measuring excess skin for removal before blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty at Maldon Eye Clinic

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a transformative procedure designed to rejuvenate the eyes by addressing excess skin, fat, or muscle around the eyelids. Whether performed for cosmetic reasons, to reduce puffiness and sagging, or for functional purposes, such as improving vision obstructed by drooping eyelids, blepharoplasty can significantly enhance both appearance and comfort.

At Maldon Eye Clinic, our expert oculoplastic surgeons specialise in personalised blepharoplasty procedures that are tailored to meet each patient’s unique needs. During surgery, we carefully remove excess skin, tighten the surrounding muscles, and reposition fat pads, restoring a more youthful, refreshed appearance. For upper eyelid surgery, this often involves making a discreet incision along the natural eyelid crease, while lower eyelid procedures may focus on smoothing under-eye bags or removing loose skin.

This surgery is performed on a day case basis under local anaesthesia, ensuring a safe, comfortable experience for our patients. The procedure typically has a short recovery time, with most patients resuming normal activities within a week, although some residual swelling or bruising may take up to two weeks to fully resolve.

At Maldon Eye Clinic, we understand the delicate nature of the eyelid area and provide comprehensive care, from your initial consultation to postoperative recovery. Our goal is to help you achieve not only enhanced aesthetics but also improved eye health and function, restoring confidence and comfort. If you’re considering blepharoplasty, our team is here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring beautiful, natural results.
