Often referred to as a "celebrity favorite" for its transformative yet subtle results, Upper Blepharoplasty (eyelid reduction) is one of our most sought-after procedures at The Wilson Clinic. A brighter, more open gaze can have a powerful effect on the entire face, erasing the appearance of fatigue and restoring a youthful vitality.
By meticulously removing surplus skin and protruding fat from the upper eyelids, we can correct "hooding" and create a refreshed aesthetic. Whether the goal is to improve your field of vision or simply to look as rejuvenated as you feel, this procedure offers a high-impact solution with minimal downtime.
How is the procedure performed?
Upper eyelid surgery is typically carried out under local anaesthetic. Mr Wilson makes a precise incision following the natural creases of your eyelid, which may extend slightly into the laughter lines at the corner of the eyes. This thoughtful approach ensures that scarring is discreetly hidden within your natural anatomy.
Is the recovery painful?
Most patients report discomfort rather than pain following the procedure. While you should expect some bruising and swelling in the days following surgery, these side effects are temporary.
How long until I see the final results?
While initial healing occurs quickly, the full, improved appearance of your eyelid reduction will be visible after only a few weeks once the minor swelling has completely subsided.
Will I have visible scars?
Because the incisions are placed within the natural folds and "crow’s feet" of the eye area, scarring is remarkably minimal. Over time, these fine lines fade and become virtually imperceptible to the naked eye.
