Are Drooping Lids or Eye Bags 
Affecting How You Look or Feel?
As we age, the delicate skin around the eyes 
naturally loses its firmness. This can lead to 
drooping eyelids, puffiness, or deep creases that 
make you look tired, even when you feel well.
Who We Often Help With This Procedure
We see patients of all ages who feel their eyelids are 
drawing attention, or beginning to affect function:
Those with heavy upper lids or under-eye bags: Including puffiness, hooding, or loose skin affecting 
comfort or       appearances
Patients whose eyelids make them look tired or older: Even when well-rested, their expression 
doesn’t reflect how they feel.
Individuals seeking a natural, refreshed look: Ideal for those wanting subtle rejuvenation without 
dramatic change.

What We’ll Discuss Around 
Safety, Scarring & Recovery
You’ll be shown exactly where any incisions will be made. In upper eyelid surgery, the scar 
sits discreetly in the eyelid crease.
In lower eyelid surgery, it’s either hidden beneath the lashes or placed internally, depending on your 
anatomy.
Recovery includes:
● Swelling and bruising for 5–10 days
● Return to work within 7–10 days (for most desk-based jobs)
● Avoidance of strenuous exercise for 2–3 weeks
● Use of cool compresses and lubricating drops (if advised)
A Tailored Always 
Approach: Not Bespoke
a One-Size- No two eyes are the same, and no 
two patients age the same way. We 
Fits-All Surgery plan your procedure individually, 
based on facial balance, skin quality, 
eye shape, and desired outcome.
For some, this may mean removing skin only. 
For others, subtle fat redistribution or support 
to the lower lid is needed.
We also consider how your eyes relate to the 
surrounding features — including the brow, 
cheek, and midface. A tailored approach 
ensures your result looks balanced, natural, 
and in harmony with the rest of your face.
