What is blepharoplasty?
We offer blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, in Newcastle My Cosmetic Clinic. This superior cosmetic plastic surgery removes excess skin and fat from your eyes, tightens muscles and reduces wrinkles and black circles under your eyes.
Contact My Cosmetic Clinic in Newcastle and discuss your options to refresh and rejuvenate your eyes today.
In our Newcastle clinic, we use blepharoplasty to restore the naturally rounded shape of your eyes for an open-eyed, fresh appearance.
How a blepharoplasty can help improve the appearance of your eyes
As we age, we lose skin elasticity and can develop excess fat deposits around our eyes. This creates a prematurely aged look and tired, puffy eyes. A blepharoplasty in our Newcastle clinic will restore the naturally rounded shape of your eyes and reduce puffiness for a more youthful appearance.

How cosmetic eye surgery
is performed in our Newcastle clinic
The first step is to attend a consultation with one of our friendly surgeons to discuss your expectations and medical history, conduct an assessment, and discuss treatment options.

we use in our Newcastle clinic?
- Upper blepharoplasty – upper eyelid lift.
- Lower blepharoplasty – lower eyelid lift.
- Double eyelids
What are the risks or complications of the blepharoplasty procedure?
Our surgeons in Newcastle consider blepharoplasty a relatively safe procedure as it is minimally invasive and quick. However, any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. This particular procedure has a low risk of bleeding, infection, scarring, dry eyes or blurred vision.
We recommend sleeping with your head elevated
for the first 2-3 nights to aid in your recovery.
Can you combine another
cosmetic procedure
with an eyelift?
Our skilled surgeons in Newcastle may recommend an upper eyelid blepharoplasty is combined with a brow lift for optimal results. If there are any other cosmetic procedures you wish to combine with an eyelid lift, talk to our qualified plastic surgeons and they can guide you to appropriate treatment packages.
How to prepare for your cosmetic eyelid
surgery in our Newcastle clinic
You will have an initial appointment to discuss your surgery and payment options before setting a date for your procedure. Your surgeon will answer all your questions and concerns at this appointment.
What do you need to do before your surgery?
Before your surgery make sure you understand the risks of the procedure and have firm expectations of your results. Our friendly staff are only a phone call away for any questions or concerns you may have.
What happens on the day of your blepharoplasty?
On the day of your blepharoplasty, you will be welcomed by our friendly staff. Your surgeon will conduct an examination and mark the surgical sites around your eyes before administering an oral sedative. A local anaesthetic is used to numb your eye area before the surgeon begins. Occasionally, a general anaesthetic may be warranted but this will be discussed prior to your day of surgery.
What to expect after your eyelid surgery.
You will have bruising and swelling around your eyes for up to 2 weeks post your eyelid surgery. There will be minimal pain and discomfort but we do recommend you sleep with your head elevated on several pillows for the first couple of nights.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral?
No, you don’t need a referral for a blepharoplasty. You can call My Cosmetic Clinic in Newcastle and make an appointment to discuss your personal situation and expectations with a friendly specialist plastic surgeon.
How long will the results of the surgery last?
The results of an eye reconstructive surgery are permanent, without the need for further surgical interventions. Your surgeon will discuss the expectations and results of the blepharoplasty at your initial consultation in our Newcastle clinic.
How long will it take to recover from the blepharoplasty?
Recovery from blepharoplasty is usually quite quick as this procedure is minimally invasive. The swelling and bruising subside after the first week and you will be able to return to work, exercise and normal activities by then.
What kind of scarring should I expect?
Our expert Newcastle surgeons use the natural eyelid crease of your upper eye and the lower lash line for the lower lid as incision sites. This hides any scarring you may have post your eye lift surgery.
Will health insurance cover blepharoplasty?
Your health insurance may cover blepharoplasty, or partially cover the cost of your surgery if it is a medical necessity due to excess skin causing visual problems. You will need to contact your insurance company to see if you can claim any expenses through them.
