Our talented surgeons can restore a refreshed and youthful appearance to your eye area with eyebag removal in Bristol.
Pouches of excess skin and fat around the eyes cause hooded eyelids and under-eye bags. The ageing process around the eyes can cause this effect or can be an inherited characteristic. Whatever the cause, a straightforward cosmetic procedure at our world-class cosmetic surgery clinic in Bristol provides permanent eye bag removal.
Eyebag removal is just one of the transformative surgeries offered at Reshape and Restore Bristol.

What causes drooping eyelids and under-eye bags?
Problems with the upper eyelids and skin under the eye are often caused by the development of excess fat and the loss of elasticity and firmness in the skin and muscles as we age.
The skin becomes lax and overstretched, drooping over the eyelashes, creating a hooded effect. The fragile skin of the lower lids also slackens and falls into pouches. At the same time, the muscles around the eye become less taut, allowing the skin to droop further.
Some of our Bristol patients are relatively young and have inherited a propensity to hooded eyes or under-eye bags.
The effect on appearance can be significant, and these changes can make you look far older and more tired than you feel. Fortunately, blepharoplasty surgery can reverse these changes, restoring a wide-eyed and refreshed look.
We offer upper blepharoplasty and lower eyelid surgery at our welcoming clinic in Bristol.
What happens during blepharoplasty surgery in Bristol?
Blepharoplasty surgery is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the lower or upper eyelid and to tighten slack muscles.
Upper eyelid surgery in Bristol
Your surgeon will make an incision in your eyelid’s natural crease to ensure minimal scarring.
The excess fat that causes pouching above the eyes is removed through this incision. It will also be used to tighten the slackened muscles.
Once the upper eyelid has been remodelled, the excess skin is trimmed away, and the incision is closed using tiny stitches.
Cosmetic surgery for the lower eyelid in Bristol
A lower blepharoplasty is performed with an incision along the lash line or inside the lower eyelid.

Am I a good candidate for eyelid surgery in Bristol?
If the appearance of your eyes affects your self-confidence, you may be a good candidate for this cosmetic procedure.
All patients have an initial consultation with one of our surgeons, who will discuss what eyelid surgery could achieve for you. In addition, your general health will be assessed to ensure you are healthy enough for surgery.
Occasionally, swelling around the eyes can be due to allergies, sleep deprivation or a diet that contains too much salt.
If appropriate, non-surgical solutions to your eye issues will be discussed at your initial consultation.
Your consultant plastic surgeon will also check you for issues like thyroid eye disease, diabetes or dry eye conditions.
Is eyelid surgery painful?
You will not feel any pain during your procedure as eyelid surgery in Bristol is performed under local anaesthetic.
After your surgery, you will experience swelling and bruising but minimal discomfort, which will be managed with simple pain relief.
