Mr. Ijaz Sheikh | Consultant Ophthalmologist

Blepharoplasty

Mr. Ijaz Sheikh trained in oculoplastic surgery at Queen Victoria Hospital, one of the UK’s leading centres for reconstructive and cosmetic eyelid procedures. His approach is:

  • Tailored to your face and function
  • Focused on natural-looking, symmetrical results
  • Backed by over 40 years of clinical experience
  • Delivered with safety, precision, and a calm, caring manner

You may benefit from blepharoplasty if you have:

  • Sagging or hooded upper eyelids
  • Puffy or baggy lower eyelids
  • Tired or aged appearance around the eyes
  • Visual field obstruction from eyelid skin
  • Desire for eyelid rejuvenation
  • Usually done under local anaesthetic
  • Upper eyelid: A fine incision is made in the natural crease to remove excess skin/fat
  • Lower eyelid: Incision made just below lashes or inside the eyelid
  • Stitches are often removed within 5–7 days

Minimal scarring, typically hidden in natural folds

  • Mild swelling and bruising for 1–2 weeks
  • Light activities after 2–3 days
  • Final results visible within several weeks

Scars fade over time, often barely noticeable

FAQ – Blepharoplasty

Mr. Sheikh’s goal is a refreshed, natural appearance – not a stretched or altered look.

The procedure is done under local anaesthetic with minimal discomfort.

Many patients enjoy results that last 10+ years. Ageing continues, but the effect is long-term.
