Blepharoplasty
The eyes are the first thing people notice, and they are often the first place tiredness and age begin to show. Heavy, hooded upper lids and puffy under-eye bags can make you look exhausted no matter how well you have slept. At Surgical Aesthetics on Harley Street, Mr Jan Stanek FRCS gently removes or repositions excess skin and fat to restore a bright, rested appearance. Trained at Oxford University and a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, he brings almost four decades of delicate facial experience to this precise area. The goal is never a startled look — only eyes that look like a well-rested version of yours. It all begins with an honest, unhurried consultation about what will genuinely help.
Blepharoplasty in London: Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery Explained
Choosing where to have your Blepharoplasty in London matters, and Harley Street remains home to the country's most experienced facial surgeons. Mr Stanek's clinic is fully Care Quality Commission (CQC) accredited and led by a senior team who care for you personally. Upper eyelid surgery removes heavy, hooded skin that can even affect your field of vision, while lower blepharoplasty addresses bags and shadows beneath the eyes. Some patients need one, some both, and honest assessment ensures you only have what truly benefits you. You will never be rushed or pressured — only guided with genuine expertise.
Blepharoplasty Cost UK: What Determines Your Quote
Blepharoplasty cost in the UK depends on whether you need upper, lower or both, and choosing on price alone is unwise for such a delicate area. Your fee reflects the surgeon's precision, the accredited theatre, the anaesthetic approach and the aftercare. At consultation you receive a clear, itemised quote with no hidden extras. Before comparing providers, the NHS guidance on cosmetic procedures sets out the safety questions every patient should ask. Around the eyes, judgement is everything — too much removal causes lasting problems, so experience is priceless. Finance options can be discussed so safety is never compromised.
Blepharoplasty and Eye Bag Removal for a Rested Look
For many patients the main concern is simply looking permanently tired, and targeted eye bag removal through lower blepharoplasty transforms that impression. The puffiness is usually caused by fat that has bulged forward with age, casting shadows no concealer can hide. By carefully repositioning or reducing this fat, the under-eye area is smoothed for a refreshed appearance. Guidance from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) emphasises conservative technique around the eyes. Mr Stanek will always advise whether surgery, or a non-surgical option, best suits your concern.

FAQs
What is recovery like after Blepharoplasty?
Most patients feel presentable within 1–2 weeks as bruising and swelling settle. Fine sutures are removed within about a week, and the final result improves over a couple of months.
Is Blepharoplasty painful?
Blepharoplasty is performed with anaesthetic, so you feel nothing during surgery. Afterwards most patients report mild tightness and swelling rather than pain, easily managed with prescribed relief.
How much does Blepharoplasty cost in the UK?
Blepharoplasty cost depends on whether you have upper, lower or both eyelids treated. You receive a clear, itemised quote at consultation, with finance available.
Will Blepharoplasty make me look natural?
Yes — a natural, rested result is the entire aim. Conservative, precise technique refreshes the eyes without any startled or over-done appearance.
How long do Blepharoplasty results last?
Upper eyelid results often last a decade or more, and lower eyelid results are typically very long-lasting. You continue to age naturally from a fresher starting point.
