Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Consultant-led eye care using modern diagnostic and surgical techniques.
Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure designed to refresh the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids by removing excess skin, fat and tissue. Whether you're concerned about drooping upper eyelids, under-eye bags or a tired appearance, eyelid surgery can restore a brighter, more youthful look while maintaining your natural facial expression.
At Battersea Hospital, our experienced consultant plastic surgeons perform personalised eyelid surgery using advanced techniques to achieve subtle, natural-looking results that rejuvenate the eyes without appearing overdone.
BOOK A CONSULTATION MEET OUR SURGEONSWhat is Eyelid Surgery?
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure that rejuvenates the upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both by removing or repositioning excess skin, muscle and fat.
As we age, the delicate skin around the eyes gradually loses elasticity, causing the upper eyelids to droop and the lower eyelids to develop puffiness or under-eye bags. These changes can make you appear tired, older or even interfere with your vision if excess upper eyelid skin becomes severe.
Blepharoplasty restores a smoother, firmer appearance around the eyes while preserving their natural shape and expression. Depending on your needs, the procedure may focus on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both.
Many patients choose to combine eyelid surgery with procedures such as a brow lift or facelift for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know.
Appointments and Consultations
What can eyelid surgery improve?
Blepharoplasty can improve drooping upper eyelids, under-eye bags, excess skin and a tired or aged appearance around the eyes.
Will the scars be visible?
Incisions are carefully hidden within the natural eyelid creases or just below the lash line, making scars very discreet once healed.
Can eyelid surgery improve my vision?
If excess upper eyelid skin is obstructing your vision, blepharoplasty may improve your field of vision as well as your appearance.
How long is the recovery?
Most patients return to work and normal activities within one to two weeks, although mild swelling may persist for several weeks.
Will I still look like myself?
Yes. The aim is to refresh the eye area while preserving your natural facial expressions and unique appearance.
How long do the results last?
Results are long-lasting, although the natural ageing process continues over time.
Can blepharoplasty be combined with other procedures?
Yes. It is commonly combined with a brow lift, facelift or facial fat transfer for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
When will I see my final results?
Most swelling settles within a few weeks, with final results becoming fully visible after approximately two to three months.
