How to Choose a Cosmetic Eye Surgeon

Cosmetic eye surgeons, and Oculoplastic surgeons, address cosmetic eye concerns such as loose eyelid skin, under eye bags and eyelid Ptosis (muscle weakness resulting in a dropped eyelid). Due to the delicate nature of the eye area, they are plastic surgeons with dedicated, in-depth knowledge and understanding of the function and anatomy of the eyes.

Researching cosmetic eye surgery can feel overwhelming thanks to the number of surgeons and clinics available. Finding the right cosmetic eye or Oculoplastic surgeon who can address your concerns and achieve your desired requirements is crucial. In order to do this, having a good understanding of the factors that influence the quality of surgeons and surgical providers is essential.

When researching Oculoplastic and cosmetic eye surgeons, it is important to consider:

Surgeon’s Qualifications and Experience

For the best care and optimal cosmetic eye surgery results, patients should look for:

  • Specialist Oculoplastic or cosmetic eye surgeons with extensive training and knowledge in cosmetic and reconstructive eyelid procedures
  • Surgeons with a proven track record of addressing your specific concerns, such as eyelid lifts (blepharoplasty), ptosis correction, or under-eye rejuvenation
  • Highly qualified medical professionals recognised through regulatory accreditations and industry awards

Which is the Right Cosmetic Eye Surgery for Me?

There are a wide range of concerns which can affect the eye area, both cosmetic and functional. While for some patients, sagging upper eyelid skin may be a cosmetic concern affecting confidence, for others, the sagging skin may also affect their field of vision, impacting independence and activities such as driving.

Cosmetic eye surgery addresses many concerns. The best eye surgery will be bespoke, addressing individual concerns, sometimes by combining multiple procedures. 

A Blepharoplasty is a straightforward procedure, which removes excess skin and fat from the upper and lower eyelids, to reduce sagging and create a more open eye appearance. As well as tackling common ageing concerns of eye bags, and hooded eyelids, it can also increase the field of vision for patients with more severe concerns. There are two types of Blepharoplasty surgery:

  • Upper Blepharoplasty – This focuses on the upper eyelids, removing excess skin to reduce sagging upper eyelid skin.
  • Lower Blepharoplasty – This procedure targets under-eye bags by removing excess skin and manipulating the fat pads under the eyes.

Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty are often carried out together for an enhanced result. 

As we age, it is normal for the upper face and brow area to drop slightly. This can affect the appearance of the eyes and may exacerbate concerns such as sagging eyelids. Browpexy is a simple procedure that lifts the eyebrows by placing small, internal stitches under the brow bone to lift and stabilise the area, reducing movement and improving tone. Browpexy is often carried out alongside Upper Blepharoplasty to improve the overall result. 

In cases where the levator muscle, which is responsible for lifting the eyelid, weakens or stretches, the eyelid can droop or fall over the eye. This is different from sagging eyelid skin caused by age, as the movement of the eyelid is affected, often causing vision concerns. Ptosis can affect one or both eyes and can be uncomfortable, causing the eye area to ache due to the muscle concerns.

Ptosis Repair typically involves shortening the levator muscle to allow the eyelid to be raised. It can be combined with other cosmetic eye procedures depending on your individual concerns and desired results. 

To discuss the various cosmetic eye procedures that are available, book a consultation with a specialist surgeon who can examine your eyes, and ensure you are given the best advice on which surgery is suitable for you.
