Upper Eyelid Surgery Liverpool
Upper eyelid surgery, also known as upper blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and, where appropriate, small amounts of underlying tissue from the upper eyelids. It may be considered by people who feel that excess or loose upper eyelid skin is affecting the appearance of their eyes or making the eyelids feel heavy.
At Cosmetic Surgery of the Royal Liver Building, upper blepharoplasty is performed under local anaesthetic following a private consultation and assessment. Our clinic is located within Liverpool’s iconic Royal Liver Building, where patients can discuss their concerns, expectations and whether upper eyelid surgery is appropriate for them.
If you are considering eyelid surgery more generally, you can also read our guide to Best Blepharoplasty in Liverpool for information about upper and lower blepharoplasty.
What Is Upper Eyelid Surgery?
Upper blepharoplasty may be considered where patients have:
- Excess or loose skin on the upper eyelids
- Hooded upper eyelids
- Skin folds affecting the appearance of the eyes
- Changes to the upper eyelids associated with ageing
- A heavy appearance around the upper eyelids
Upper Blepharoplasty in Liverpool
Upper blepharoplasty is a form of eyelid surgery specifically focused on the upper eyelids. The procedure involves carefully planning the area of skin to be removed before making an incision within the natural crease of the upper eyelid where possible.
The exact surgical approach varies between patients. Your surgeon will explain the proposed procedure during your consultation, including what may be removed or treated and what you can expect during recovery.
You can find more information about the procedure itself on our dedicated upper blepharoplasty Liverpool page.
What Happens During Upper Eyelid Surgery?
Before surgery, your eyelids will be assessed and the procedure discussed with you. The surgical markings are carefully planned before the procedure begins.
Local anaesthetic is used to numb the treatment area. The surgeon then makes carefully positioned incisions and removes the appropriate amount of excess skin and, where clinically appropriate, other tissue.
The incision is closed and you will receive instructions regarding your immediate aftercare and recovery.
The length of the procedure can vary depending on the individual patient and the surgical plan. Your surgeon will discuss this with you during your consultation.
Upper Eyelid Surgery Recovery
Some swelling and bruising around the eyes is expected following upper blepharoplasty. The amount and duration can vary between individuals.
Your surgeon will provide specific aftercare advice, including guidance on caring for the treated area and when you can return to normal activities.
It is important to allow yourself sufficient time to recover and to follow the post-operative instructions provided by your clinical team.
You should also attend any recommended follow-up appointments so that your recovery can be assessed.
Upper Eyelid Surgery or Lower Blepharoplasty?
Upper and lower blepharoplasty address different areas of the eyelids.
Upper blepharoplasty focuses on excess skin and changes affecting the upper eyelids, whereas lower blepharoplasty is generally concerned with the lower eyelid area, including concerns such as under-eye bags.
If your main concern is under-eye bags or puffiness beneath the eyes, you can find out more about lower blepharoplasty and eye bag removal in Liverpool.
Some patients may require treatment to both the upper and lower eyelids, although this will depend entirely on their individual circumstances and surgical assessment.
