What eyelid surgery does

This is minor surgery rather than an injectable treatment.

Dr Sultan came to aesthetics from plastic surgery, so the assessment covers whether surgery is the right answer or whether something less invasive would do.

Recovery after eyelid surgery

Bruising and swelling for one to two weeks.

Is eyelid surgery right for you?

Eyelid surgery is planned around your eyes rather than sold from a price list. Dr Sultan confirms the fee, the time in the chair and the recovery at your consultation.

It usually suits

  • Upper eyelid skin that rests on the lashes
  • You have been told creams and injections will not help
  • You want it assessed by someone with a plastic surgery background

It is the wrong treatment if

  • Hollowing under the eye rather than excess skin
  • A brow that has dropped, which is a different operation
  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding

What eyelid surgery is used for

Ageing eyes
Dark circles, a hollow under the eye and a heavy upper lid are three different problems. Treating the wrong one makes the eye look worse.

Treatments that work with eyelid surgery

tear trough filler
If the problem is a hollow under the eye rather than excess skin above it.
CO2 laser resurfacing
For the texture of eyelid skin rather than the amount of it.
anti-wrinkle injections
For lines around the eye rather than excess skin above it.

Please read This page describes eyelid surgery in general terms. It is not medical advice and it is not a diagnosis. Whether eyelid surgery is right for you can only be decided by Dr Sultan after he has examined you. Every procedure carries risks, and he goes through the ones relevant to you at your consultation. If you are unwell, or you are under the care of another doctor, tell him before you book.

Common questions

Is eyelid surgery done under general anaesthetic?

Upper eyelid surgery is usually done under local anaesthetic. This is confirmed at the consultation.

How do I know if it is right for me?

Dr Sultan tells you at the consultation, and he will say so if a treatment is wrong for you.
