Beyond Refreshment. Structural Integrity.
Blepharoplasty at Freyea is more than removing excess skin. It is a structural assessment of the eyelid muscles, fat distribution, and skin quality. Whether focusing on the upper lids to clear the field of vision or the lower lids to address persistent puffiness, the goal is a look that feels refreshed, not 'surgerized'.

What Blepharoplasty Can Address
Loose or sagging skin that creates folds in the upper eyelid
Fatty deposits that appear as puffiness in the eyelids
Bags under the eyes (lower eyelid concerns)
Drooping lower eyelids that reveal white below the iris
Excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelid
Functional vision obstruction caused by heavy upper lids
What Blepharoplasty Should Not Do
Eyelid surgery should not change the fundamental shape of your eyes or create a 'startled' or hollowed-out appearance. At Freyea, we prioritize conservative tissue management to ensure you still look like yourself, only more rested.
Is Blepharoplasty Right for You?
Many patients consider eyelid surgery when they feel they look constantly tired despite being well-rested. Suitability is determined by skin quality, muscular support, and individual dry-eye history.
- You have heavy, drooping upper eyelids that may interfere with vision
- You notice persistent puffiness or bags under the eyes
- You have excess skin on the lower lids that creates a 'crepe-like' texture
- You have realistic expectations and good overall ocular health
- Systemic conditions like thyroid issues are well-managed
The Freyea Signature
We focus on 'scarless' techniques where possible, such as the transconjunctival approach for lower eyelids, and meticulous incision placement in natural creases for the upper eyelids. Our aim is to restore the youthful contours of the eye area without leaving obvious surgical markers.
The Freyea Approach to Eyelid Surgery
The eyes are the most expressive part of the face. Our approach is highly individualised, often combining skin excision with fat repositioning rather than simple removal to prevent a hollowed look.
Periorbital Assessment
Evaluating brow position, lid laxity, skin quality, and underlying fat pads in relation to the midface.
Surgical Design
Marking incisions within natural folds or inside the eyelid to ensure the most discreet results possible.
Tissue Refinement
Precise removal or repositioning of fat, muscle tightening, and skin excision performed with micro-surgical care.
Post-Operative Care
Comprehensive guidance on cooling, eye drops, and activity to minimize swelling and support the delicate healing process.
Upper vs. Lower Blepharoplasty
Upper blepharoplasty primarily addresses sagging skin and occasional fat prominence. Lower blepharoplasty focuses on 'bags' and smooth transitions to the cheek. They can be performed together or separately depending on your goals.
Fat Repositioning
Modern eyelid surgery often involves moving fat from areas of excess (bags) to areas of hollowing (the tear trough) rather than just removing it. This maintains the youthful fullness of the face and prevents a skeletonized appearance.
Procedure Details
Timelines vary by anatomy, surgical plan, and individual healing. Your expected recovery will be discussed during consultation.
Anaesthesia
Local with Sedation or General Anaesthesia
Duration
1 to 2.5 Hours
Recovery
Return to social activities in 7–10 days

Durable rejuvenation; effects typically last 7–10 years or more
Recovery Timeline
First 48 Hours
Intensive use of cold compresses to manage swelling. Some 'tightness' around the eyes is normal.
