Oculoplastic Procedures at Maldon Eye Clinic
At Maldon Eye Clinic, we specialise in a variety of oculoplastic procedures, including blepharoplasty (cosmetic eyelid surgery) and treatments for eyelid conditions such as blepharitis, entropion, ectropion, ptosis surgery and management of eyelid lesions. These procedures are performed as day case surgeries, meaning patients can return home the same day, following the completion of their surgery, without the need for an overnight stay.
All of our oculoplastic surgeries are carried out under local anaesthesia, ensuring that the patient remains comfortable and relaxed during the procedure. If a patient prefers or requires general anaesthesia, this can be discussed with the surgeon during the consultation, and arrangements will be made accordingly to ensure the best possible care.
Referral and Consultation Process
To make an appointment at Maldon Eye Clinic, you will need a referral from either your optician or GP. However, if you are considering blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), a referral is not always strictly necessary, though it is generally advisable to seek a referral from your GP to ensure that all medical factors are properly considered.
Your initial consultation at our clinic is typically scheduled for 30 minutes, providing ample time for the surgeon to assess your condition, discuss your symptoms, and develop a personalised treatment plan. Should surgery be deemed necessary, a suitable date for the procedure will be arranged during this consultation.
Aftercare and Recovery
After eyelid surgery, it is common to experience bruising and mild swelling of the eyelids, which generally resolves within two weeks. During this period, our team at Maldon Eye Clinic will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and minimise discomfort. We are always available for follow-up care to ensure that the healing process is progressing smoothly.
