Many people considering cosmetic surgery often ask about the cost of eyelid surgery in the UK. Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is designed to refresh the eyes by addressing sagging eyelids, under-eye bags, and wrinkles. While results can be transformative, cost is an important factor for many patients. This guide explains what influences the price and what you can expect from treatment.
What is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat from the eyelids. Over time, aging, heredity, and sun exposure can cause the eyelid area to lose firmness, resulting in a tired or older appearance.
Common concerns include:
- Sagging upper eyelids: Can create a heavy or tired look and sometimes impair vision.
- Under-eye bags or puffiness: Forming a permanently tired appearance.
- Fine lines or wrinkles: Especially on the lower eyelid.
Beyond cosmetic benefits, blepharoplasty can improve confidence and, in some cases, enhance peripheral vision.
Procedure & Recovery:
- Duration: 1–2 hours
- Anaesthesia: Usually local
- Return to work: 5–7 days
- Full recovery: 2–4 weeks
Types of Eyelid Surgery
Upper Eyelid Surgery
- Incision along the natural crease above the eyelashes.
- Removes excess skin (and sometimes fat) for a lifted, refreshed upper eyelid.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
- Incision below the lash line or inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival).
- Reduces puffiness and under-eye bags with minimal scarring.
Combined Upper and Lower Surgery
- Addresses both eyelids in one procedure for a harmonious, refreshed appearance.
Factors Affecting the Cost
Blepharoplasty prices vary depending on:
- Surgeon’s experience: Highly experienced surgeons may charge more.
- Clinic location: Larger cities often have higher fees.
- Type of procedure: Upper, lower, or combined eyelid surgery.
- Pre- and post-operative care: Follow-up visits, medication, and aftercare can influence overall cost.
- Typical UK price range: £2,000 – £6,000
