Bleph – Upper and Lower Droopy Eyelid Correction Clinic in London

At our Greenford clinic during plastic surgery consultations we advise patients that as we age, our skin loses elasticity, collagen. This is important not only to the surgeon during assessment but also can cause skin sagging, drooping, and wrinkles in patients. This can be due to our genetics, sun damage and the natural aging process. While loose skin may not be seen as a problem for some patients, for others, droopy eyelids can cause problems – including difficulty seeing, headaches, social embarrassment. Droopy eyelids can cause your eyelashes to fall over your field of vision, forcing you to develop a habbit of raising your forehead that lifts eyebrows but simultaneously it causes wrinkles in the area. But there are procedures available at Eskulap Clinic to help turn back the clock – upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty, also known as an eyelift. The so called ‘Bleph’ can help to improve the appearance of your eyes by reducing excess skin and fat while tightening the muscles around the eyes. There are many benefits to having an eyelift, and the results can be life-changing. That’s why at Eskulap we create a more youthful appearance uncovering a better version of you.

What does upper and lower eyelid surgery look like?

At the beginning of the procedure, the operating field should be properly prepared and rinsed with a disinfectant. After the doctor specifically selects the treatment area, which allows the incision process to be determined and the new appearance of the eyelids and eyes to be shaped, the incision preparation process is carried out.

Anesthesia can take many forms, the most common of which is local anesthesia. Thanks to this, patients after eyelid surgery can be discharged even on the same day.

An incision is made on the upper eyelid from the ciliary border to the outer corner of the eye. Thereafter, excess skin is excised and removed from the above-mentioned areas to reduce the amount and weight of soft tissue.

In the next part, plastic surgery of the upper and lower eyelids consists in moving the excess eyelid tissue over the resulting defect. Eyelid surgery ends with the so-called supplementation of the operating field. There are stitches on the eyelids, an antibiotic ointment and sterile dressings.

At our Clinic in London, we offer patients plastic surgery procedures and consultations with Dr Małgorzata Lewicka-Kisiel – a specialist in face and neck surgery.
