Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes or repositions excess skin and fat around the upper and lower eyelids. It restores a brighter, more rested appearance, can improve vision affected by hooded skin and preserves your natural eye shape and expression. Incisions sit within the natural eyelid creases, so scars heal discreetly.
Our facial contouring procedures include Blepharoplasty, Brow Lift, Buccal Fat Removal, Jaw Reduction, Chin Implant, Chin Liposuction, Neck Liposuction, Lip Lift, Otoplasty (ear surgery), Facial Fat Transfer and Nanografting. Each is performed or overseen by Dr Yannis Alexandrides and explained in detail on its own page.
The right jawline treatment depends on the cause. Chin Liposuction or Neck Liposuction removes stubborn fat beneath the chin, a Chin Implant improves projection and profile balance, Jaw Reduction reshapes a wide or prominent jawbone, and Buccal Fat Removal slims the mid-face. A consultation confirms which procedure, or combination, will define your jawline best.
A brow lift repositions descended eyebrows and smooths the forehead, while blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat from the eyelids themselves. Heavy upper lids are often caused by brow descent, eyelid skin or both, so Dr Yannis assesses which is responsible before recommending one procedure or a combination of the two.
Prices vary by procedure. As a guide, a Lip Lift starts from £5,500, Neck Liposuction from £7,000, Otoplasty from £8,500, a Brow Lift from £9,500 and Facial Fat Transfer from £10,000. Your personalised quotation is confirmed after consultation and finance options are available.
Most facial contouring patients return to work within 5 to 14 days, depending on the procedure. Blepharoplasty, Lip Lift, Buccal Fat Removal and Chin Liposuction typically need around a week, while a Brow Lift or Jaw Reduction can require up to two or three weeks. Final definition continues to refine over the following months.
Most facial contouring procedures leave no visible scarring. Buccal Fat Removal, Jaw Reduction and Chin Implant incisions are placed inside the mouth, eyelid incisions sit within natural creases, Otoplasty incisions hide behind the ear and a Lip Lift scar is concealed in the crease beneath the nose, fading as it matures.
Yes, many patients combine procedures for a balanced result in a single operation. Popular combinations include Blepharoplasty with a Brow Lift, Chin Liposuction with a Chin Implant, and Buccal Fat Removal with Facial Fat Transfer. Combining surgery means one anaesthetic and one recovery.
Facial Fat Transfer uses your own living fat cells, so results are soft, natural and long-lasting, and the regenerative cells can improve skin quality over time. Dermal fillers are non-surgical and quicker but need repeating. Fat transfer often suits patients seeking a permanent, biocompatible alternative to repeated filler appointments.
