With years of specialised experience, Mr. Harley has helped countless patients restore a more youthful, alert appearance through expertly performed eyelid surgery.
Understanding Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Eyelid surgery, medically known as blepharoplasty, is a sophisticated procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the eyelids. This transformative cosmetic surgery addresses:
- Droopy or hooded upper eyelids that can make you look tired or aged
- Excess skin that may interfere with vision in severe cases
- Puffy under-eye bags that create a constantly fatigued appearance
- Fine wrinkles and creases around the lower eyelids
- Overall tired or aged appearance around the eyes
As the eyes are often the first feature people notice, eyelid surgery can dramatically refresh your entire facial appearance, helping you look more rested, alert and youthful.

Eyelid Surgery Techniques: Tailored to Your Needs
Mr. Harley offers various blepharoplasty techniques to address different concerns:
Upper Eyelid Surgery
This procedure removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids, correcting hooding and creating a more open, refreshed eye appearance. Incisions are carefully placed within the natural crease of the upper eyelid, ensuring virtually invisible scarring once healed.
Lower Eyelid Surgery
Focused on removing or repositioning fat that causes under-eye bags and tightening loose skin, this procedure creates a smoother, more youthful under-eye contour. Depending on your needs, incisions may be placed just below the lash line or inside the eyelid (transconjunctival approach), minimising visible scarring.
Combined Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty
Many patients benefit from addressing both upper and lower eyelids simultaneously for comprehensive rejuvenation. This approach provides harmonious results and a single recovery period.
Additional Techniques
When appropriate, Mr. Harley may recommend complementary procedures such as:
- Fat grafting to restore volume in hollow areas
- Canthopexy to support the outer eye corners
- Skin resurfacing to improve skin texture and fine lines
Mr. Harley will recommend the most appropriate approach based on your unique facial anatomy and desired outcome during your plastic surgery consultation.
