Eyelid Surgery is carried out at our Edgbaston clinic, 88 Hagley Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham B16 8LU, in a minor operations theatre with a surgical nurse present throughout. It is the only Private Medical Clinic site where surgery is performed, so wherever you are in the Midlands this is where you would come.
Performed by Mr Samuel George, consultant plastic surgeon, in our minor operations theatre in Edgbaston, under local anaesthetic as a day case. Assessment comes first and nothing is done at that appointment, so you leave with a diagnosis and a written price rather than a decision made under pressure. No referral is needed and you do not need to be registered with us.
If you are outside Birmingham, our national eyelid surgery page covers the procedure in full and links to every location offering it.

Our Edgbaston clinic AND SURGICAL THEATRE
Your procedure takes place in our own minor operations theatre, not in a consulting room with the lights turned up. It is at 88 Hagley Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham B16 8LU, and it is the surgical site for the whole Private Medical Clinic network.
A surgical nurse is with you from the moment you come through to theatre until you leave, which counts for more than it sounds when you are awake for your own operation. Everything is under local anaesthetic as a day case, so there is no general anaesthetic, no overnight stay, and you are home the same day.
I am your SURGEON
You will see me throughout the journey - at consultation, on the day of surgery, and at every review afterwards.

Am I suitable, and IS IT THE LID OR THE BROW?
This is the question that decides whether you will be happy with the result, and it is the one most consultations skip. Hooded upper lids can come from excess lid skin, from a brow that has descended, or from ptosis, where the lid margin itself sits low because the muscle has weakened. They look similar in the mirror and they need different operations.
Blepharoplasty addresses excess lid skin. It will not lift a heavy brow, and it will not correct ptosis. Operating on the wrong one is how people end up disappointed after surgery that was technically well done. At your consultation the surgeon works out which you have, and tells you plainly if eyelid surgery is not the answer.
Lower lids are a different judgement again. Under-eye bags from herniated fat respond well. Fine crepey skin, dark circles from pigment, and hollowing from volume loss do not, and are better treated non-surgically or left alone. Adults aged 18 and over, and a 14-day cooling-off period applies.
How BLEPHAROPLASTY WORKS
Step by Step, With Nothing Glossed Over
Upper eyelid surgery is done through an incision in the natural crease of the lid, so the scar sits hidden when your eyes are open. Excess skin, and a strip of muscle and fat where needed, is removed and the incision closed with very fine sutures.
Lower eyelid surgery is approached either just below the lash line or from inside the lid, depending on whether skin needs removing as well as fat repositioning. Where only fat is involved, the incision inside the lid leaves no visible scar at all.
Both are done under local anaesthetic with you awake, taking about an hour for one pair of lids. There is no general anaesthetic and no overnight stay, and you go home the same day with someone to drive you.
Realistic results AND THE GROWTH TIMELINE

Sutures removed. Bruising turning yellow and starting to fade.
Stage 4
WEEKS 3 TO 6
Presentable in public, and most people are back at work well before this.
Stage 5
WEEKS 6 TO 12
Swelling resolved, scars fading, the result settling into its final shape.
Stage 6
MONTHS 6 TO 12
Scars pale to near invisible in the crease. Upper lid results last many years.

Eyelid Surgery BEFORE AND AFTER RESULTS

Every image here is a real patient of this clinic who has given documented written consent, and the results shown are typical rather than the best we have ever achieved.

All Your Questions, ANSWERED
Everything you need to know about your hair transplant.
Upper eyelid surgery is £2,695, lower is £2,995, and both together are £4,995. The consultation is £195 and is with the surgeon. We publish these because most clinics make you enquire, and the enquiry is where the pressure starts.
No, and this matters. Blepharoplasty removes excess eyelid skin. If your hooding comes mainly from a descended brow, a blepharoplasty will not fix it and may even accentuate it. The surgeon works out which you have at the consultation.
Upper eyelid results typically last many years and for a lot of people are effectively permanent, because the skin removed does not come back. Lower lid results are durable too, though ageing continues in the surrounding tissue.
Only where excess lid skin measurably obstructs your vision, which requires a visual field test showing the obstruction. Eyelid surgery for appearance is not funded. Most people who ask this question find they do not meet the threshold, which is why they come to us.
At our Edgbaston clinic upper blepharoplasty is £2,695, lower is £2,995, and both together are £4,995, with a £195 consultation that is with the surgeon. We publish these because most clinics require an enquiry first.
Upper eyelid results typically last many years and for a lot of people are effectively permanent, because the skin removed does not return. Ageing continues in the surrounding tissue, so the brow and the skin around the eye carry on changing.
No. Both upper and lower blepharoplasty are performed under local anaesthetic as a day case, so you are awake with the eyelids numb. That avoids the risks and the recovery of a general anaesthetic entirely.
Most people are presentable at around two weeks and comfortable in photographs at three to four. Bruising peaks at days two to four, which is the stage people are least prepared for. Full settling takes two to three months.
Usually not. Dark circles from pigment or from hollowing are not surgical problems, and blepharoplasty can occasionally make hollowing look worse. We will tell you that at the consultation rather than after.
The surgical term for eyelid surgery: removal of excess skin, and sometimes muscle and fat, from the upper or lower eyelids. Upper blepharoplasty addresses hooding; lower blepharoplasty addresses under-eye bags.
Sleep on your back with your head elevated for the first week, which reduces swelling considerably. Most people return to sleeping on their side at around one to two weeks, once the swelling has settled and the sutures are out.
