Upper Eyelid Surgery
The New Approach to Eyelid Surgery at F5 Clinic
We learned that by restoring volume which has been lost over time through fat transfer, you could create a more youthful appearance in the most natural way.
Seeing results first hand, we prefer to harvest the fat from patients to use it to restore lost volume to parts of the face that have lost their youthfulness over time.
Our main premise, in relation to eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), is never to cut away too much skin. To just cut a little and restore lost volume to the eyelids by injecting fat creates a more subtle result.
By sculpting with fat, the face can be given a more refreshed and youthful appearance. This advanced cosmetic technique can also be used to help correct problems such as hollowness and dark circles around the eyes and to remedy the loss of volume at the temples.

F5 Clinic’s approach to eyelid surgery
A personalised approach to eyelid surgery increases the chance of a positive outcome. Through an in-depth consultation, our surgeons determine each of my patients’ needs and expectations in order to provide targeted blepharoplasty solutions based on the needs of each unique patient.
As we age, there is often a decrease in fatty tissue and our muscles become less taut. This is when we can start to see an excess of skin.
In this case the eyelid will appear heavy and may even start to droop resulting in a more tired and often aged appearance. The Upper Eyelid surgery (or upper blepharoplasty) is generally performed on patients aged 40 or plus when it has become difficult for women to apply make-up on the eyelids or for men to see properly due to the surplus of skin and/or fat over the eye. This excess skin, also known as dermatochalasis.
This procedure performed on the upper eyelid area consists of removing excess skin by cutting the palpebral fold. During the same procedure, the surgeon is able to remove any possible fat herniation. It is important to note that only the upper blepharoplasty is able to improve the sinking of the upper eyelid and to open the eyes without changing their expression.
In most cases, upper eyelid surgery is performed alongside the Micro- fat transfer (or Micro-lipostructure) technique to help restore lost volume. As we age, there is also an apparent loss of fat at the temples causing them to look hollow. In turn, this leads the tail end of the eyebrows to droop. We recommend that the temple area, eyelids and wrinkles are filled with fat to result in a natural lifting effect on the eye area.
It is important to remember that each patient’s needs are different, and each case may require a different approach when it comes to the procedure. Before any surgery, an initial consultation is made in our India Clinic. A full physical assessment will be required in order to gather the information the surgeon needs to develop a thorough treatment strategy. You will also discuss your personal goals and concerns.
With all of this in mind, we will determine which surgical technique and approach should be used in order to guarantee the best outcome with the least amount of risk.
