Changes in the eyelid area, such as excess skin on the upper eyelid, may develop over time. In some cases, this excess skin can interfere with vision or daily activities. For individuals experiencing these concerns, blepharoplasty surgery may be an option to consider.
Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a procedure performed to address concerns related to the eyelids. Dr. Bish Soliman, Specialist Plastic Surgeon, conducts a thorough consultation to assess each patient’s health, discuss their goals, and determine whether this procedure is appropriate for their needs.
A consultation with Dr. Soliman is essential to determine suitability for blepharoplasty. During this consultation, your medical history, general health, and expectations for the procedure will be discussed in detail to ensure an individualized surgical plan.

Blepharoplasty is performed as a day surgery procedure and can be performed under either local or general anaesthesia.
Upper Blepharoplasty
This procedure takes 45 minutes to perform. Dr Bish surgically removes the excess skin, muscle and fat from the upper eyelid.
Lower Blepharoplasty
This procedure is more involved and takes 60-90 minutes to perform. Dr Bish combines an external skin excision with an internal trans-conjunctival approach to address the lower eyelid. This approach leaves the eye muscle intact which reduces the risk of complications. Sometimes the lower eyelid requires suspension with internal sutures, called a canthopexy.
Sometimes midfacial volume requires replacement. Dr Bish does this by fat injections to address volume loss.
