Read About Our Happy Patients

What a great experience! Very reassuring and I am very grateful for the consultation from Dr Musa he was so helpful in helping me make a decision to proceed to having eye correction surgery. I have the upmost confidence in him and the team at the Eye Doctor Clinic, Huddersfield.

I had implants with Dr Musa ten years ago. It was the best thing I've ever done. They are brilliant. My sight both near and distant was very poor but since the op I've had no glasses no lenses and my sight has been super. It remains really good to this day. Thank you Dr Musa. Brilliant consultations and treatment for glaucoma since.

I can highly recommend the Eye Doctor Clinic, and I am so pleased I went there. Dr Musa, Gemma and Jess are lovely. They are very knowledgeable and were able to answer all my questions. My vision following surgery is great, and not having to wear glasses is fantastic.

What is Upper Blepharoplasty?

Heavy eyelids develop when the delicate skin above your eyes loses its firm structure due to age or gravity. When this tissue falls too low, it creates a tired appearance and can sometimes obstruct clear vision.

Upper blepharoplasty is a precise medical procedure designed to lift the eyelid and gently remove excess skin or fat. In simple terms, our surgeon makes a minute, hidden cut in the natural fold of your eye to remove excess tissue, opening your eye and restoring a fresh appearance.

Why choose Upper Blepharoplasty?

If left untreated, droopy eyelids can cause long-term discomfort and make your face look constantly exhausted. You may choose an upper eyelid lift if you experience:

A heavy, tired feel around your eyes
Skin that falls over your upper lash line
Difficulty with clear sight due to low eyelids
A constant need to raise your forehead to see clearly
Headaches from muscle strain

Dr Musa and team will assess your eyelids, related symptoms, and the health of the tissue around your eyes to determine whether this surgery is the safest path forward for you.

How Does Upper Blepharoplasty Work?

Upper blepharoplasty is a highly advanced technique to restore the proper contour of your upper eyelids. Once we administer a local anaesthetic to numb the areas around your eyes for your absolute comfort, our specialist creates a minute, hidden incision within the natural crease of your lid.

Then, the excess skin and small fat pockets are gently removed. The entire procedure takes roughly 45 to 60 minutes. Our expert's specific approach will ensure proper eyelid elevation and protect your delicate eyes.

Not at all. We gently numb your eyelids with a local anaesthetic to ensure you are entirely comfortable and pain-free from start to finish.

Anti-wrinkle injections can temporarily lift the brow area, but surgery is the definitive way to remove excess skin and restore clear vision.

While you can return to desk work in just a few days, full stability and the fading of any minor surgical marks can take several weeks.
