About Blepharoplasty
In these toggles, we’ve provided some general information about the procedure. For specific information about how we can help you, contact us for a consultation.
As you age, your skin loses its elasticity and begins to sag. This sagging happens especially around the eyes and can result in:
- Excess skin that causes wrinkles and bags
- Fatty tissue deposits that cause the upper or lower lid to appear puffy
- Dark circles
- Weakened eye muscles
The extent of the sagging varies from one individual to the next and can result in a sad, tired, and aged appearance. In some cases, it can interfere with the peripheral field of vision.
Eyelid lift/ blepharoplasty effectively addresses this problem by excision excess skin and repositioning the prolapsed fat.
We can solve this problem with a simple eyelid lift, performed with either local anaesthesia and sedation, or under general anaesthesia depending on your preference and any medical conditions. On average, the surgery takes around 20-25 minutes for each eyelid, and the recovery period is about a week.
There is no need to worry about scaring as we can hide the upper eyelid incision in your existing skin crease. For the lower eyelid, the incision is hardly perceptible as it is hidden just under your eyelashes. In some cases, I make an incision within your conjunctiva, so there is no visible scar at all. I usually reposition the prolapsing fat, to avoid a “hollow” eye look which gives a better appearance.
We usually remove stitches within a week, and the scar is hardly perceptible after the first few weeks.
As you age, It is common for your excess upper eyelid skin to be worsened by the descent of the eyebrow. For an optimum outcome, we can combine blepharoplasty with brow/forehead lift.
The result is a fresher, more awake eye without any undue bulging or shadows.

Hear what our patients have to say
Our reputation rests on the experience of our patients
“Mr. Supriya operated on my daughter Mia earlier this year carrying out a septoplasty and surgery to both turbinates. I am a nurse myself and have worked for many years in the operating theatre and cosmetic industry so I am used to dealing with surgeons. Mr Supriya is an amazing person, not only a very competent surgeon but a very kind caring man who put himself out completely to help and accommodate Mia for her surgery. For the first time in 12 years Mia can breathe properly so to say we are grateful is an understatement.”
“I was there for my medical examination. From setting up appointments, registration, consultation and check up process, all staff and Mrinal himself were exceptional. I would highly recommend the clinic and I am very happy with the results of my treatment.”
“I have received only what I can describe as world class treatment from Mr Supriya. His care & professionalism has been a comfort for me from day one.”
“Dr Supriya was very friendly, professional, and put me at ease straight away. He spent time talking to me about specifically what I wanted and gave me his honest advice. Consultations were always very positive, and I didn’t feel nervous for my surgery.”
“The result from my surgery was fantastic – it was exactly what I wanted. I had an open septorhinoplasty, and as soon as I came out of surgery I could breathe much better than before. To my surprise, I didn’t experience any noticeable facial bruising or swelling at any point in my recovery.”
“The results were so natural-looking that no one at work could tell I had anything done! I am delighted with my experience overall, and would certainly recommend Dr Supriya to anyone interested in cosmetic surgery, particularly rhinoplasty.”
“My experience has been amazing from the first consultation till the surgery and even after the surgery. The support and care given by Steve (Patient Coordinator) and my surgeon Dr Mrinal Supriya has been amazing and comforting. I am very pleased with the results so far and I couldn’t be happier.”
