OPERATION: Upper eyelift (or blepharoplasty) surgery to correct hooded eyelids
1 Why are you having your upper eyelift surgery?
eg How did you feel about your body/face before the surgery and did this affect your confidence?
I was unhappy with the heaviness of my upper eyelids. I felt it made me look tired and aged me
2 What research did you do prior to booking?
I was looking for a consultation when my daughter mentioned that Mr Lambe had a really good reputation for blepharoplasty surgery.
3 How did you feel after booking your consultation with Jayne?
I felt excited whilst a little anxious and I was keen to go ahead with the consultation.
Jayne was really helpful and reassuring. She kept me informed throughout my contact.
4 What questions did you have at your consultation?
I wanted to know if Dr Lambe could see the issue concerning me and his view of the best approach. I wanted to see photos of other patients who had had the procedure. I asked about risks and recovery time.
5 How did you feel after your consultation with Mr Lambe?
I felt informed and reassured of his experience. I like his warm friendly approach.
I felt all my questions had been answered and I was keen to progress
6 Any tips for anyone thinking of having this surgery?
Look at reviews. Helpful if you know someone who has used the surgeon for the procedure you are considering.
Go for the consultation and be prepared to ask any questions you have
7 How was your recovery from your eyelift? What did you expect and how was it different?
I had an excellent recovery.
I expected much more bruising than I got. I think choosing the local anaesthetic option I recovered more quickly.
I did follow all pre-treatment and post-treatment advice
8 How was your aftercare experience? What really helped?
Cleansing the area as per advice.
Not scratching itchy bits!
Taking daily pics of progress…
9 What do you think of your eyelift results?
Very very pleased. I can wear eye makeup again and you can see my lashes!
10 How has cosmetic surgery changed your life?
I feel much more confident.
Thank you xx
More Eyelift Questions
We are sometimes asked the following questions from patients considering eyelid surgery.
What is the cost of eyelift surgery?
The good news is that the cost of an upper eyelift is a set price here at Reflect Clinic – it is a relatively quick and easy procedure.
What are upper eyelift results like?
The results are usually excellent as can be seen from our many patient reviews (see below).
After surgery you will have a more open-eyed, less tired appearance to the eyes. You will no longer look tired (as mentioned by many patients) when you are not and it will be much easier to apply your eye makeup (eyeshadow, eyeliner) without it rubbing off as the excess eyelid skin rubs on the eyelid).
Mascara will also be easier to apply and won’t smudge or blacken your upper eyelid area under your brow as the excess skin touches the eyelashes while your mascara is drying.
