Blepharoplasty (‘bleph’)treatments are currently one of the most popular surgical treatments on Harley Street. Explore our overview and reach out to our team if you have any questions.
Sometimes known as bleph or eyelid lift surgery , blepharoplasty has become one of the most popular surgical procedures in the UK. This delicate procedure helps restore a brighter, more youthful appearance while improving comfort and confidence. The Blepharoplasty procedure is suitable for women and men looking for an effective way to address concerns around the eye area.
Located in the heart of Harley Street, London, our surgical centre is equipped with advanced facilities to ensure safety, precision, and a natural result that complements your unique facial features.
Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgery procedure that targets sagging eyelids and under-eye bags. As we age, over time the skin around the eyes can lose elasticity, leading to drooping, puffiness, or a heavy, tired appearance. In some some cases this can even lead to impaired vision. By removing or repositioning excess fat and tightening the skin and muscles, blepharoplasty restores smoother contours and a refreshed look.
There are two main types of Bleph at our Harley Street clinic:
Upper Blepharoplasty: Focuses on lifting sagging upper eyelids to improve eye shape and definition.
Lower Blepharoplasty: Reduces puffiness and under-eye bags, tightening the skin for a smoother, rested appearance.
Many patients choose to combine both procedures for full rejuvenation of the eye area.

Blepharoplasty is usually performed under local anaesthetic with sedation or general anaesthetic, depending on your treatment plan. During the procedure, your surgeon makes discreet incisions along the natural eyelid creases to minimise visible scarring. Through these incisions, excess skin, fat, or muscle is carefully removed or repositioned to achieve a natural, refreshed result.
Typical treatment duration is 60 – 120 minutes, and most patients can return home the same day. Swelling and mild bruising are common for the first week, with results becoming progressively clearer over the following months.
We focus on safety, comfort, and natural outcomes. Every step of your journey is overseen by our clinical team to ensure you feel informed and confident.

Blepharoplasty, Bleph, or eyelid surgery, removes excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper or lower eyelids to reduce sagging and puffiness around the eyes.
Costs for blepharoplasty in London vary depending on whether upper, lower, or combined surgery is performed. At 101 Harley Street, your surgeon will provide a personalised quotation following consultation.
Upper blepharoplasty targets drooping eyelids that can affect eye shape or vision, while lower blepharoplasty removes puffiness and eye bags under the eyes.
Results typically last between 5–10 years, although longevity depends on factors such as skin quality, genetics, and lifestyle.
Most patients can resume side sleeping after 10-14 days, once swelling has reduced and healing is stable.
Non-surgical options such as dermal fillers, laser skin tightening, and radiofrequency treatments can temporarily reduce under-eye bags. However, for permanent correction, lower blepharoplasty offers the most effective long-term solution. For non-surgical options, our L’Atelier Aesthetics skin care centre, can take care of all your needs, which is also based 101 Harley street can take care of all your needs.
Both are available at our Harley Street clinic. Most Blepharoplasty treatments are handled under local anaesthetic. Especially for minor upper eyelid procedures, they can often be done under local anaesthetic, while combined or complex cases may require general anaesthetic.
Most patients return to normal activities within 7-10 days, though final results can take a few months as swelling subsides.
Incisions are carefully placed within the natural eyelid folds, so any scarring is minimal and typically fades within a few months.
