Blepharoplasty in Milton Keynes
Our blepharoplasty in Milton Keynes is carried out by our specialist oculoplastic surgeon, Dr Sara Nunez Marquez and can be used to shape, lift end correct the eyelids.
Our expert team frequently conducts eyelid surgery in Milton Keynes to treat a range of defects and deformities of the eyelids and to change the appearance of the eyes. This can be both for aesthetic reasons or to eliminate impaired vision caused by disfigured eyelids.
When To Undergo Our Eyelid Lift
You might consider our eyelid lift in Milton Keynes if droopy or sagging eyelids keep your eyes from opening completely or pull down your lower eyelids. Removing excess tissue from your upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both can improve vision and make your eyes appear younger and more alert.
Blepharoplasty may be an option if you have:
Baggy or droopy upper eyelids
Excess skin of the upper eyelids that interferes with your peripheral vision
Droopy lower eyelids, which may cause white to show below the coloured part of the eye (iris)
Excess skin on the lower eyelids
Bags under your eyes
You may undergo a blepharoplasty at the same time as another procedure, such as a face lift or neck lift.
Eyelid Lift Surgery: What To Expect
During our eyelid lift surgery in Milton Keynes, our surgeon cuts along the creases of your eyelids to trim sagging skin. After the excess skin is removed, our surgeon joins the skin with tiny stitches along your eyelid crease, resulting in scars that will be virtually undetectable over time.
We Also Offer Hooded Eye Surgery
Our hooded eye surgery in Milton Keynes is a form of blepharoplasty that involves removing skin from hooded eyelids to create a smooth lid with no crease. Many people are born with hooded eyes, while others develop them as they age.

At LasaDerm, our eyelid surgery in Milton Keynes is usually done under local anaesthetic, so you can go home straight after. The procedure is usually one hour for upper eyelids and two hours for both upper and lower eyelids.
Losing skin elasticity and muscle tone around the eyes is common as we get older. The result is loose folds of skin on the upper eyelids and deep creases under your lower eyelids. The fat underneath your eyes may take on a ‘baggy’ appearance, and the effects can be made worse by excessive sun exposure, smoking and hereditary factors.
Besides making you look older, the severely sagging skin around your eyes can reduce your side vision (peripheral vision), especially the upper and outer parts of your field of vision. Our blepharoplasty in Milton Keynes can reduce or eliminate these vision problems and make your eyes appear younger and more alert.
Your medical history: Your surgeon will ask questions about previous surgeries and past or current conditions. They will also ask about your use of regular medications.
Our expectations: An honest discussion of your hopes and motivation for surgery will help set the stage for a satisfactory outcome. Your surgeon will discuss whether the procedure is likely to work well for you.
Before your eyelid surgery, you will undergo:
Eyelid photography: Your eyes will be photographed from different angles. These photos help with planning the surgery, assessing its immediate and long-term effects.
You will be asked to:
Stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, and any other medication or herbal supplement associated with increased bleeding. It is best not to take these medications and supplements for two days before and after surgery. Take only medications approved by your surgeon.
Arrange for someone to drive you to and from surgery.
After the procedure, you will be ready to go home with your aftercare instructions. You will need to be driven home, so ensure you have a friend or relative that is able to do this.
After surgery, you may temporarily experience:
Blurred vision from the lubricating ointment applied to your eyes
Watering eyes
Light sensitivity
Double vision
Redness where the cuts were made
Puffy, numb eyelids
Swelling and bruising similar to having “black eyes”
Pain in some patients
Your surgeon will likely suggest you take the following steps after surgery:
Gently clean your eyelids and use prescribed eye drops or ointments.
Avoid straining, heavy lifting and swimming for a few days.
Avoid strenuous activities, such as aerobics and jogging, for a few days.
Avoid rubbing your eyes.
If you use contact lenses, don’t put them in for about two weeks after surgery.
Wear darkly tinted sunglasses to protect the skin of your eyelids from the sun and wind.
Sleep with your head raised higher than your chest for a few days.
Apply cool compresses to reduce swelling.
After one week, return to the clinic to have stitches removed, if needed.
For a few days, avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, and other medications or herbal supplements that may increase bleeding. If needed, use paracetamol to control pain.
There is a degree of risk associated with any type of surgery. Possible risks of undergoing our eye lift or hooded eye surgery in Milton Keynes include:
Infection and bleeding
Dry, irritated eyes
Difficulty closing your eyes or other eyelid problems
Noticeable scarring
Injury to eye muscles
Skin discolouration
The need for a follow-up surgery
Temporarily blurred vision
Talk to your surgeon about how the surgical risks apply to you. Understanding what is involved in blepharoplasty and weighing the benefits and risks can help you decide if this procedure is a good option for you.
My Confidence Has Been Transformed
"After undergoing an eyelid lift in Milton Keynes, my eyes appear brighter and more youthful. I feel like a new woman! Over the years, I had noticed the skin around my eyes sagging and thought that I would just have to put up with this change. I am so relieved that I decided to book a consultation with Lasaderm, during which all of my questions were answered and the surgery was explained to me in detail. My results look incredibly natural and have given me a much-needed confidence boost."
