Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a precise surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes by removing excess skin, fat, or muscle from the upper or lower eyelids. This treatment addresses common concerns such as droopy eyelids, puffiness, and under-eye bags, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed look. Eyelid surgery not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but can also improve vision by eliminating sagging skin that may obstruct the field of view.

Pricing

The costs of blepharoplasty at iQonic Aesthetics start from £3,950 for upper blepharoplasty and £6,750 for lower  blepharoplasty.

Benefits

Restores a youthful, alert appearance to the eyes: By removing excess skin and fat, eyelid surgery helps eliminate signs of ageing, such as drooping eyelids or puffiness, making the eyes appear more open and lively.
Reduces puffiness and bags under the eyes: The procedure specifically targets and removes or repositions the fat causing under-eye bags, leading to a smoother and more refreshed look.
Enhances facial symmetry and overall aesthetics: By correcting imbalances or asymmetries in the eyelids, the surgery contributes to a more balanced and harmonious facial appearance.
Improves peripheral vision in cases where sagging eyelids impair sight: For those with significantly drooping upper eyelids, the surgery can remove the excess skin that obstructs vision, thereby improving the field of view.
Provides long-lasting results with minimal scarring: The effects of eyelid surgery are typically long-lasting, and because the incisions are made along natural eyelid creases, any resulting scars are usually well-concealed and fade over time.

What to Expect

Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation at iQonic, where our experienced surgeons will assess your unique needs and discuss your aesthetic goals. This personalised approach ensures that you receive a treatment plan tailored specifically to you, covering all aspects of the procedure, potential outcomes, and any questions you may have.
Procedure: The eyelid surgery is performed with precision, usually under local or general anaesthesia, depending on your specific case. The procedure involves carefully removing or repositioning excess skin, fat, and muscle to achieve the desired results.
Surgery Day: On the day of surgery, you can expect to be at the clinic for several hours. Most patients are able to go home the same day, with clear aftercare instructions provided by our team to ensure a smooth recovery process.
Recovery: Post-surgery, mild swelling and bruising around the eyes are normal and typically subside within one to two weeks. You’ll receive detailed aftercare guidance to help manage any discomfort and speed up the healing process.
