About Blepharoplasty Treatment
Eyelid surgery (Blepharoplasty) can be done due to various reasons. It can go beyond restoring function and appearance by potentially improving vision caused by excess skin sagging in front of the eye. Eyelid surgery is most commonly undertaken for cosmetic reasons to improve an aged appearance or hooded heaviness.
By correcting the wrinkles and under-eye bags that can make you look tired and older, blepharoplasty is able to give you a fresh and well-rested look. Areas commonly targeted by this procedure are the upper and lower eyelids, including the hollows beneath the eyes and the tear troughs.

"When I arrived at signature clinic I had a warm welcome from there staff, the place was very clean and everything was organised I saw my surgeon before I went into theatre who explained everything to so what would happen before during and after my operation, the surgeon spoke to me all through the procedure to reassure me. 😊"
"I had an upper blepharoplasty with Dr Carlo Debass in March 2025 in Cardiff. I cannot fault the clinic, staff and Surgeon. My whole process was excellent and the aftercare so far has been faultless too. The clinic is not what I was expecting. It is in a business park amongst other medical businesses. The theatre was immaculate & well equipped & the staff were professional & knowledgeable. I am preparing to book a neck lift for later in the year and have every confidence in recommending Signature Clinic."

Blepharoplasty FAQ
Will Blepharoplasty change the shape of the eye?
The goal of the procedure is to remove the excess skin to make the eyes look more fresh and rejuvenated. This in some cases may cause the eye shape to look mildly different due to excess skin no longer being present.
Will the scars be noticeable after Blepharoplasty?
Scars for the upper eyelids are hidden at the natural crease making them minimally visible. Scars for the lower eyelids are placed below the eyelashes to reduce their visibility.
What is Blepharoplasty?
Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the eyelids. Blepharoplasty surgery changes the appearance of sagging eyelids and bags under the eyes.
How long do the results of Blepharoplasty last?
The results of blepharoplasty last, on average, for at least 5-10 years. This number is influenced by how well you take care of your skin.
What are some of the reasons as individual would choose eyelid surgery?
Blepharoplasty is preferred by patients who want to reduce the bags under their eyes or eliminate droopy eyelids that are making them look tired or grumpy. On some occasions it is performed in order to restore peripheral vision that has been impaired by severe excess skin.
Will eyelid surgery fix my peripheral vision?
Eyelid surgery only fixes peripheral vision that is blocked by droopy eyelids. There are many other causes of peripheral vision loss, including glaucoma, occlusions, a detached retina or a compression of the optic nerve. If you are experiencing peripheral vision loss, it is important to schedule an appointment with our eye doctor for a thorough examination and diagnosis.
How long will I need to recover?
Blepharoplasty is done on an outpatient basis. You will be able to go back home soon after your procedure, once your surgeon determines that it is safe for you to return home. As a rule of thumb, your stitches, if not self-dissolving, will be removed after 7 to 10 days. Most patients make a full recovery within one month, although recovery may take longer on occasion.
Am I too young to have lower eyelid surgery?
Bags in the lower or upper eyelids are common characteristics of an ageing face. Some patients have a genetic predisposition to these bags or have excess skin in their eyelids. These can be good candidates for the procedure.
