What is Blepharoplasty Eyelid Surgery?
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, and sometimes small amounts of fat, from the upper eyelids. At Freyja Medical, we focus on upper eyelid blepharoplasty to reduce hooding and create a more refreshed, natural appearance.
The procedure involves a small incision placed within the natural eyelid crease, allowing precise removal of excess tissue while keeping any scarring discreet. It is typically performed under local anaesthetic as a day-case procedure.
As well as improving the appearance of heavy or tired eyes, blepharoplasty can also help if excess skin is affecting your vision. Results develop over the following weeks, leaving the eyes looking brighter and more open.
Benefits of Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty offers both aesthetic and practical benefits, especially for those with heavy or hooded upper eyelids. By removing excess skin, it helps create a more refreshed, open appearance while maintaining natural facial balance.
Many people notice a brighter, less tired look, and in some cases, improved vision if excess skin was affecting the upper field of view.
Results are long-lasting, making it a reliable option for those wanting a more permanent solution, with outcomes tailored to look natural and in keeping with your features.

Is Blepharoplasty Right for Me?
Blepharoplasty may be a suitable option if you’re finding that changes around your upper eyelids are affecting how you look, or even how you see. It’s particularly effective for concerns caused by excess skin and loss of elasticity in the eyelid area.
You may benefit from upper eyelid blepharoplasty if you have:
- Drooping eyelids
- Hooded eyes
- Excess or sagging eyelid skin
- A tired or heavy eye appearance
- Skin that is resting on the eyelashes
- Reduced upper field of vision due to excess skin
The best way to find out if this treatment is right for you is through a consultation, where we can assess your concerns and recommend the most appropriate approach tailored to you.
Suitability for Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty is suitable for many people, but as with any surgical procedure, it’s important to ensure it is safe and appropriate for you. A detailed consultation is always carried out to assess your medical history, eye health, and overall suitability.
You may not be suitable for blepharoplasty if you:
- Have uncontrolled medical conditions (such as diabetes or high blood pressure)
- Suffer from certain eye conditions, including severe dry eye or active infections
- Have bleeding disorders or are unable to stop blood-thinning medications
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have unrealistic expectations about the results
Blepharoplasty is best suited to individuals in good general health who are looking for a natural improvement rather than a dramatic change. During your consultation, we’ll ensure the procedure is the right option for you and discuss any alternatives if needed.

What is blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves the removal or repositioning of excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle from the eyelids. This procedure is typically performed to address sagging, droopy eyelids that can create a tired, aged appearance or obstruct vision.
At Freyja Medical, we specialise in upper eyelid blepharoplasty, which focuses on improving the contour of the upper eyelids for a more youthful, refreshed look.
How long does the procedure take?
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is a relatively quick procedure, usually lasting between 1 to 2 hours, depending on the amount of excess skin and fat being removed. The surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning you can return home the same day.
At Freyja Medical, our skilled surgeons work efficiently to ensure minimal disruption to your day while delivering excellent results.
What is the recovery time for upper eyelid blepharoplasty?
Recovery from upper eyelid blepharoplasty generally involves some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for the first week or two. Most patients can return to their normal activities within 7 to 10 days, although full healing may take several weeks.
You’ll need to follow specific aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing, such as keeping the area clean, applying prescribed ointments, and avoiding strenuous activities for a short period. By the end of the recovery process, you’ll notice significant improvements in your eyelid appearance.
Will there be visible scarring after blepharoplasty?
The incisions for upper eyelid blepharoplasty are made along the natural crease of the eyelid, which helps to conceal any scarring. Once fully healed, the scars are usually very faint and difficult to detect.
Our consultant surgeon at Freyja Medical is highly skilled in minimising scarring by using precise techniques and carefully closing the incisions for optimal healing. With proper aftercare, scars will continue to fade over time.
How long do the results of blepharoplasty last?
The results of upper eyelid blepharoplasty are long-lasting, and many patients enjoy the benefits for many years. While the natural ageing process will continue, the improvements made during the surgery will remain visible for a long time.
Most patients see their results last 10 years or more. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and protecting your skin from the sun can help prolong the effects of the surgery.
How soon will I see blepharoplasty results?
You’ll begin to see improvements in your eyelids once the initial swelling and bruising subside, usually within the first two weeks after surgery. However, final results become more apparent over the following weeks as your eyelids continue to heal. By around two to three months, the full effect of the surgery will be visible, with a smoother, more refreshed appearance. At Freyja Medical, we guide you through the entire recovery process to ensure optimal results.
