Upper Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) and Brow Rejuvenation: Restore a Refreshed, Youthful Look
Restore a bright, youthful look with upper eyelid surgery. By removing excess skin and subtly recontouring the area above the eyes, this procedure lifts and refreshes your appearance for a naturally rejuvenated look.
Book a ConsultationBlepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a highly effective cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of your eyes by addressing drooping eyelids, eye bags, and excess skin.
What is blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the eyelids.
It involves the removal or repositioning of excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids.
This procedure is designed to address issues such as drooping upper eyelids, under-eye bags, and sagging skin, which can make you look tired or older than you feel. Blepharoplasty can also enhance vision by removing sagging skin that may obstruct the visual field.
Brow Recontouring
Enhance Your Eyes and Restore a Youthful Look
As we age, the descent of facial tissues, including the eyebrows, often contributes to what patients perceive as upper eyelid heaviness or sagging. This brow descent can impart a tired or stern appearance. Brow re-contouring surgery aims to counteract these changes, opening up the eyes and leading to a more youthful, rested look.
Types of Brow Lift:
- Toxin Brow Lift: For patients without severe facial ageing seeking a subtle lift, muscle-relaxing injections can achieve a slight elevation of the brow. The brow arch is lifted into a higher position by weakening the depressor muscles that pull the eyebrows downward. This method also smooths out frown lines across the brow. Results are temporary, lasting between three and six months.
- Hidden or Internal Brow Lift (Browpexy): An alternative to the surgical brow lift or toxin brow lift is the hidden or internal brow lift, also known as a browpexy.
- Direct Brow Lift: A meticulously created fine-line incision just on the edge of the eyebrow can provide effective recontouring of the brow position and shape in select patients. This approach is particularly beneficial for those with significant brow sagging or asymmetry. While there will be a scar, it is carefully placed to be least noticeable and typically flattens when healed. Patients can return to normal activities within two weeks as bruising and swelling subside. Results can last up to a decade.
Blepharoplasty surgery is typically performed under local anaesthesia, with or without sedation, depending on your specific needs and preferences.

Kirsty BlepharoplastyFrom start to finish, I felt listened to and reassured throughout my eye procedure. The warmth and care I received made the whole experience so much easier. Even after surgery, I knew I could reach out at any time for advice, and no question was left unanswered. The recovery was smooth thanks to the clear aftercare instructions, and I always felt well looked after. I’m so grateful for the amazing care I received!
Margaret Removal of eyelid cystI had a small procedure to remove a sebaceous lump from my eye, and the results have been fantastic – it looks like I’ll have no scarring at all. From the initial consultation to the follow-up, everything was handled with professionalism and care. The entire team was welcoming, and the clinic itself had a lovely atmosphere. A great experience overall.
Gillian Removal of eye cystsThe service I received at OCL was outstanding. I had two hard white lumps on my chin and under my eye, which had been misdiagnosed elsewhere. Thankfully, the expert at OCL quickly identified the issue and gently treated it with dissolving injections. The lumps, which had bothered me for so long, disappeared almost instantly. I’m beyond pleased with the results and will absolutely return for any future treatments.
Lisa Ptosis surgeryI’m absolutely delighted with my eyelid surgery results. Droopy lids had been bothering me for years, and I finally decided to take the plunge. The entire process was smooth, pain-free, and my recovery was quicker than I ever expected. I’m thrilled with how I look and have already recommended OCL to friends.

Blepharoplasty FAQ's
View knowledge baseAm I a suitable candidate for blepharoplasty?
To determine if you are a good candidate for eye bag removal surgery, there are several factors that need to be considered including:
- General health: You should be in good health without any serious medical conditions that could impair your healing.
- Eye health: It is important that you do not have any eye conditions such as glaucoma or dry eye syndrome.
Are the results of cosmetic eye surgery permanent?
While cosmetic eye surgery can provide long-lasting results, it does not stop the natural aging process. Procedures like blepharoplasty and ptosis correction can significantly improve appearance for many years, but factors such as skin elasticity, lifestyle, and genetics will continue to influence your appearance over time. Regular maintenance treatments and good skincare can help prolong the results.
What are the potential risks and side effects of cosmetic eye surgery?
As with any surgical procedure, cosmetic eye surgery carries potential risks and side effects. These may include infection, scarring, dry eyes, difficulty closing the eyes, and changes in vision. Non-surgical treatments may have side effects like bruising, swelling, and temporary discomfort. It is crucial to discuss all potential risks with your surgeon and follow their pre- and post-operative care instructions to minimise complications and ensure the best possible outcome.
