Eyelid Reconstruction
Consultant-led eye care using modern diagnostic and surgical techniques.
BOOK A CONSULTATION MEET OUR SURGEONSWhat is Eyelid Reconstruction?
Eyelid Reconstruction is a specialist surgical procedure performed to restore the appearance, function, and protection of the eyelid following injury, skin cancer removal, trauma, or the excision of other eyelid lesions. The eyelids play a vital role in protecting the eye, maintaining healthy vision, and distributing tears across the eye's surface, making careful reconstruction essential.
The procedure is tailored to the size, location, and complexity of the defect. Depending on your needs, reconstruction may involve direct closure, skin grafts, local tissue flaps, or more advanced reconstructive techniques. Your consultant ophthalmologist will recommend the most appropriate approach to achieve the best functional and cosmetic outcome.
At Battersea Hospital, our experienced oculoplastic surgeons combine advanced reconstructive techniques with meticulous surgical expertise to restore both the health and natural appearance of the eyelid.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know.
Appointments and Consultations
What is eyelid reconstruction?
Eyelid reconstruction is surgery performed to repair and rebuild the eyelid following injury, skin cancer removal, trauma, or the removal of other eyelid lesions.
Will my eyelid look normal after surgery?
Our surgeons use advanced reconstructive techniques to restore both eyelid function and appearance. While every case is different, the aim is always to achieve the most natural-looking result possible.
Is eyelid reconstruction performed under general anaesthetic?
Many procedures can be performed under local anaesthetic with sedation, while more complex cases may require a general anaesthetic. Your consultant will advise which option is most suitable.
How long is the recovery?
Most swelling and bruising improve within one to two weeks, although complete healing and scar maturation can continue for several months.
Will I need follow-up appointments?
Yes. Regular follow-up appointments allow your surgeon to monitor healing, assess the surgical outcome, and ensure your eyelid is functioning normally.
