Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty in London - Transform your eyes to radiate the vibrancy you feel.

It generally takes one week to recover from the initial Eyelid Lift Surgery. During that time, you cannot exercise or put your body under extraneous strain, though you can go about your normal activities. The wound takes 2-4 weeks to heal significantly, and the stitches will be removed between 7-10 days. If you’re curious about the results, you can find many pictures of the upper eyelid blepharoplasty before and after here.

Eyelid Lift Surgery should not make male eyes appear more feminine if correctly performed. Most men have naturally low brows, which are T-shaped (versus a woman’s high, arched brows), and these can cause the eyes to appear “hooded” early on. Due to sagging upper lids and brows, hooded eyelids can affect the upper field of vision like a horse wearing blinkers. When lifting the brow and eyes in men, it is important not to feminise their appearance and to retain their natural T-shape. If you’re looking for eyelid lift surgery in London, Dr. Shah-Desai’s deep knowledge of anatomy allows you to achieve the desired results while ensuring safety.

The potential risks associated with Eyelid Lift Surgery include:
– Bruising, which can last from 1–3 weeks.
– Swelling can be severe in the lower eyelids for 2-3 weeks, even if only the upper lids are operated on.
– Blurring of vision for the first week after the surgery.
– Feelings of irritation, dryness, or excessive tearing may persist for 6 weeks or more.
– Temporary or permanent reduction in blink.
– Swelling and tightness in the eyelids after surgery may cause minor discomfort or pain.
– Temporary dry eye, which can occasionally worsen pre-existing dry eye or blepharitis and may present as eyelid lumps or chalazion that may require further treatment.
– VVisibility of the upper eyelid scar can take 3–6 months to fade. Although 99% of scars hidden in the crease are barely visible, 1% may be pale, thickened, or depressed and may have a different colour.

The cuts are not apparent as they are concealed within the eyelids’ natural creases, beneath the lower lash line, or inside the lower eyelid. Following the healing process, these cuts become unnoticeable.

After the surgery, your vision may be impaired due to eyelid swelling and the use of eye lubricants that we provide. But in a few days, your vision will totally return, and you’ll be able to read without any issues.
