Oculoplastics
Why choose Oculoplastics?
The main reasons why patients undergo eyelid surgery are to improve the function of the eyelids, the way they look and to remove lumps from the eyelids. The appearance of one's eyes are central to facial expression, and this is affected by age changes of the eyelids. The main eyelid procedure is called blepharoplasty, it is one of the most commonly performed plastic surgery procedures worldwide.
Patients often remark that they look less tired, and more energised in themselves after blepharoplasties. The growth in popularity of this procedure is thought to be due to the importance of appearance in the workplace and a wish to look younger, be more active and see better.
