Blepharoplasty, or eyelid reduction surgery, is a transformative procedure that rejuvenates the eye area by removing excess skin, muscle, and fat. Whether you struggle with hooded upper eyelids that impair your vision or prominent under-eye bags that make you look tired, eyelid surgery restores a refreshed, youthful, and naturally awake appearance.
Treatment
At Shumaila’s London, we ensure you never walk the path of your surgical journey alone. From your initial consultation through to your final transformational result, our dedicated medical experts will be by your side, providing compassionate and continuous support.
The Procedure
Eyelid surgery addresses the premature signs of aging around the eyes. As skin loses elasticity, the upper eyelids can droop and become hooded, while fat can bulge in the lower eyelids creating prominent bags. Blepharoplasty precisely removes or repositions these tissues. It can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both simultaneously for a complete ocular rejuvenation. At Shumaila’s London, we tailor every aspect of this treatment to your unique anatomy and aspirations, ensuring a premium experience that is synonymous with our brand.
Key Benefits
Refreshed Appearance: Eliminates the “tired” or “angry” look caused by heavy eyelids.
Improved Vision: Removes sagging upper eyelid skin that may be obstructing your line of sight.
Hidden Scarring: Incisions are strategically placed in natural eye creases or inside the lid.
Long-Lasting Results: The rejuvenating effects of blepharoplasty typically last for 5 to 10 years or more.

Frequent Asked Questions
No, the goal is rejuvenation. Your eyes will simply look more rested and open, not stretched or unnaturally shaped.
Upper eyelid scars are hidden in the natural crease. Lower eyelid scars are concealed just beneath the lash line or inside the eyelid itself.
Stitches are typically removed between 5 and 7 days post-surgery during your follow-up appointment.
The procedure is virtually painless under anaesthesia. Post-operatively, patients describe the feeling as tight or mildly sore, not painful.
You should wait about 10 to 14 days, or until your surgeon confirms the incisions are fully healed, before applying eye makeup.
Blepharoplasty removes under-eye bags (fat pads), which can eliminate shadows. However, it does not change skin pigmentation.
No, blepharoplasty targets excess skin and fat on the eyelids, not the wrinkles at the outer corners of your eyes. Crow’s feet are best treated with anti-wrinkle injection or laser resurfacing.
You must avoid wearing contact lenses for at least 2 weeks after surgery to prevent pulling on the healing eyelids and to avoid corneal irritation. Glasses must be worn during this time.
Temporary dry, itchy, or watery eyes are very common during the first few weeks of recovery. Your surgeon will recommend lubricating eye drops to keep your eyes comfortable.
The removal of fat bags is generally permanent. While your skin will continue to age naturally, the rejuvenating effects of the surgery typically last 10 to 15 years.
