Before and

Upper Blepharoplasty
A fresh example of a precise, qualitative upper lid blepharoplasty, designed as a refinement on a flawless face, and how it can serve as an almost-magical tweak to the facial aesthetic balance.
Thank you for trusting me with your eyes.
Upper Blepharoplasty & Brow Lift
The approach was conservative, prioritising a natural result, good proportionality between the eyelid and the eye, and avoiding a hollowed appearance.
I also addressed a mild asymmetry in the brow tail height, achieving better balance. Scars are already settling very well and will continue to vanish.
The key in aesthetic eye surgery is for the result to sit comfortably within one's overall facial aesthetic, and this was achieved.
Upper Blepharoplasty
The patient initially presented with concerns of upper eyelid heaviness, along with some periocular swelling that we felt warranted appropriate investigation before proceeding further.
Following a reassuring pre-operative workup and a period of observation, surgery was undertaken and the results have been good. At three months, there is mild residual swelling, which remains within expected limits for her history, and she continues to do well overall.
Upper & Lower Blepharoplasty
There is a sweet spot in eyelid surgery for me.
Refreshed and brighter patient results while still looking completely like themselves.
Aim for that, ensure to blend carefully with the rest of the face, and the results can be overwhelming.
A great big thank you to my patient for her trust in our work.
Upper Blepharoplasty & Ptosis Repair
Aesthetic upper lid surgery required the exact opposite of a cookie-cutter approach. Individual results vary based on anatomy and expectations.
Thank you to our patient for allowing us to share her results.
Upper Blepharoplasty & Ptosis Repair (Anterior Approach)
The skin hooding over the eyelid and the eyelid itself act a little like a sash window with roman blinds, the two connected like a counterweight system.
Lifting the closed window only - ptosis repair - lowers the blinds with more fabric (or skin hooding) showing. Lifting the blinds alone - blepharoplasty - without dealing with a closed window, makes the window seem more closed.
Both need assessment in every upper lid surgery and, if needed, both need correction. Ptosis surgery defines how open the window is. Blepharoplasty defines the length of fabric showing.
The combination of ptosis repair and blepharoplasty in both eyes is challenging and requires careful measurements and considerable patience during surgery.
Upper Blepharoplasty
Healing progress unfolding in real time. This patient has shared selfies to illustrate how well she is healing since undergoing an upper eyelid lift.
When it comes to how blood clots, blood vessels heal, and tissue reacts with swelling, some are, of course, a little luckier than others.
Lower Blepharoplasty
Excellent seven-day progress, with visible settling of the lower eyelid presenting a naturally rested, refined result.
The lower eyelid is a delicate structure and the recovery is closely monitored. This patient healed beautifully and the early result speaks for itself.
Asian Blepharoplasty
This beautiful young patient came during a very busy period of study, wanting to reduce upper eyelid heaviness and improve irritation from lashes touching the eye.
We had a detailed consultation where we went through exactly what she wanted to achieve. She had already done her research into double lid surgery and had a very clear idea of the crease shape she preferred. We discussed different options and refined the plan together so it was tailored specifically to her facial features.
In clinic, I used crease simulation to demonstrate different eyelid crease heights and shapes so we could agree on a precise and natural-looking result. This is where experience with Asian eyelid anatomy really matters - understanding subtle variations in lid fold patterns and how different techniques can create either a soft, natural crease or a more defined appearance depending on preference.
She underwent surgery and had a very smooth recovery with minimal bruising and a swift return to studies. The result matched the plan beautifully and gave a natural, refreshed look while keeping everything in harmony with her facial features.
She is delighted with the outcome, and I'm very grateful to her for allowing me to share the photos.

Patient Journey
This gentleman presented with a longstanding sensation of heaviness affecting the upper eyelids together with a persistently tired appearance around the eyes.
He underwent upper eyelid blepharoplasty to restore a lighter, more refreshed appearance while also addressing the excess upper eyelid skin contributing to the heavy sensation.
Recovery was very smooth, with sutures removed on day 7 and only minimal bruising and swelling, which settled quickly. He was delighted with the natural, rejuvenated outcome and felt that he looked significantly less tired. Most importantly, he noticed a clear improvement in the heaviness of the upper eyelids, with the eye area feeling much lighter and more comfortable following surgery.
A huge thank you to him for trusting me with his eyelid surgery and for kindly giving permission to share these photographs.

My condition improved after the first consultation, and no surgery was needed."
