Lower Lid Blepharoplasty

After many years of performing upper and lower eye lid blepharoplasty my patients now often ask for this to be performed under local anaesthetic. It is straight forward to do this for the upper eyelid but more difficult with the lower.

I perform the procedure as an outpatient in my own operating theatre so there is no need to visit a hospital and no need to have a general anaesthetic. You will only need to visit for a couple of hours on the day of surgery and most patients are suture free and applying make-up after 10 days.

I first draw on the skin and plan exactly how much skin and soft tissue needs to be removed. I then inject the local anaesthetic and perform the operation. This is all done without a general anaesthetic and without sedation. You will be fully conscious although I do give a very small dose of diazepam as a pre-med. This maintains consciousness but reduces anxiety. My team will look after you from start to finish.
