Refresh upper eyelids that look heavy or hooded because of excess skin and tissue. Upper blepharoplasty is planned around your eye shape, lid function and any effect on vision, aiming for a more defined eyelid contour while preserving normal closure and a natural appearance.

Eye-area consultation

What is upper eyelid surgery?

Upper blepharoplasty uses an incision in the natural eyelid crease to remove or reshape selected skin, fat and muscle tissue. The incision is closed with fine sutures, followed by planned wound care and review.

Eye-area assessment during a consultation

When do you choose this treatment?

Consider upper blepharoplasty when significant excess skin or hooding affects your upper eyelids. A surgeon assesses eye health, lid shape and any effect on vision before recommending the surgical approach.

Upper Blepharoplasty safety

Safety of Surgical Instruments, Medicines and Sutures

Surgical planning includes an examination, review of your medicines and a discussion of recovery and complications. Risks include bleeding, infection, scarring, dry eyes, asymmetry and changes in eyelid function. Severe eye pain or a change in vision needs urgent assessment.

Treatment process

Here’s what to expect at each stage, from your consultation to your follow-up.

Before and aftercare

Before the treatment

Share your medical history, allergies, medicines and previous procedures, and do not stop prescribed medicine unless the prescribing clinician advises it. Arrange transport if sedation is planned, follow fasting instructions and report infection, eye irritation or a change in vision.

After the treatment

Use prescribed eye care, cold compresses and head elevation as directed, protect the wound and seek urgent help for severe pain, bleeding or any visual change.

Results

The eyes begin to look more open as early swelling settles over 1-2 weeks after removal of excess upper-eyelid tissue. The result is reviewed after 2-3 months, with long-lasting contour improvement and scars continuing to mature for up to a year.

Pricing

Exact treatment planning and pricing are confirmed during consultation.

Prices may vary depending on product, amount, and treatment combination.

Find direct answers about Upper Blepharoplasty, suitability, results, and aftercare.

No. Brow position and eyelid function also matter. Your surgeon examines these together before explaining whether upper-eyelid surgery addresses the cause of the heaviness.

Appointments usually take 60-180 minutes. Early changes are usually seen within 1-2 weeks. The final result is reviewed after 2-3 months, and scars continue to mature for up to a year. Surgical improvement is long-lasting, although ageing and tissue change continue. Routine wound and scar reviews are arranged, with later treatment only if medically needed.

Discomfort is typically rated 2-3 out of 10. The anaesthesia plan is discussed with your surgeon before treatment. Downtime is usually 7-14 days. Most patients plan 7-14 days away from social or demanding work. Moderate eyelid swelling commonly peaks in the first 2-3 days and improves over 1-2 weeks.

Use prescribed eye care, cold compresses and head elevation as directed, protect the wound and seek urgent help for severe pain, bleeding or any visual change.
