Newcastle Blepharoplasty: Refresh tired eyes with expert upper eyelid lift & eye‑bag removal for a youthful, natural gaze.
UPPER EYEBAGS & UPPER BLEPHAROPLASTY: At a glance
The upper eyelid skin is thin and can become saggy with age, or because there is a family trait of having too much upper eyelid skin. Also as we age, the fat underneath the eyelid skin can start to bulge out, especially in the corner of the eye. This gives a tired appearance and heavy feeling in the lids. The aim of surgery is to remove the excess skin, leaving the scar in the natural crease above the eyelashes, opening up the eyes and giving a fresher appearance. Often patients are happy they can apply mascara without it imprinting on the heavy skin resting on the eyelashes.
There are minor natural asymmetries around the eyes, for example the eyebrows always sit at different levels. The same applies for the eyelids.
The overall success of upper eyelid surgery also relies on where the eyebrows are sitting, and the quality of your skin. Sometimes, as part of the eyebag removal, the brow needs to be tweaked too, to enhance the overall result. In the majority of patients this is safely done under local anaesthetic.

frequently asked questions
Do I have to have stitches removed?
Yes, between 5 and 7 days after your surgery we arrange stitch removal. The small plasters on the sides of your eyes after the surgery are holding the stitch ends down. So it is important to not remove these until we see you. We prefer non dissolving so you don’t get marks either side of the scar which dissolving stiches can leave behind. The stitch removal does not hurt, and takes 10-15 seconds to do in the clinic.
Will my eyes be even after the surgery?
Yes, there are always minor asymmetries in any two-sided surgery. However, these small minor asymmetries would not be typically apparent to you. During the early recovery you will definitely have noticeable asymmetry because one side always swells more than the other, but this settles. Also the scar can be redder on one side versus the other, but they both settle quite quickly in most cases and we are happy for patients to apply makeup once the stitches are removed.
Will I be swollen and bruised and what should I do to recover?
Most patients get quite prominent black eyes in the days after the surgery. Arnica tablets, available at the pharmacy, can be taken the week prior to surgery and the week of your recovery. This reduces swelling and brusing. Cool eye pads can also soothe discomfort and reduce swelling but ice should be avoided to avoid cold burns.
Sleeping with an extra pillow to elevate your head and night is very helpful in reducing the swelling, and we provide some eye ointment to reduce the risks of grtting grittiness in the eyes in the days after surgery.
When can I drive?
Patients can drive after 5-7 days. This is to make sure the eyes aren’t swollen and free form visual disturbance which may invalidate car insurance.
