It is often combined with other cosmetic treatments such as a brow lift and face lift although it can be also be carried out on its own.
You may decide to have both the upper and lower eyelids corrected or you may decide to have only upper eyelid or lower eyelid surgery in Sydney – it’s up to you. Dr Evans will be able to help you with your decision, which ultimately depends on your condition and the results you are hoping to achieve.

Why do people undergo blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)?
Blepharoplasty is a short but highly effective procedure that often delivers immediate changes with very little down time. It’s ideal for those seeking a more youthful and rejuvenated facial appearance and can help to improve a person’s physical and psychological well being. Dr Evans will consider patients fit for treatment if they
- Are in a good physical condition
- Have realistic expectations of what can be achieved
- Are bothered by the signs of ageing in the eye area
So, what can patients expect when undergoing cosmetic eyelid surgery in Sydney?
Stage 1 – The consultation
Dr Evans will ask you to point out what you don’t like about your eyes and what you are hoping to get out of the procedure. After checking your medical records, he will discuss the possibilities with you given your existing age, profile, and condition.
Be sure to mention any medications that you are taking and in particular, any history of dry eyes, repeated conjunctivitis and glaucoma. Some eye disorders can make eye surgery in Sydney more of a risk, so you should always mention any form of eye problems that you might be aware of during this initial consultation.
Having established what can be done, some photographs will be taken and any questions, concerns or fears that you have will be answered.
Note: Do remember that a blepharoplasty is not designed to get rid of eye wrinkles located in the outer corners of your eyes. These are what are known as ‘crow’s feet’ and are better removed using safe and proven non-surgical methods like laser resurfacing treatment. Or with anti-wrinkle injection treatments, dermal fillers or, a combination of both.
Stage 2 – The surgery
The whole procedure takes between 1 and 2 hours depending on whether only the lower or upper eyelids are corrected or whether both are done.
Stage 3 – The recovery
Note: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should always seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
