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.
Lozza 747I 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.
Kay FitbitI 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.
Carol PeelWhat 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.

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:
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.
