This case highlights the importance of eyelid surgery in improving a person’s appearance and restoring self-confidence, as well as how cosmetic procedures can alter a person’s appearance.

This is what you should usually expect after surgery.

There is a lot to talk about regarding surgery.

Frequently asked questions.

When would eyelid surgery / blepharoplasty be done?

When would eyelid reduction surgery be performed?

Patients choose to have blepharoplasty surgery in Manchester,

Liverpoolor nearby for both cosmetic and medical reasons.

Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery

Cosmetic eyelid surgery is performed purely

for cosmetic improvement. Unfortunately during the ageing process,

your upper or lower eyelids may become droopy or baggy. You may

also find your eyebrows sag or droop as well. In this instance

to achieve a more youthful appearance cosmetic eyelid surgery

may be performed.

Medical Eyelid Surgery

A functional eye lift may be done to remove loose skin from the

upper eyelid in cases where it droops low enough to affect

a person’s vision for driving and

other visual requirements. Other people may find difficulty

in wearing contact lenses and hence be a candidate for eyelid surgery.

Other medical conditions that may suggest a need for eyelid

surgery include:

Irritation around

the eye area due to the excess skin around the eyelid rubbing

together.

Discomfort and pain around the forehead due to the person

constantly having to overuse the muscles to lift the skin in the

eyelid area.

Is eyelid surgery just for women?

Both men and women can eyelid reduction / Blepharoplasty surgery.

Many people still believe that this type of cosmetic surgery

is mainly performed on Women. Mr El Gawad is a plastic

surgeon with over a decade of cosmetic surgery experience.

Mr El Gawad indicates that the number of men, booking in to

have eyelid surgery, is rising every year.

Is there any alternatives to eyelid surgery?

If you have significant sagging of the eyelids, or around the

eye area, unfortunately there isn’t a good alternative to having

blepharoplasty surgery.

In these cases surgery is the only option.

However in milder cases, when the signs of aging are not

as obvious, patients may choose to have non surgical

treatments as an alternative. The results however

would not be as dramatic to those who have gone ahead and

had eyelid surgery.

For those patients who are looking for an alternative to

eyelid surgery and have much milder symptoms, they may consider

treatments such as:

For the lower eyelid a combination of injectable fillers and

resurfacing techniques such as laser or chemical peel.

For the upper eyes they may be a good candidate for

a brow lift or a non surgical brow lift using Botox injections.

It must be noted that the results will never be as good with the non

surgical options that you would get from going ahead and getting

eyelid or eyebrow surgery. But for those who are wanting a more

subtle result with little downtime then the non surgical options are

definitely viable.

Can I get eyelid surgery on the NHS?

The NHS will sometimes cover the cost of Blepharoplasty surgery

if your excess skin is affecting your vision. Or is the eyelids are so

heavy that you struggle to open them. The NHS will not do eyelid

surgery for cosmetic reasons.

Is eyelid surgery permanent?

The eyes will continue to age after you have had eyelid surgery.

Lower eyelid surgery is very long lasting and rarely needs to be

done again. If the upper lids sag again with the normal aging

process, many patients decide to have a forehead lift rather than

having another eye lift.

Can blepharoplasty surgery improve your vision?

Skin that sags around the eye area not only makes you appear to

be older, but it can also reduce your peripheral (side) vision and

especially the upper and outer parts within your field of vision.

Eyelid surgery can reduce or eliminate problems with your vision.

It can also make the eye area appear younger and much more alert.
