Eyelid Rejuvenation at Elanic

A blepharoplasty—which you may also know as an eyelid reduction—is an operation that reshapes the eyelids, correcting both cosmetic and functional issues in equal measure. An upper eyelid reduction can improve your vision and make you look younger, while a lower eyelid adjustment can effectively reduce the presence of fine lines, wrinkles, and puffiness.

How Blepharoplasty Can Help

With age, our muscles slacken and the skin loses its elasticity. For the eyelids, this results in folds in the upper lids, as well as a series of potentially deepening creases in the lower lids.

Additionally, the slackening of muscle beneath the skin allows the fat that cushions your eyes in their sockets to bulge forwards, adding to a baggy and puffy appearance. In some patients, there is an inherited tendency for bags to develop during early adulthood. Blepharoplasty can help by removing excess fat and skin from the lower eyelids, the upper eyelids, or both. In addition to correcting potential issues with vision impairment, this procedure results in a brighter, more youthful, and welcoming appearance.

Your Blepharoplasty Procedure

During blepharoplasty, the surgeon will make an incision in the natural crease of your eye, removing the excess skin before suturing the wound with very fine stitches. This procedure can be performed under a local anaesthetic and is often completed as a day case in our Glasgow Clinic. This significantly reduces the amount of recovery time and overall invasiveness in your daily life.

Some patients choose to only have excess skin removed from their upper eyelids, while others might prefer eye bag removal from the lower eyelids. Some patients even choose to have both areas operated on, for an overall rejuvenation of the upper and lower eyes in tandem. During your consultation, your surgeon will talk you through all of the relevant details pertaining to your surgery.

Correct Your Sagging Lids

Folds, creases, and bagginess often seem worse in the morning, particularly after periods of stress and a lack of sleep. This is due to fluid that would normally be distributed throughout the body when it is upright, settling in areas where the skin is loose—such as the eyelids—as you lie down. The ageing process can also cause drooping of the eyelids, and folds of skin to gather in the upper eyelids. Sometimes there is so much skin that the upper lids hang over the eyelashes. If these issues sound familiar to you, the talented team at Elanic is here to help.

Led by Dr. Vivek Sivarjan, the Elanic surgical staff is comprised of a number of highly-experienced practitioners who are dedicated full-time to their specialties. This enables us to create results that truly soar above and beyond our peers, and has earned us a reputation as the busiest and most trusted clinic in the Glasgow area.

Eyelid Surgery FAQ

What is eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)?

Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. It helps correct drooping eyelids and reduces puffiness, giving you a refreshed, youthful appearance.

Am I a candidate for eyelid surgery?

Ideal candidates for eyelid surgery are individuals with sagging eyelids, under-eye bags, or excess skin around the eyes that cause a tired appearance or interfere with vision. A consultation with Dr. [Name] will help determine if blepharoplasty is right for you.

How long does the recovery process take after eyelid surgery?

Recovery after eyelid surgery usually takes about 1 to 2 weeks, during which time you may experience mild swelling and bruising. Most patients return to work within 1 to 2 weeks, though full results are visible after several months as swelling subsides.

Are the results of eyelid surgery permanent?

While eyelid surgery offers long-lasting results, the natural aging process will continue. However, blepharoplasty can significantly delay the signs of aging around the eyes, and the results typically last for many years, with some patients experiencing permanent improvements.

Is eyelid surgery painful?

Eyelid surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, so the procedure itself is not painful. Afterward, mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising are common but can be managed with prescribed medications. Most patients report minimal pain during the recovery process.
