Have you been thinking about getting blepharoplasty surgery? If so, you’re not alone. We will discuss with you; what it entails, how much it costs, what to expect after your procedure and also what your recovery will look like.

A blepharoplasty reshapes the skin around your eyes by removing the excess tissue from either above or below the eye.

What is a Blepharoplasty?

Eyelid surgery refers to a surgical procedure that improves the shape of the eyelids and reduces sagging eyelid skin. You can have either an upper or lower Blepharoplasty.

• An Upper Blepharoplasty removes the excess or stretched skin of the upper eyelid to reduce a puffy, ‘hooded’ eyelid appearance.
• A Lower Blepharoplasty can help surgically reduce under-eye ‘bags’ and provide improvements to under-eye wrinkles, lines and puffiness.

• More youthful eye appearance
• Less under-eye bags
• Baggy, puffy skin below your eyes can make you look tired and fatigued.
• Fewer visible fine lines
• Improve your vision
• As well as, a confidence boost from physical improvements

Eyelid surgery incurs risks and complications like all invasive surgery. However, your surgeon will make you aware of potential complications at your consultation. This may include things like general anaesthesia, bleeding and infection, as well as, wound healing, scarring, redness, itchiness and numbness. It’s important you arm yourself with information, ask questions, do not smoke before or after your procedure and read and understand your risks.

This complete guide to Eyelid Surgery covers everything you need to know about this procedure.

The cost of surgery depends on a number of factors, including your Surgeon’s level of expertise and the condition of your eyelid area. This means the price for eyelid surgery in Melbourne can vary quite a lot. Therefore we will be able to give you a quote during your consultation.

We also provide information on Blepharoplasty and Medicare Rebates, Private Health Insurance, different methods of payment and information about a Eyelid Surgery Payment Plan. You may also want to apply to use your Super.

Not all Surgeons have the same experience or intensive training and qualifications. Be sure you learn the differences between a Plastic Surgeon and a Cosmetic Surgeon.

Choosing a Specialist Plastic Surgeon means you are choosing an accredited recognised plastic surgeon who only performs surgery in an accredited hospital. Look for surgeons that are members of FRACS, ASPS, ASAPS or ISAPS as some of the qualifications of your Plastic Surgeon. You can also check Melbourne, Perth and Sydney Plastic Surgeons credentials at AHRPA and FRACS.
