The eyes are often the first area to show signs of fatigue or ageing. Our advanced Eyelid Surgery options address concerns such as sagging lids, drooping eyelids, eyelid asymmetry and tearing. By restoring the eye area with precision, we help you achieve a brighter, more rested look while preserving natural expression.

Targeted Eye Surgery Procedures:

Upper Lid Blepharoplasty

A subtle lift for a brighter, more youthful gaze. This refined procedure removes excess skin and soft tissue from the upper eyelids, restoring a fresher, more open expression.

  • As we age, the upper eyelid can develop excess skin and puffiness that creates a heavy, hooded appearance. This can make you look tired, sad, or older than you feel. Common concerns include:

    • Drooping or sagging upper eyelids

    • Hooded lids that hide the natural eye contour

    • Makeup no longer sitting well on the eyelids

    • A tired or aged look despite feeling well-rested

    Upper eyelid blepharoplasty corrects these issues for a more refreshed, alert appearance.

  • Upper lid blepharoplasty, also known as upper eyelid surgery, is a precision procedure that removes excess skin and adjusts the soft tissues around the eyes.

    • Restores a defined eyelid crease

    • Reduces heaviness or puffiness

    • Lifts the upper eye area for a brighter, more youthful look

    • Creates a smoother surface for makeup and improves symmetry

    In expert hands, the result is elegant and discreet, never overdone.

  • Upper eyelid surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under local anaesthesia with light sedation. The process involves:

    1. Careful markings to map natural eyelid folds

    2. Removal of excess skin and fine sculpting of fat pads

    3. Precise closure for minimal scarring, hidden in the crease

    The treatment takes around 1 hour. You’ll be able to go home the same day, and light activities are generally safe by the following day..

  • Initial swelling and bruising subside within 1–2 weeks, and your appearance will continue to refine over the following month. Once healed, you'll enjoy:

    • A rested, more youthful eye area

    • Smooth, natural upper eyelids

    • Long-lasting improvement, often turning back the clock 8 to 10 years!

    Aging will naturally continue, but the refreshed contour remains stable for years to come. Sun protection and good skincare can help preserve your results.

Lower Lid Blepharoplasty

A smooth, rested under-eye, without the tired look. This delicate procedure reduces puffiness, under-eye bags, and tear trough shadows for a naturally refreshed appearance.

  • The lower eyelid area is often one of the first to show signs of aging. If you’re noticing:

    • Persistent puffiness or bags under the eyes

    • Shadows or deep tear troughs creating a tired or aged appearance

    • A hollow or sagging look around the midface

    • Difficulty concealing under-eye issues with makeup

    Lower blepharoplasty may be the solution to restore a youthful, smooth contour beneath the eyes.

  • Lower lid blepharoplasty is a precision surgery that targets excess fat, skin, or volume loss under the eyes. It can:

    • Reduce or reposition under-eye fat to smooth puffiness

    • Improve the appearance of tear troughs and eye hollows

    • Support the lower eyelid to maintain a natural shape

    • Enhance the overall harmony of the midface

    For patients with more advanced signs of aging, a midface lift may be combined to address sagging cheeks or malar bags.

  • Lower eyelid surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, either under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia. If combined with other treatments, an overnight stay may be recommended.

    Here’s what to expect:

    1. Precise incisions (often hidden inside the lower lid or along the lash line)

    2. Removal or repositioning of under-eye fat

    3. Optional fat grafting or canthopexy/canthoplasty for eyelid support

    4. Skin tightening and midface lifting if needed

    The procedure lasts 1–2 hours depending on complexity. Light activities can often resume the day after surgery.

  • Initial swelling and bruising will subside within 1–2 weeks, with full refinement visible over 4–6 weeks. You can expect:

    • A smoother, brighter under-eye area

    • Reduced puffiness and softened tear troughs

    • A rested, more youthful appearance

    • Results that last 8–10 years or more

    Ongoing aging is natural, but this treatment significantly resets the clock on your appearance. Sunglasses and good skincare are key to maintaining your results.

Droopy Eyelid Correction

Restoring clarity to your vision and brightness to your eyes This procedure lifts sagging upper eyelids that obstruct vision or create a heavy, tired look, enhancing both function and appearance.

  • If your upper eyelids appear heavy, hooded, or seem to block your field of vision, especially in the upper peripheral area, you may be experiencing ptosis, the drooping of the upper eyelid. Common concerns include:

    • Difficulty seeing clearly due to eyelid obstruction

    • A tired or aged expression, even when well-rested

    • Needing to lift your brows to keep eyes open

    • Asymmetry between your eyes

    This treatment is designed to restore normal eyelid function and a more alert, open look.

  • Droopy Eyelid correction is a precise surgical procedure that lifts the upper eyelid by addressing both excess skin and weakened eyelid muscles. It can:

    • Improve your field of vision

    • Elevate the eyelid margin to a natural position

    • Create a smoother, more youthful upper lid contour

    • Brighten your overall facial expression

    When performed for functional reasons, ptosis correction may be covered by insurance. Our team can help guide you through the pre-authorization process.

  • Droopy eyelid correction is typically an outpatient procedure, performed under local or general anaesthesia with sedation. The process includes:

    1. Careful examination and marking of eyelid position

    2. Removal of excess, obstructive skin if necessary

    3. Repositioning or tightening of the eyelid lifting muscles

    4. Closure with fine sutures for minimal scarring

    The surgery typically lasts about 1 hour. Most patients return home the same day.

  • You can expect:

    • Improved upper peripheral vision

    • A more open, rested, and symmetrical eye appearance

    • Results visible within the first few weeks, refining over 4–6 weeks

    • Long-lasting improvement in both form and function

    Mild swelling or bruising may occur, but light activity is usually possible the next day. Proper sun protection and gentle skincare are essential during healing.

    While aging will continue, ptosis correction can offer a significant, long-term improvement in your everyday comfort and confidence.

Eyelid Repairs

Restoring comfort, function, and natural balance Specialised corrective surgery to address complications or unsatisfactory results from previous eyelid procedures, helping your eyes feel and look more like you again.

  • If you've had eyelid surgery in the past and are left with issues such as:

    • Eyes that don’t fully close or feel dry and uncomfortable

    • A rounded, tight, or unnatural eyelid shape

    • Visible white of the eye below the iris (excess sclera show)

    • Lower eyelid turning inward (entropion) or outward (ectropion)

    • Ongoing irritation or dissatisfaction with your results

    This treatment helps to correct both the functional and aesthetic outcomes of prior eyelid surgery.

  • Eyelid repair surgery is a custom corrective procedure tailored to restore the natural shape, position, and comfort of your eyelids. Depending on your needs, it may include:

    • Placement of an internal lower lid spacer to support the eyelid

    • Lateral canthoplasty to elevate and reposition the lower lid

    • Revision of scar tissue or muscle repositioning

    • Symmetry correction and improvement in eyelid closure

    The goal is to enhance both the appearance and function of the eyelids while relieving discomfort.

  • This is typically an outpatient procedure, performed under local or general anaesthesia with sedation. The exact steps will vary based on the nature of your previous surgery and the required corrections. It may involve:

    1. Careful examination of eyelid anatomy and function

    2. Use of grafts or spacers to restore support

    3. Reconstructive techniques to reposition and reshape the lids

    4. Fine suturing for minimal visible scarring

    In complex cases, a staged approach may be necessary.

  • Patients typically see:

    • A more natural and balanced eyelid contour

    • Relief from discomfort and improved eye function

    • Gradual refinement of shape over 4–6 weeks

    • Long-lasting results, with careful planning to avoid overcorrection

    You can resume light activity the day after surgery, with full recovery depending on the extent of the revision.

    Sun protection and a gentle skincare routine are essential during the healing phase.

    If your eyelid repair is functional (i.e., to correct impaired closure or lid malposition), insurance coverage may apply. Our staff can assist with benefits and precertification.

Tearing Eyes Treatment

Surgical correction for chronically watery eyes caused by blocked or damaged tear ducts, previous surgery, or injury, restoring comfort and clear vision.

  • Excessive tearing (also known as epiphora) can be frustrating and disruptive. You might benefit from this treatment if you experience:

    • Constant watery eyes, even when not emotional or in wind/cold

    • Blurred vision due to tear overflow

    • Skin irritation around the eyes from persistent moisture

    • Tearing that worsens with certain head positions

    • A history of facial trauma, surgery, or infections affecting tear drainage

    Correcting the underlying cause can significantly improve your quality of life and ocular health.

  • Tearing eye correction addresses tear drainage issues often caused by:

    • Blocked or scarred tear ducts

    • Narrowed drainage passages

    • Disrupted tear flow from prior surgery or injury

    We use specialised surgical techniques tailored to your anatomy to restore proper tear flow, reduce tearing, and enhance comfort.

    Benefits include:

    • Clearer vision

    • Reduced tearing and irritation

    • Long-term relief from a frustrating, often embarrassing issue

  • Typically performed as an outpatient surgery under general anaesthesia, this procedure may include:

    1. Careful assessment with imaging (if needed)

    2. Reopening or bypassing the blocked tear duct (e.g. DCR – dacryocystorhinostomy)

    3. Scar tissue removal or reconstruction

    4. Use of stents or grafts to support the tear drainage system

    An overnight stay may be needed if the surgery is combined with other facial procedures.

  • You can expect:

    • A noticeable reduction in tearing as healing progresses

    • Gradual improvement in eye comfort over the first few weeks

    • Long-lasting results for most patients

    In some cases, recurrence may occur due to further scarring, though this is uncommon.

    You can resume light activities the day after your procedure, with full recovery typically within 1–2 weeks depending on the extent of the surgery.

    Sun protection and proper eye care are key to supporting healing.

    If your tearing is impairing vision or due to medical causes, insurance coverage may apply , our team can help assess your eligibility and guide you through the process.
