Expert Eyelid Surgery at Blue Fin Vision®
If you’re noticing tired, heavy eyelids that affect your appearance or vision, upper blepharoplasty surgery could be the solution you’re looking for. At Blue Fin Vision®, our private eye clinic in North West London offers state-of-the-art upper eyelid blepharoplasty surgery performed by some of the region’s best, top-rated surgeons. Situated at Chase Lodge Hospital in Barnet, our expert team is dedicated to delivering personalised, natural-looking results that rejuvenate your eyes and restore confidence.
What is Upper Blepharoplasty?
Upper blepharoplasty, also known as upper eyelid blepharoplasty surgery, is a specialised form of eyelid surgery aimed at removing excess skin, fat, or muscle from the upper eyelids. Over time, the skin around the eyes can become lax and droopy due to ageing, genetics, or environmental factors. This can lead to a tired or aged appearance and in some cases obstruct peripheral vision.
The procedure corrects this by lifting and tightening the upper eyelids to enhance both visual function and facial aesthetics. It is a subtle yet powerful way to refresh your look without appearing overdone or artificial.

The Upper Blepharoplasty Surgery Experience
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation at Blue Fin Vision® where our top specialists assess your eyelid anatomy, discuss your concerns, and help you understand realistic outcomes. This personalised approach ensures your upper eyelid surgery addresses functional and cosmetic goals confidently.
The Procedure
Upper blepharoplasty surgery typically takes around one to two hours to complete, usually under local anaesthetic with sedation if preferred. The surgeon makes precise incisions along the natural folds of the upper eyelids, removing excess skin and redistributing or removing fat to contour the eyelid shape.
This strategic approach rejuvenates the appearance while preserving eyelid function and expression. The incisions are carefully closed with fine sutures designed to blend seamlessly into the natural creases.
Recovery and Results
Immediately following surgery, patients can expect mild swelling, bruising, and some discomfort which generally improve within two weeks. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions and support to facilitate a smooth recovery.
Upper blepharoplasty before and after photos often reveal a noticeable brightening of the eye area with a lifted, youthful contour. Patients report feeling more alert and confident in their appearance, often experiencing improved peripheral vision as a secondary benefit.
Upper Blepharoplasty Before and After: What to Expect
The transformation from upper blepharoplasty is both subtle and impactful. Before and after images showcase the clearance of sagging eyelid skin, reduction of puffiness, and restoration of a refreshed eye shape. The best results maintain your natural look while erasing signs of tiredness or age.
Our top surgeons at Blue Fin Vision® ensure results that enhance your individuality – your eyes become your best feature once more, without sacrificing your unique character or expressions.
