What causes changes to the lower and upper eyelid?
Changes to the way area are usually age-related and are caused by a loss of skin elasticity and muscle tone around the eye.
The effect of these changes can be seen as the skin of the upper lid begins to droop over the lashes, causing a hooded effect.
Loose skin on the upper eyelid can be a cosmetic problem but may also affect function as, in extreme cases, the excess skin can obscure vision.
Lack of muscle tone and loose skin under the eyes cause under-eye bags and dark shadows.
Eyelid surgery can address issues on the upper and lower eyelids.
Upper blepharoplasty or upper eyelid lift near Sheffield
In this procedure, your consultant plastic surgeon will remove the excess skin from the upper eyelid, tighten the lax muscles and lift the lid. The result is a smoother and more contoured upper eyelid.
Your plastic surgeon will make the surgical incision in the eyelid crease, which hides the scars.
Our plastic surgeons perform upper eyelid surgery with a local anaesthetic, and the procedure takes one to two hours.
Lower blepharoplasty or lower eyelid surgery
Eye bag removal restores a youthful, wide-eyed look to the eyes and is a popular procedure at our clinic near Sheffield.
Your consultant plastic surgeon will make the incision close to the lash line, using it to remove excess fat and tighten overstretched skin. The incision will then be closed with fine sutures.
This procedure smooths and tightens the under-eye area, significantly reducing the dark shadows caused by under-eye bags.

Recovery after your blepharoplasty near Sheffield
As with all surgery on the delicate skin around the eyes, you will experience swelling, bruising and tenderness after your blepharoplasty. Any discomfort will be manageable with simple pain relief, and cold compresses may be used to reduce swelling.
It may take a few weeks, but once the treated area has calmed down, you will be delighted with your eyelids’ refreshed and youthful appearance.
Coppergate Clinic prioritises your comfort, and you will receive excellent care and attention after your surgery and during the healing process.

Self-care after eyelid surgery near Sheffield
We advise patients to rest as much as possible after blepharoplasty surgery and to avoid intense exercise for 3-6 weeks.
It is essential to treat your eye area gently after your eyelid surgery.
You should avoid rubbing your skin, using eye makeup or skincare with active ingredients and taking hot baths or showers. Too much sun exposure could also irritate the skin.
Contact lenses could affect surgical incisions, so we advise patients to wear spectacles for the first few days.
Most Sheffield patients take a week off work after blepharoplasty surgery to relax and allow their bodies to heal.

All surgery carries risks of swelling, bruising, and infection, but the risks are minimised when you choose a clinic of the highest calibre, such as Coppergate Clinic.
Blepharoplasty surgery is straightforward, and complications are rare, but the risks will be explained to you at your initial consultation.

Are the results of plastic surgery on the eyelids permanent?
Although our surgeons’ skills can reverse the effects of ageing on your lower and upper eyelids, they can’t stop time altogether.
The ageing process will continue, and some of our Sheffield patients choose to have further procedures.
