What is Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)?

Before considering the cost, it’s helpful to know what blepharoplasty involves. This cosmetic surgery removes excess skin or fat from the upper or lower eyelids, helping to refresh the eye area and create a more youthful appearance. While it is not a facelift or brow lift, it can significantly improve the overall look of your eyes.

Blepharoplasty is usually performed under general anaesthetic, though in some cases, local anaesthetic with sedation may be an option. The procedure typically takes up to two hours, depending on its complexity.

Many patients choose to treat both the upper and lower eyelids at the same time, but this should be discussed with your surgeon during your consultation to determine the best approach for you.

Before surgery, a thorough pre-operative consultation will be conducted to assess your medical history, lifestyle, and eyelid structure. This allows our surgical team to create a personalised treatment plan designed to deliver safe, natural-looking, and long-lasting results.

Key Factors That Affect the Cost of Blepharoplasty

Several factors influence the cost of blepharoplasty, and the final price will depend on your individual needs, the clinic you choose, and the experience of your surgeon.

The more complex the surgery, the higher the cost is likely to be. For example:

  • Treating both upper and lower eyelids will usually cost more than just an upper or lower eyelid procedure.
  • Combining blepharoplasty with other facial rejuvenation treatments will also increase the total price.
  • If your surgeon needs to perform additional work to achieve your desired results, this can affect the cost.

Your surgeon will review the complexity during your consultation, ensuring there are no hidden fees at a reputable clinic.

Highly experienced surgeons may charge more, but price does not always indicate skill level. When assessing value, it’s important to consider:

  • Before-and-after photos of previous patients
  • Patient testimonials and reviews
  • The surgeon’s credentials and training

Be cautious of unusually low prices, as they may reflect lower experience or limited aftercare. Choosing a skilled surgeon ensures better results and safer outcomes.

Blepharoplasty costs can vary depending on where the clinic is located. For example, London clinics may have higher fees compared with smaller towns or rural areas. Shopping around can give you a general idea of pricing, but always weigh cost against quality, safety, and surgeon expertise.

A pre-operative consultation is essential to discuss your goals, assess suitability, and plan the procedure. Some clinics include this in the price, while others charge separately.

Post-operative follow-ups are also critical to monitor healing, manage any complications, and ensure the best results. When comparing costs, check whether consultations and follow-up appointments are included in the package.

How to Choose the Right Clinic and Surgeon for Blepharoplasty

Selecting the right clinic and surgeon is key to achieving safe, natural-looking results with blepharoplasty. Here are the most important factors to consider:

Surgeon’s skills and experience – While blepharoplasty is generally safe, it should only be performed by a highly trained and experienced surgeon. Choosing a surgeon with extensive knowledge of eyelid procedures helps ensure the best outcomes.

Before and after results – Reviewing before and after photos gives you a clear idea of the surgeon’s capabilities and the results you can expect.

Clinic location – Most blepharoplasties are performed under general or local anaesthetic, meaning you may not be able to drive home afterwards. Selecting a clinic that’s easy to reach and accessible for a friend or family member to accompany you is important for your comfort and safety.

CQC rating – The Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspects and rates clinics and hospitals in England to ensure they meet safety and quality standards. Look for clinics with a “Good” or “Outstanding” rating to ensure your procedure is carried out in a safe, regulated environment.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about eyelid surgery
What is blepharoplasty and what does it treat?
Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids. It is commonly used to address droopy eyelids, eye bags, and hooded eyes, and in some cases, it can also improve vision obstructed by sagging upper eyelids.
Am I a good candidate for blepharoplasty?
You may be a suitable candidate if you have sagging or puffy eyelids that affect your appearance or vision, are in good general health, and have realistic expectations. A consultation at the Minor Surgery Clinic will include a full assessment to determine if this procedure is right for you.
How long does blepharoplasty surgery take?
The procedure typically takes between 60 to 90 minutes, depending on whether you're having upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, or both. If combined with other facial procedures, the surgery may take longer.
Will I have visible scars after blepharoplasty?
Scarring is usually minimal and well hidden within the natural creases of the eyelids. With proper care, scars tend to fade significantly over time and are often barely noticeable.
Is the procedure painful?
Blepharoplasty is performed under local anaesthetic, so you will feel no pain during the surgery. After the procedure, you may experience some mild discomfort or tightness, which is easily managed with prescribed pain relief.
How long do the results last?
The results of blepharoplasty are long-lasting. Many patients enjoy the benefits for ten years or more. However, the natural ageing process will continue, and some minor changes may occur over time.
