Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty in London

Upper eyelid surgery, also known as upper blepharoplasty, is a highly effective procedure to correct drooping, hooded, or sagging eyelids that can make the eyes appear tired or aged. This gold standard treatment removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids, restoring a fresher, more youthful look while also improving eyelid function and peripheral vision.

‍

Performed by Dr Maryam Zamani, a leading eyelid lift surgeon in London, the procedure typically takes less than one hour. Incisions are made along the natural crease of the eyelid, so scars are virtually invisible once healed.

‍

Aesthetic results can be further enhanced when combined with complementary treatments such as CO2 laser resurfacing, Morpheus8 microneedling, or chemical peels. It is important to avoid intense sun exposure for at least one month following the procedure.

Dr Zamani is one of a handful of UK based Doctor treating Dry Eye Syndrome and Rosacea affecting the eye area with BroadBand Light (BBL) technology. BBL works by safely reducing inflammation in the Meibomian Glands of the eyelids; Meibomian Gland Dysfunction causes approximately 50% of dry eyes.  BBL, a form of IPL, helps to improve tear quality and improve patient reported symptoms.

Patients with ocular rosacea have dilated blood vessels known as telangiectasia along the eyelid margin, which contributes to increased eyelid inflammation and can cause meibomian gland dysfunction.  BBL causes photocoagulation of these abnormal blood vessels, helps open the meibomian gland, and liquifies the oil within the gland.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
Treatment requires protective contact lens placement.  There may be mild swelling, redness or crusting of the area for 5-7 days after treatment.   Most patients notice an improvement within days of having the first treatment.  3-4 treatments are recommended at 2-3 week intervals with subsequent yearly touch ups.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS:
BBL is an excellent treatment for dry eyes syndrome and functions to decrease inflammation of the meibomian glands and improve eye comfort.

Pain: Mild

Social Downtime: 1-2 weeks

Results: Are seen within 1 month with continued improvement over 3-6 months

Recommended Course: 3-4 treatments, 2-3 weeks apart with top ups annually

Treats: Rosacea, Photodamage, Age spots, Broken veins & Capillaries, Sun damage, Facial Telangiectasia, Blepharitis, Dry Eyes Syndrome

Treats: Ageing eyes, hooded eyelids, and excess skin

Why Choose Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty?

  • Treats ageing eyes, excess eyelid skin, and hooded eyelids
  • Improves both appearance and vision by lifting the upper eyelid
  • Long-lasting results, typically 7–15 years
  • Minimal scarring thanks to precise incision placement
  • Can be combined with complementary treatments such as CO2 laser resurfacing, Morpheus8 microneedling, or chemical peels

‍

This procedure is ideal for patients seeking an eyelid lift in London to achieve natural-looking, refreshed results.

‍

WHAT TO EXPECT from Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty in London:

During upper eyelid surgery (also known as upper blepharoplasty), the incision is placed carefully along the natural eyelid crease. This allows the surgeon to remove excess skin and fat while leaving a fine, discreet scar that becomes virtually invisible once healed.

‍

For many patients, excess upper eyelid skin not only affects appearance but can also cause functional issues such as reduced peripheral vision, especially in the outer and upper fields of sight. By addressing this, an eyelid lift in London can enhance both aesthetics and day-to-day comfort.

‍

Surgical process:

‍

  • The amount of skin to be removed is precisely marked with the patient in both upright and reclined positions to ensure natural eyelid closure.
  • Local anaesthetic is used to make the procedure comfortable.
  • The surgery usually lasts 30–60 minutes.
  • Fat pads may be trimmed or repositioned to restore a smoother eyelid contour and a youthful appearance.
  • Non-dissolvable sutures are placed under the skin to minimise scarring and are removed after about one week.
Recovery and aftercare:

‍

  • Initial bruising and swelling usually improve within 1–2 weeks, although final results can take several weeks to appear.
  • An antibiotic ointment and artificial tears are prescribed to support healing and comfort.
  • Cold compresses are recommended during the first 48 hours, alongside sleeping with the head elevated to reduce swelling.
  • Most patients return to normal activities the day after surgery, but strenuous exercise should be avoided until reviewed at the first post-operative appointment.
  • Sutures are typically removed after one week, after which eye makeup can usually be resumed.
  • Temporary sensations such as numbness, tightness, or mild dryness may occur but resolve naturally with time.

Complications after upper blepharoplasty are rare. Risks such as infection, bleeding, or delayed healing are uncommon, and serious complications like impaired eyelid closure or vision problems are extremely rare when surgery is performed by an experienced eyelid lift surgeon in London. All risks are fully explained during consultation.

‍

Results typically last between 7–15 years. While the natural ageing process continues, many patients enjoy long-lasting improvements without the need for further procedures. For enhanced results, blepharoplasty can be combined with other surgical or non-surgical treatments, such as skin resurfacing.

‍

BENEFITS OF UPPER EYELID BLEPHAROPLASTY (upper eyelid surgery):

Choosing upper blepharoplasty in London offers both functional and cosmetic benefits:

  • Restores peripheral vision and reduces heaviness caused by excess skin
  • Improves eyelid function and relieves eyelid fatigue
  • Creates smoother, more defined eyelid contours for a refreshed appearance
  • Achieves a natural, youthful look while maintaining harmony with facial features
  • Can be combined with laser therapy or chemical peels to improve skin texture and reduce crepiness

For patients seeking the best blepharoplasty surgeon in London, this procedure offers a safe, precise, and long-lasting solution to tired, hooded eyes.

‍

WHAT TO EXPECT?

By making an incision along the natural eyelid skin fold, it is possible to remove skin and fat and leave only a fine, discrete scar along the natural skin crease of the eye. Excess upper eyelid skin can lead to functional problems in the eye; causing a loss of peripheral vision, especially in the outer and upper parts of the visual field. Initial bruising and swelling resolve in as little as one to two weeks, however, the final outcome of the surgery may not be seen for several weeks.

On the day of surgery, the amount of skin to be removed is carefully marked in an upright position and then rechecked with the patient reclined to ensure that the eyes will close without difficulty after surgery. A local anaesthetic is injected under the skin and the incisions are placed within the eyelid. The procedure generally takes 30-60 minutes. Fat pads that are normally present in the eyelids can be trimmed or repositioned to contour the eyelid for a youthful appearance. Non-dissolvable sutures are placed under the skin to minimize scarring, and bandages may be placed to secure the sutures. These sutures will be removed 1 week later.


Immediately after surgery, you may notice your vision is blurry due to the antibiotic ointment that has been applied during surgery. You will be asked to use this ointment at bedtime in the eye and 
on the wound. Artificial tears will be prescribed to prevent dryness in the postoperative period.
The degree of swelling and potential bruising differs from patient to patient. We will give you cold compresses to use for 10 minutes every hour while awake for the first 48 hours to minimize bruising and swelling. It is encouraged to sleep with 2-3 pillows to help prevent fluid accumulation
and swelling.

Regular daily activities can resume the day of or after surgery, but exercise and strenuous activity should be avoided until after the first postoperative visit. I recommend no driving until after the sutures have been removed. Patients return to 1 week after surgery for examination and suture removal. Eye make up can be resumed 7-10 days after surgery. It is normal to have feelings of numbness along the eyelash margin, tightness of the eyelids and mild dryness temporarily. Most patients do not experience any pain after the surgery.

It is important to keep the eyes dry for the first 48 hours. Hair can be washed. The eyes can be gently washed from days 3-7 and once the sutures are removed at one week, normal washing routines are initiated.

Serious complications after upper eyelid blepharoplasty are rare. However, there are potential
risks and complications as with any surgery: infection, bleeding, and poor wound healing. In an experienced and conservative surgeon’s hands, complications such as the inability to close the eyes or vision impairment are extremely unlikely. A detailed discussion of all possible risks and complications is made at the time of operative consultations and detailed with the written information summarizing discussions.

Blepharoplasty is designed to improve the appearance of the eyelids and most patients do not feel the need to have a second surgery. However, the natural ageing process will continue and results will vary between patients. Blepharoplasty results last between 7-15 years. Blepharoplasty can be enhanced by other surgical and non-surgical procedures done at the same time.

What are the benefits of Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty?

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty restores the field of vision, as well as the natural youthful beauty of the eye. By removing excess skin and fat, the eyelid will appear smooth and better defined, giving a more youthful appearance while often improving peripheral vision and eyelid fatigue. External skin resurfacing with a chemical peel or laser resurfacing treatment may be possible at the same time to improve the appearance of crepey skin.

Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty FAQs

We’ve collated the most commonly asked questions by our patients to give you further insight into your Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty procedure. If you’d like to find out more, please get in touch with the clinic by phone or submit an enquiry.

Contact
At what age should I be considering upper blepharoplasty?

There is no set age for upper eyelid surgery; it depends entirely on your anatomy and the concerns you wish to address. Many patients begin to notice heaviness or hooding in their 40s, while others experience hereditary drooping much earlier. Some seek treatment for functional reasons, such as reduced eyelid visibility or difficulty applying eye makeup.

‍

The most important factor is whether the eyelid changes affect how you feel or how you see. During your consultation, Dr Zamani will assess your anatomy and advise whether surgery or a non-surgical alternative is the best option.

How long does it take to see results after upper blepharoplasty?

Initial swelling and bruising settle within 2 to 4 weeks, and most patients see a noticeably refreshed upper eyelid contour during this time. Subtle refinement continues as residual swelling softens over several months. Final results can take up to 3 to 6 months, depending on your healing. 

How should I clean my eyes after upper blepharoplasty?

Cleansing must be gentle in the early healing period. You can use a soft, damp cloth to clean around the eye, but not directly over the incision line itself. Avoid rubbing or applying pressure as this will irritate the wound.
‍
You should be able to return to your regular facial cleansing routine using mild, unscented products, remembering to pat the area dry rather than wipe.

Will I have a bandage or dressing after upper eyelid surgery?

Bandages are not usually needed after upper blepharoplasty. Occasionally, small dressings may be placed immediately after surgery to protect the incision, but these are minimal and removed within a few days. Most patients leave the clinic with no visible dressing.

What happens during an upper blepharoplasty?

A fine incision is placed within the natural crease of the upper eyelid. Through this, excess skin is removed and the underlying muscle and fat are refined to restore a lighter, more defined eyelid contour.
‍
The procedure takes around 45 minutes to one hour and can be performed under local anaesthetic, sedation, or general anaesthetic, all of which will be discussed during your consultation with Dr Zamani.

Can upper blepharoplasty fix fine lines and wrinkles?

Upper blepharoplasty improves wrinkles caused by excess skin on the upper eyelid and restores a smoother contour. However, it does not treat crow’s feet or texture changes around the outer eye.

Depending on your concerns, Dr Zamani may recommend complementary treatments such as:

  • Anti-wrinkle injections
  • A brow or forehead lift
  • CO2 laser to improve skin quality
  •  Other laser resurfacing for skin tightening

These may be combined with surgery for a more complete rejuvenation, but you will discuss this with Dr Zamani during your consultation

Can I combine upper blepharoplasty with fillers?

Yes. Fillers can subtly support the brow or temple to improve overall periorbital harmony. Combination treatment is common and highly effective when tailored by a specialist familiar with eyelid and brow anatomy. Dr Zamani will advise whether fillers, brow support or surgical correction, or a combination, will achieve the most natural result.

How to speed up recovery after upper blepharoplasty?

To support a smooth recovery, we recommend:

  • Keeping your head elevated, including while sleeping
  • Applying cold compresses during the first 48 hours
  • Avoiding strenuous activity for at least one week
  • Staying well hydrated and maintaining good nutrition
  • Avoiding smoking entirely
  • Attending all scheduled follow-up appointments
  • These practices help minimise swelling and optimise healing.
How long will I be off work?

Most patients feel comfortable returning to office-based roles within 7 to 10 days. Bruising may still be visible during this time, but can be concealed with sunglasses.


If your work involves physical exertion, dusty environments or heavy lifting, you may need slightly longer. Dr Zamani will tailor advice to your individual routine.

How long do upper blepharoplasty results last?

Upper blepharoplasty provides long-lasting, natural results. While ageing continues, most patients enjoy the benefits for 10 to 15 years, and many never require further surgery. Maintaining good skincare, sun protection and avoiding smoking can help prolong results.

What type of anaesthetic is used for upper blepharoplasty?

Upper eyelid surgery is commonly performed under local anaesthesia, with or without sedation, depending on your comfort. Sedation offers a relaxed, drowsy experience while keeping recovery smooth and quick.


General anaesthesia is available for those who prefer to be fully asleep. Dr Zamani will discuss each option and guide you on what best suits your needs.

Is upper blepharoplasty painful?

Most patients describe the procedure as very comfortable. After surgery, the eyelids may feel tight or mildly sore, but this is easily managed with simple pain relief. Discomfort usually settles within 24 - 48 hours.

Is upper eyelid surgery safe?

Upper blepharoplasty is a safe, routinely performed procedure when carried out by a specialist oculoplastic surgeon.


Risks include bruising, infection, bleeding, asymmetry, scarring and dry eye symptoms. More serious complications, like ptosis or vision changes, are very rare.

Dr Zamani uses meticulous techniques and provides detailed aftercare to minimise risks and support a smooth recovery
