Candidates have symptomatic hooding, visual field interference or persistent “bags” not improved by skincare. Suitability depends on brow position, skin laxity, tear film and general health, confirmed at consultation.
Upper: a fine line hidden in the natural crease. Lower: often internal (no external scar) when fat is addressed; a short lash-line incision may be used for skin/tightening. We plan for discretion and provide scar-care guidance.
Bruising and swelling peak at 48–72 hours and settle over 1–2 weeks. Stitches (if used) are usually removed at 5–7 days. Many return to desk work in 7–10 days; refinement continues over 6–12 weeks.
General: bleeding, infection, scars, asymmetry, dry eye/irritation, temporary blurred vision. Specific: lid malposition (ectropion/lagophthalmos), hollowing, need for revision. Serious vision loss is very rare. Full consent is provided.
Blepharoplasty treats eyelid skin/fat. If eyebrow descent or eyelid muscle ptosis is present, we may recommend a brow lift or ptosis repair—sometimes staged—to address the underlying cause.
