Upper Eyelid Surgery
Upper eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a procedure designed to address concerns such as droopy eyelids, hooded eyes, or excess skin and fat deposits on the upper eyelids.
This surgery is particularly beneficial for patients who experience a heavy appearance due to these issues. Hooded eyes, often caused by excess skin or fat, can create the illusion of tiredness and ageing. For those seeking a more elongated, almond-shaped eye look, procedures like the Fox Eyelift can enhance the eye’s appearance, creating a youthful, exotic look similar to the eyes of a fox.

How long do the results of upper eyelid surgery last?

What is the first step for someone interested in upper eyelid surgery?
The initial step is to schedule a detailed consultation and assessment with a qualified surgeon, such as Mr. Sharif Al-Ghazal, to discuss individual goals, expectations, and determine the suitability for the procedure.
What is eyelid surgery for droopy eyelids?
Eyelid surgery for droopy eyelids, also known as ptosis repair, is a procedure designed to address upper eyelids that droop and obstruct vision. This drooping can be caused by ageing, muscle weakness, or certain medical conditions.
Is eyelid surgery for droopy eyelids right for me?
If your drooping eyelids are affecting your vision, causing fatigue from straining to see, or bothering you cosmetically, then eyelid surgery may be a good option. A consultation with an oculoplastic surgeon (a specialist in eyelid surgery) can help determine if you are a candidate.
What are the different types of eyelid surgery for droopy eyelids?
There are two main approaches to ptosis repair:
External approach: A small incision is made in the natural crease of the upper eyelid. The surgeon then shortens or strengthens the levator muscle, which is responsible for an eyelid lift.
Internal approach: The eyelid is flipped inside out, and the surgeon shortens the muscles responsible for an eyelid lifting from within.The best approach for you will depend on the severity of your ptosis and the underlying cause.

"My son has an SEN and was being teased at school, and MySkyn was the only clinic that would treat him. All the ladies were lovely and very welcoming, they managed to get us an appointment very quickly because my son was starting school after the summer holidays and was becoming anxious. Dr Qureshi did a fantastic job keeping my son calm during the procedure and getting the job done! She has the patience of a saint! My son is so much more confident, and I couldn't recommend the clinic any more! Thank you!"
