether you qualify for the procedure. These include having sagging or drooping skin, experiencing headaches, or having a loss of vision. If you are deemed suitable for the upper eyelid surgery, we kindly request the following information: your medical history, current state of health, any allergies you have, and any medications you might be taking.

The information you provide can influence whether this procedure is fitting for you. During a free consultation, a cosmetic surgeon will advise you on the procedure, as it may not be recommended for everyone. The consultation includes an examination of your eyelids and an assessment of your personal situation. We look forward to welcoming our valued patients from the United Kingdom and from all around the world.

What is the procedure for the upper eyelid surgery?

Before the procedure, you will be able to eat and drink as you normally would. The surgery is carried out under local anaesthesia. The cosmetic surgeon will first mark the area of the skin that will be removed so it is clearly indicated. Then, the surgeon will remove the excess skin.

Lastly, the capillaries will be cauterized to prevent bleeding, and the incision will be closed. The scar will be practically invisible, as the stitches will be in the crease of the eyelid.

Step-by-step plan for the upper eyelid surgery

First, you will schedule a call with one of our medical assistants. During this call, you will discuss your concerns and the procedure. Depending on whether the assistant deems you suitable for the surgery, you will plan an online consulation with your cosmetic surgeon. During the consultation, the cosmetic surgeon will discuss the treatment and arrange a schedule for the surgery that suits you. Your surgery will always be conducted by the practitioner with whom you had your consultation.

Results of upper eyelid surgery

An upper eyelid lift can leave your eyes looking and feeling firmer, providing a well-rested appearance and potentially reducing headaches by relieving pressure on your eyes. Your vision will improve, allowing you to resume daily tasks promptly. Stitches are typically removed quickly, leading to visible results soon after treatment.

While initial scarring may be visible, it tends to fade in the weeks following the procedure. Ultimately, the outcome of an upper eyelid lift includes firmer eyelids, enhanced expressiveness, and a more youthful appearance.

Post-Treatment Care for eyelid surgery

We advise you to use proper sun protection when going outdoors after treatment. The skin and the scar on the upper eyelid will remain fragile and sensitive to UV rays. This will help prevent extra pigment from accumulating in the scar or excess redness. After six weeks, it is safe to be exposed to the sun.

We always use dissolvable stitches to close the wounds, so you do not have to return for removal. Two weeks after they dissolve, you can begin using scar cream. We recommend applying the cream liberally every day. Additionally, you can purchase lid lift goggles designed to reduce bruising and swelling.
