Eyelid Reduction Surgery Eye lid reduction (Blepharoplasty) is a cosmetic procedure to remove excess skin from the upper and/or lower eyelids.
We have a team of consultant plastic surgeons who offer tailored operations to suit individual needs including surgical eye lid reduction, tear trough filler or laser resurfacing .
If you are considering eye lid reduction surgery you can book an consultation with one of our Consultant Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons to gain a full understanding of eye lid reduction and a chance to raise any concerns you may have with the procedure.
What happens during a surgical eye lid reduction?
During the surgical eye lid reduction, the surgeon will remove unwanted skin, fat and muscle through a incision along the eyelid crease. The surgeon then closes up the incision, which will hide the scar in the natural fold of the eyelid.
The price can vary if you require both upper and lower eye lid reduction surgery.
If you would like to find out more, you can book a consultation with one of our Consultant Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons to discuss possible surgery.
Before considering surgery it is important to be aware that all surgical procedures carries a certain amount of risk and it is important that you understand the risks involved with eye lid reduction.

The Main Treatment guide price covers your stay in hospital as long as it is clinically necessary. This guide price includes all pre-operative tests that the Hospital requires to ensure you are fit for surgery, the fees for your consultant and anaesthetist to perform the procedure, and any nursing care, medication and food after. However, if your consultant advises that you need a different prosthesis, or you request a non standard item, then the guide price for your treatment will alter. This will be made clear to you before you go ahead with your treatment and will become the ‘fixed price’. The payment for the main treatment is due in full, ten days prior to your admission date.
Post discharge care following your discharge from Hospital is included in your fixed price care package. This price includes a single post-op consultant consultation and physiotherapy visits (up to the number stated), removal of any stitches, change of dressings and any medication you need to take home with you. The main treatment price also includes the cost of treating any complications at the Hospital for 365 days following the date of your procedure where those complications arise directly out of the treatment you receive as part of your treatment package and are identified within 365 days of your discharge from Hospital, provided that you have followed the advice of your Consultants and any other medical professionals involved in your care following the procedure. This includes any consultations, outpatient, day-care and inpatient treatment that the Consultant says you need and which the Hospital agrees to provide.
