Eyelid Reduction Surgery | Blepharoplasty

As a part of normal ageing, the skin of the eyelids may sag and become loose and baggy. Excess fatty tissue in the upper and lower eyelids may contribute to the condition. Some people find this unsightly. If the condition is extreme in the upper eyelid, it may partially block vision. Eyelid reduction plastic surgery, 'blepharoplasty', can correct both aesthetic and visual problems.

The loose fold of skin that droops over the eyelid can be removed to make the eyes appear bigger and younger looking. The bags below the eyes can also be reduced. Eyelid reductions are one of the most common plastic surgery operations and can be undertaken in our theatre with a local anaesthetic.

Browlift Surgery

Drooping eyebrows, deep wrinkles in the forehead and crow's feet are common signs of ageing. Sagging or 'ptosis' of the eyebrows also contributes to sagging upper eyelids. The result is an aged, tired, angry or sad appearance. Upper eyelids can sag so much that they actually interfere with vision. When the brow sags too much and vision is affected by sagging upper eyelids, wrinkles in the forehead often deepen because the person raises the eyebrows to improve vision.

Browlift surgery, also called a forehead lift, may elevate the brow into a preferred position, smooth out forehead wrinkles and lessen frown lines that develop between the eyes near the nose.

To achieve the best outcome for some patients, your surgeon, Mr Beagley, may recommend that the browlift surgery and upper eyelid reduction surgery be done at the same time.
