Blepharoplasty - An Introduction
Blepharoplasty (eyelid) surgery is fast becoming one of the most popular types of cosmetic surgery performed in the UK. The aim of this web site is to provide you with a comprehensive range of information about blepharoplasty, which will help you to make an informed decision about this procedure.
There are many reasons for undergoing blepharoplasty, either medical or cosmetic. Whatever the reasons for having this type of cosmetic surgery, it is always wise to check that your surgeon is fully qualified, for example, is listed on the specialist register of Plastic Surgery held by the General Medical Council (GMC) and has performed this procedure before. Ideally, he/she will be a member of a professional organisation such as the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS).
It is a good idea to check that your initial consultation is with the surgeon who will perform your blepharoplasty and not a member of the clinic staff or a nurse. This is very important as undergoing cosmetic surgery is not a step to be taken lightly and you need to be reassured that your chosen surgeon is well trained and competent. It will help if you can form a good rapport with your surgeon who should be able to address any concerns you may have in regard to this procedure.
Your surgeon should talk you through all aspects of the surgery, which include the benefits, risks and outcome. Make sure you are satisfied with this before making any final decision.
Also, when attending a consultation with your chosen cosmetic surgeon, you should ask to see ‘Before’ and ‘After’ photographs of the eyelid operations that they have performed.
