What Is Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty?
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty, often called an eyelid lift, is a surgery that treats loose skin, bulging fat, and weakened muscles in the upper eyelid. It targets the area between the eyebrow and the lash line to create a firmer, more defined eyelid shape.
This procedure is ideal for those experiencing hooding, eyelid heaviness, or reduced vision caused by overhanging skin. With a precise technique and a small incision placed in the natural eyelid crease, the surgery delivers long-lasting, natural-looking results.
After the procedure, you can expect a refreshed appearance, minimal scarring, and a smooth recovery.
Cost: Starts From £2800
How Does Upper Eyelid Surgery Work?
Upper lid surgery targets the region between the eyebrow and the lash line by removing the excess skin and fat that creates a hooded effect.
A small incision is placed in the natural eyelid crease. Through this opening, surplus skin and fat are removed, and the muscle may be tightened to support a more defined shape.
The procedure is performed under local or twilight anaesthesia using a technique aimed at a clean scar line and steady healing.
The results include a brighter, more open eye area and a wider field of vision if sagging skin was blocking your line of sight.

- Khadeeja Naqvi
Dr Tanov is a medically qualified doctor who, unlike other aesthetic practitioners, knows all about anatomy and explains in detail any potential complications that can sometimes occur with treatments. He takes time with each patient to advise on what treatments would suit the patient's needs; he will never advise on any treatment he does not feel is right for the patient. I have been extremely happy with my treatment plan, and my results have been better than I have ever achieved elsewhere. Dr Tanov is highly knowledgeable and offers the latest treatments, some not available anywhere else in the northeast. Approachable, passionate, confident and friendly, I would highly recommend.
