    Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty Essex

    Do you have loose or sagging skin around your eyes? Do you suffer from blurred vision as a result of this excess skin?

    As well as making you appear older than you are, excess skin around the eyelids is far from a purely cosmetic concern and can be very serious, even affecting your vision and ability to read or drive.

    Here at the Aesthetics Of Essex, we have the solution for you – Blepharoplasty Essex eyelid surgery.

    What is Blepharoplasty Essex eyelid surgery?

    Simply put, Blepharoplasty Essex is a minor surgical procedure that removes excess fat, skin, and wasted muscle from the upper and lower eyelids to clear the eyes – and also give a more youthful appearance.

    As one of the key signs of ageing is loose or sagging skin in the eyelid area, hooded eyes can cause people to look older than they actually are, tired, and even angry.

    Also known as:

    Upper eyelid surgery, upper Blepharoplasty Essex , or upper eyelid Blepharoplasty Essex

    Lower eyelid surgery, lower blepharoplasty, or lower eyelid blepharoplasty surgery

    Eyelid lift surgery or hooded eye surgery

     

    Blepharoplasty Essex can be personalised to target the eyelid area most in need of clearing or be used on both the upper and lower eyelids – called a double blepharoplasty.

    It is important not to confuse blepharoplasty eyelid surgery with a brow lift – these are entirely different cosmetic surgery procedures with very different results.

    Can I get blepharoplasty?

    A good candidate for blepharoplasty eyelid surgery includes those with:

    Baggy or droopy upper eyelids

    Excess skin of the upper eyelids that partially blocks peripheral vision

    Excess skin on the lower eyelids

    Permanent bags under the eyes

     

    To determine if upper or lower eyelid surgery is right for you, you are welcome to speak to our experienced team today. If reconstructive surgery on the upper or lower lids would help, we can then book you in for your blepharoplasty consultation.

    How do you remove excess skin during blepharoplasty?

    As you might expect, even though blepharoplasty is classed as minimally invasive eyelid surgery, eliminating excess skin, muscle, and fat around the eyes is delicate work.

    As such, we have a specialist GMC-registered plastic surgeon who carries out the blepharoplasty in Essex.

     

    Before Blepharoplasty Essex Surgery

    Before your treatment, our surgeon will complete a number of checks, to properly prepare for the blepharoplasty surgery, which can include:

    An eye exam – to test tear production or measure the eyelids

    Vision field testing – to check for blind spots

    Eyelid photography – which helps them to plan the blepharoplasty procedure and also gives excellent before and afters for patients to reflect on!

    Then, you will be given a local anaesthetic in either your upper or lower eyelid so you will feel no pain. You may feel some gentle pressure or movement, but no pain in your numb eyelids – making your blepharoplasty much more comfortable.

     

    During blepharoplasty treatment

    As you would expect, eyelid surgery differs depending on whether you are removing excess tissue on the upper eyelid or the lower eyelid.

    For the upper eyelid, the surgeon cuts along the fold of the eyelid and removes excess skin, muscle, and fat. Then the surgery site will be closed.

    If you have opted for lower eyelid surgery, the GMC-registered surgeon will make an incision just below the lashes in the eye’s natural crease or inside the lower lid. Then, they will reposition excess fat or remove excess skin and muscle before closing the incision.

     

    After eyelid surgery

    Blepharoplasty eyelid surgery will take around 45 minutes to an hour and you will be able to go home to recover.

    Over the next 10-14 days, you might notice the following symptoms – all of which are to be expected:

    Blurred vision and watering eyes

    Light sensitivity and even double vision

    Puffy, numb eyelids

    Swelling and bruising – you may develop black eyes

    Soreness or discomfort around the incision lines and the eyelids overall

     

    To help you recover, you should:

    Use ice packs or cold compresses carefully over your eyes for 10 minutes in every hour the night after surgery – this should reduce swelling.

    The following day, continue to use these ice packs 4 to 5 times throughout the day, 10 minutes at a time.

    Use any prescribed eye drops or ointments as directed.

    Sleep with your head raised higher than your chest for 2-3 days.

    Wear sunglasses with UV400 protection to limit sun exposure and wind – this will reduce scarring.

    Benefits of blepharoplasty eyelid surgery

    While it can seem like a big step, the blepharoplasty eyelid surgery results can be staggering and last a lifetime – just browse our patient transformations below to see for yourself.

    By removing excess tissue, the eyes appear bigger, brighter, and more expressive and the visual field is cleared.

    Upper eyelids and lower eyelid areas appear retracted, stopping the eye socket from feeling and looking crowded, which can take years off you.

    Similarly, everyday tasks, like fitting contact lenses or putting on make-up, can be made much easier – though please don’t try this until you are fully healed as you could irritate the incision lines.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Am I a suitable candidate for blepharoplasty?

    Ideal candidates are in good health, with realistic expectations about what can be achieved with this procedure. Blepharoplasty is typically performed on clients aged 35 and over. But if droopy eyelids run in the family, you may decide to have eyelid surgery much earlier in life. It can be used to:

    • remove excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids
    • remove excess skin and fat from the lower eyelid
    • reduce eye bags
    • reduce lines and creases around the eyes
    • improve peripheral vision

    To establish whether blepharoplasty surgery is the right treatment for you – and the results you wish to achieve – the best option is to book an initial consultation with our team of experts, here at Aesthetics of Essex.

    How is eyelid surgery performed?

    Blepharoplasty is performed by our plastic surgeon, Ricardo Tejero, in the minor operations room in Rayleigh.

    Detailed information on the procedure can be found in our blog – Blepharoplasty 101. But essentially, a small incision is made along the natural crease of the eyelid. Excess skin and fat are then removed from the eyelid and your sutures will be removed five days post-treatment by our nurse.

    Who is Ricardo Tejero?

    Dr Ricardo Tejero plastic reconstruction surgeonRicardo Tejero (GMC  No. 4286916 full registration) is an extremely well-educated and highly qualified plastic reconstruction surgeon, who specialises in intricate hand surgery. Although originally from Spain, Dr Tejero is fully-fluent in the language and has spent many years working with the NHS.

    For example, he has worked at:

    • Guys & St Thomas Hospital
    • Chelsea & Westminster
    • University Hospital Birmingham
    • Countess of Chester Hospital
    • Stoke Mandeville Hospital
    • Addenbrook Hospital
    • Diana Princess of Wales Children’s Hospital

     

    Reconstruction surgeons are well-known for being perfectionists, due to the accuracy and steady hand needed when treating the delicate bones, for instance in the face and hands. This is why Ricardo is truly the best at creating a beautiful and subtle eyelid/brow lift. And if you choose to have blepharoplasty at our clinic, you can rest assured, you’re in very capable and experienced hands.

    Is blepharoplasty painful?

    Eyelid surgery is either performed under local anaesthetic (with sedation) or general anaesthesia. So, you won’t feel any pain during the procedure itself. Some swelling, irritation and bruising may occur post-treatment; however, painkillers, eye drops and ice packs can be used to minimise discomfort.

    How much does blepharoplasty cost?

    This depends on the extent of the surgery. We currently charge £1,950 for an upper eye lift. But for more information, it’s worth booking a consultation. This gives us an opportunity to discuss your needs and wishes, recommend the best course of treatment, and provide further details on the cost of your specific eyelid surgery.

    What does post eyelid surgery recovery involve?

    Your surgeon will provide you with detailed instructions regarding post-operative care. It is crucial to follow these instructions diligently to promote healing and achieve the best possible results.

    Applying cold pressure on your eyes can help to reduce swelling and you should try to keep your head elevated and protect your eyes, particularly when sleeping.

    You should also keep the surgical area clean and be sure to attend your follow up appointments with your surgeon to assess how the healing process is progressing.

    It’s crucial to consult your surgeon for a personalised post-treatment care plan based on your specific needs to speed up the healing process.
