Blepharoplasty (eyelid Or Eye Bag Surgery) Background Information

Upper and lower eyelid surgery or blepharoplasties are the 5th most common surgical procedure in the U.S. with 113,229 procedures performed in 2019. This represents a decrease of 2.0% on 2018 figures, and a decrease of 8.8% on the number of operations originally recorded for the procedure in 2015, when it was the 4th most popular surgical procedure, according to statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).

As we age, our skin can become thinner and less stretchy. Our muscles can weaken and fat that cushions the eyeball moves forward through spaces in the muscle around the eyes, causing "bags". Sagging upper eyelids may result in a “hooded” appearance over the eyes. In severe cases of eyelid hooding, vision can be affected.

It is often our eyelids which show the signs of ageing first which is why this can be the first cosmetic treatment which a man or a woman might choose. Eyelid surgery can help restore a more youthful appearance by tightening droopy or hooded eyelids, restoring the smooth line of the eyelids, and removing or moving fatty pouches beneath the eyes.

Some people suffer from eyebags, caused by pseudohernias of fat (which is fat pushing through the wall of the eye muscle) at a young age. This tends to be hereditary (an inherited condition from within the family) and can be corrected with a lower eyelid blepharoplasty.

Blepharoplasty, however, cannot remove dark circles under the eyes caused by dark pigmentation of the skin or by very thin, translucent (“see-through”) skin. It does not smooth fine lines and wrinkles around the eye or "crows' feet". It cannot lift sagging eyebrows either.

Low eyebrows can only be raised in a brow lift operation.

Blepharoplasties are sometimes performed alongside a brow (forehead) lift or face lift. It can also be combined with laser skin resurfacing or a chemical peel to smooth wrinkles, or with botulinum toxin injections to produce a better final overall result.

If you are considering eyelid surgery, the following information will give you a basic understanding of the procedure. It can't answer all your questions, since a lot depends on the individual patient and the surgeon.
 
Please ask a surgeon about anything you don't understand.

What should you do after a Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) operation?

It is very important that you follow the advice of your surgeon carefully after your treatment.

Post - surgery advice may include:

  • using recommended painkillers as required;
  • using cold compresses after surgery to help reduce the swelling around the eyes;
  • bathing the area around the eyes to keep it clean. Eyedrops may also be recommended if you experience any dry or itchy eye problems;
  • applying any antibiotic ointment recommended to reduce the chance of infection in the treated area;
  • your surgeon advising you when to begin exercising and more strenuous activities as sweating and the shaking or jarring of the skin is not always helpful to the healing process;
  • contacting your surgeon immediately if you notice any signs of infection or if you experience bleeding or a sudden increase in pain.


What are the risks and potential complications from Blepharoplasty surgery?

The eyes can be uncomfortable and swollen following surgery to your eyelids. The pain usually stops a few days after the surgery, but swelling may persist for over two weeks.

Other risks or complications following blepharoplasty include some minor and temporary difficulties such as:
temporary blurred vision; dry or gritty eyes; temporary problems with too much tear production; difficulty closing the eyelids completely.

The following are more serious but unusual difficulties following eyelid surgery: infection; bruising; a reaction to the anaesthetic; nerve damage; the occurrence of asymmetries (i.e. the eyes looking lop-sided) or irregularities in the eyelid.

A more serious, but very rare side effect, is bleeding behind the eye (retrobulbar haematoma).

Who can perform eyelid surgery (Blepharoplasty)?

Only fully trained and qualified Surgeons should perform a Blepharoplasty or Eyelid Surgery procedure.

For more information about practitioner training, qualifications and relevant medical organisations please view the information contained within the Legislation section of the Consulting Room.

Is Blepharoplasty available on the NHS?

It is unlikely that anyone considering upper or lower eyelid surgery would be able to access this free of charge on the National Health Service.

However certain regions do make special cases, especially in situations where hooding of the upper eyelid is impairing your vision. We would always recommend that you visit your General Practitioner before embarking upon a cosmetic procedure involving surgery.

As well as their advice and guidance they may also be able to refer you to a local NHS Hospital who can treat you.

The NHS has set out the following guidelines on how to get cosmetic surgery through the NHS:

"To qualify for surgery on the NHS you must meet specific criteria as set out by your local health authority. The NHS will not pay for surgery for cosmetic reasons alone. Reconstructive and cosmetic surgery to correct, or improve, congenital abnormalities and injuries will usually be carried out free of charge.

NHS reconstructive surgery is performed by plastic surgeons who have had extensive training and belong to the British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons. Surgeons who carry out cosmetic surgery through the NHS also belong to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons.

To receive cosmetic surgery from the NHS, you will normally need a referral from your GP. You will have a consultation with a plastic surgeon and an assessment by a psychiatrist, or psychologist. It will then be decided whether there is enough social, psychological, or physical benefit to be gained to justify surgery."

Summary of advice for Blepharoplasty surgery

Blepharoplasty, or upper and lower eyelid surgery is a very common procedure that can make quite a dramatic difference to your appearance, especially if you have large bags underneath your eyes.

Although surgery is involved, a local anaesthetic reduces risks, and in the hands of a skilled surgeon there are generally few problems after this operation.

Before and after photographs of eyelid and eye bag surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Please note that results of cosmetic surgery vary enormously, depending upon both the patient and the skill of the individual surgeon, so outcomes for procedures will always be more variable than those for less invasive non-surgical treatments.

(All before and after photographs featured are real patients treated by highly experienced surgeons, your results may differ).
