Eye Bag Removal
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eye bag removal, is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the eyelids by removing excess skin, fat and in some cases, muscle. This treatment can help create a more refreshed and youthful appearance around the eyes while also addressing functional concerns, such as impaired vision caused by drooping eyelids.
A Personalised Approach to Eye Rejuvenation
Blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on your individual needs and treatment goals. The procedure is carefully tailored to enhance natural features while maintaining a balanced and natural-looking result.
There are different types of blepharoplasty procedures, each designed to address specific concerns around the eye area. Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty and Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty
Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty focuses on removing excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids. It is commonly performed to improve the appearance of drooping eyelids or to address vision that may be partially obstructed by loose or sagging skin. This procedure can help create a more open and refreshed eye appearance.
Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty targets puffiness, under eye bags and sagging skin beneath the eyes. It may also help improve the appearance of fine lines and create a smoother contour in the under-eye area. This treatment is often chosen by individuals who wish to reduce tired looking or puffy eyes.
What to Expect
Your treatment journey begins with a detailed consultation with one of our experienced surgeons to assess your concerns and to determine whether blepharoplasty is suitable for you. During this consultation, your medical history, skin condition and treatment goals will be carefully reviewed. A personalised treatment plan will then be created, outlining whether upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, or a combination of both is recommended. Before the procedure, you will receive clear guidance on how to prepare for surgery and what to expect during recovery.
Following treatment, our clinical team will provide detailed aftercare instructions and arrange follow-up appointments to monitor healing. Results typically become more noticeable as swelling subsides and the eye area gradually heals.
