Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) at IOES: A Brighter, Refreshed Look
Reclaim Your Natural Confidence — With Eyes That Reflect How You Feel
Are your eyes telling a story you’re not feeling? Heavy lids, under-eye bags, or drooping skin can make you look more tired, stressed, or older than you are — even when you feel bright and energised inside.
At the Institute of Eye Surgery (IOES), we offer consultant-led blepharoplasty — a safe, effective surgical solution to lift and refine the appearance of your upper or lower eyelids. The goal? A more open, youthful, rested look that still feels like you.
What Is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is a procedure that removes or repositions excess skin, fat, and muscle around the eyelids. It can be performed on the upper lids, lower lids, or both — depending on your goals and anatomy.
At IOES, our eyelid surgeries are always performed by highly experienced consultant ophthalmic surgeons — specialists in both vision and aesthetics. This means you’re not just in expert hands — you’re in the right hands.
Common reasons patients choose eyelid surgery:
- Drooping upper lids that obscure vision or make eyes appear heavy
- Puffiness or bags under the eyes
- Wrinkled or crepey lower eyelid skin
- A desire for a more refreshed, rested appearance
Who Is a Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?
You may be a good fit for blepharoplasty if:
- You’re in good general health
- You’re noticing changes to your eyelid skin or eye shape with age
- You’re bothered by how your eyes appear, whether functionally or cosmetically
- You want natural-looking results — not a drastic change
During your consultation, your surgeon will assess your eyelid structure, skin quality, and overall eye health — and will discuss your goals in depth.
What to Expect: Your Blepharoplasty Journey at IOES
Step 1: Your Consultation
You’ll meet directly with your surgeon. They’ll examine your eyes, take medical photos, and talk through your goals, options, and any concerns. You’ll get clear, transparent advice about whether eyelid surgery is appropriate — or if a non-surgical option may suit you better.
Step 2: Your Procedure
Blepharoplasty is typically done under local anaesthetic with or without light sedation. It’s a day procedure, meaning you go home the same day.
- For upper eyelids: A small incision is made in the crease to remove or reposition tissue.
- For lower eyelids: The incision is placed just beneath the lash line or inside the eyelid (transconjunctival approach).
Step 3: Recovery
Most clients experience mild swelling or bruising for about 1–2 weeks. We’ll provide clear aftercare instructions, and you’ll have follow-up appointments to ensure everything is healing well.
Step 4: Results
You’ll begin seeing results as swelling resolves — often within 2 weeks, with continued improvement over 1–3 months. The outcome is a more rested, open appearance that still looks like you.
