An eye bag removal, also known as blepharoplasty, is a surgery procedure aimed at removing puffiness and bags under the eyes, along with excess skin and delicate wrinkles from the lower and upper eyelids . Such an operation can revitalize the eye contour, making your eyes look rested and rejuvenated. Our surgeons rely on state-of-art methodologies to achieve natural outcomes according to the patient’s unique facial structure.
Blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery is a cosmetic surgical intervention that focuses on improving the contour and appearance of the upper and lower eyelids. Some of the most common issues that could be addressed through the intervention include puffiness, under-eye bags, folding of excess skin, and a network of fine wrinkles. To address these signs of aging, the plastic surgeon may intend to remove or reposition the excess fat, tighten the skin, and muscles surrounding the eyes. The patient can seek treatment for her upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or even both. Our professional surgeons guarantee you a safe and quick intervention that will create a slimmer and more harmonious face.
The main risk of blepharoplasty is the risk of complications and side effects. Common side effects that usually go away within a few weeks include swelling and bruising, and temporary discomfort around the eyes. The patients often note that their eyes are dry and irritated and that they are oversensitive to light. Some report blurry vision and watery eyes for the first few days. Less common, although more severe complications include infection, bleeding, and a reaction to the anesthesia. Most patients never develop severe scarring, but a few may notice scarring that is more noticeable. There is also a distinct possibility of the eyes failing to close entirely, which can cause dry eyes: this condition usually improves over time. However, the surgeons in London Private Hospital do everything to ensure that you will enjoy all of the benefits of the procedure, and our staff will help you to recover if such complications arise.

If you worry about under-eye bags and eyelids that give you a tired or aged look—more than you feel this surgery may be beneficial. Eye bag removal surgery is a decision that should be made for yourself, along with your medical provider. Here are considerations that can help determine if this surgery is suitable for you:
Your Health Matters: Ideal candidates are generally healthy and do not smoke. They should also expect good results from the surgery.
Are you experiencing vision problems? There are instances where excess skin can lower the upper eyelid’s line of sight. Besides a cosmetic solution, this surgery may also serve a functional purpose.
Appearance is a form of self-esteem- most people find the procedure satisfactory in the sense that they feel more comfortable without the bags. If you are thinking of doing the procedure, consult one of our professional surgeons who will help you determining if it is meant for you by considering your health, lifestyle, and how you want to look.
At London Private Hospital, we provide detailed postoperative care instructions and support, ensuring you feel informed and comfortable throughout the recovery process.
Patients typically experience swelling and bruising, which subsides over the first few weeks. Cold compresses and head elevation can help reduce swelling. As part of the postoperative care, you will be advised to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for a few weeks after the surgery. Following the surgeon’s instructions for eye care is crucial for preventing complications.
Finally, protecting your skin from sun exposure is also important to maintain results. Regular use of sunscreen around the eyes can help prevent premature aging. Schedule follow-up visits with your surgeon to monitor your healing process and ensure that you are recovering as expected.
It will take you approximately one to two weeks before you get back to your daily routine. In one to two weeks of rest and downtime, most of the swelling and bruising will be going down. However, subtle swelling that requires an average of two to three months will continue to reduce until complete healing in three to six months.
While healing is occurring around the incision areas, they are generally expertly positioned where they can be concealed by the natural crease of the eyelid or the eyelash line. In a few months after your blepharoplasty, the resulting scarring might likely fade and be almost unnoticeable.
Healthier individuals who do not smoke and have reasonable expectations are often optimal candidates for surgery. If you have sagging of the upper eyelids and bags under the eyes to effectuate a downtrodden facial example, blepharoplasty might be just what you need.
