What Is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the eyelids by removing or repositioning excess skin and fatty tissue. As we age, the delicate tissues around the eyes can lose elasticity, resulting in:
-
Sagging upper eyelids
-
Hooded eyelids
-
Excess eyelid skin
-
Puffiness around the eyes
-
Bags under the eyes
-
Tired or aged appearance
-
Impaired peripheral vision due to drooping eyelids
Aesthetic eyelid surgery can address these concerns, creating a smoother, firmer, and more youthful eye contour while maintaining a natural appearance.
Types of Blepharoplasty
Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty
Upper eyelid surgery focuses on removing excess skin and tissue from the upper eyelids. This can:
-
Improve the appearance of hooded eyes
-
Create a more open and refreshed look
-
Reduce heaviness of the eyelids
-
Improve vision when excess skin obstructs the visual field
Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty
Lower eyelid surgery addresses:
-
Eye bags
-
Puffiness beneath the eyes
-
Excess lower eyelid skin
-
Fine wrinkles and creases
The procedure can create a smoother transition between the lower eyelid and cheek, helping patients achieve a more youthful appearance.

The Blepharoplasty Procedure
Blepharoplasty is usually performed under local anaesthetic in our very comfortable memory-foam operating chairs whilst you are wrapped in a warm blanket and listening to either relaxing music or your favourite Netflix show.
For upper eyelid surgery, carefully planned incisions are placed within the natural eyelid crease, ensuring scars are discreet and well concealed.
For lower eyelid surgery, incisions may be placed just below the eyelashes or inside the eyelid, depending on the treatment required.
Excess skin, muscle, and fat are removed or repositioned to create a smoother, more youthful eyelid contour while preserving natural facial expression.
Recovery After Eyelid Surgery
Most patients experience:
-
Mild swelling and bruising for one to two weeks
-
Minimal discomfort
-
Gradual improvement in appearance over several weeks
Patients are typically able to return to light activities within a few days, although recovery times vary between individuals.
Mr Scott will provide detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and optimise your results.

Blepharoplasty Cardiff – Frequently Asked Questions
How long do blepharoplasty results last?
Results are typically long-lasting, with many patients enjoying the benefits of eyelid surgery for many years.
Will there be visible scars?
Incisions are carefully positioned within natural eyelid creases or hidden inside the eyelid whenever possible. Scars generally heal very well and become barely noticeable.
Is blepharoplasty painful?
Most patients report only mild discomfort following surgery, which is usually well managed with simple pain relief.
How long does recovery take?
Initial swelling and bruising usually settle within one to two weeks, although subtle improvements continue over several months.
Can blepharoplasty improve vision?
Yes. In patients with significant upper eyelid hooding, blepharoplasty can improve peripheral vision by removing excess skin obstructing the visual field.
Can I drive myself home on the day of surgery?
No. We recommend you have someone drive you home from the surgery on the day of your procedure. Alternatively, you could arrange for a taxi to take you home.
