Eyelid Lift

Heavy or baggy eyelids are a very common complaint and in fact, traditional surgical eyelid correction is the 2nd most sought-after cosmetic surgical procedure in the UK. Redundant skin due to ageing, long-term inflammation e.g. dermatitis or smoking results in descent of the upper eyelids. In early sagging, this still causes problems such as eye makeup smudging. Below the eyes, the skin can be creased and give the eyes a tired look.

Surgical or non-surgical blepharoplasty?

Dr Patel is one of the pioneers of PLEXR in the UK. With this award-winning device, he can perform a “soft” surgical blepharoplasty. Therefore, without any needles or cutting of the skin, he can effectively remove excess skin from around the eyes. This has numerous advantages over surgical blepharoplasty including significantly less downtime and risk. PLEXR will also not negatively impact the shape of the eye area or result in the scar line sometimes seen after surgery.

However, in some cases, the surgical route can be the only option. This could be due to the amount of excess skin on the eyelid. We have two very reputable surgeons who work with us, both have a wealth of experience and qualifications in their specialist fields. Our CQC registered surgery allows you to complete your whole journey with us from consultation to stitch removal. Learn more about eye surgery here.

Aftercare

Post Treatment Expectations

You should expect a swelling around the treated area, this is normal and usually subsides within 1 – 4 days after the procedure
The treated area will have a light brown crust present. The crust will fall off after 5-10 days (for most patients), leaving pink skin. Any pink or brown (pigmented) small dots that may appear like a “dip” in the skin are completely normal within the first few months. These can occasionally persist for longer

Post Treatment Aftercare

Do not use an exfoliating cleanser over the area
Pat dry the treated area; you must NOT rub
Do not apply plasters or cover the area
Avoid exercise for 72 hours or until the swelling subsides
Do NOT drink alcohol and stay well hydrated, during your healing period. If you smoke, we advise keeping this to a minimum (we recommend trying nicotine gum)

Please note, the above aftercare is just a guide. Full aftercare advice will be given to you when you attend your appointment with us.

FAQ

What can I expect when I come for the treatment?

On the day of your treatment, we recommend that you avoid make-up in the area to be treated if at all possible.

After completing your consent form, your skin will be cleaned and then some numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area to help ensure your treatment is comfortable. You will be asked to let this take effect for approximately 30 minutes.

The PLEXR® device does not even touch your skin during the treatment. Depending on the size of the area to be treated, treatment time may take 10-30 minutes. Aftercare instructions will be provided. You will have an out-of-hours number to call should you have any concerns, although this is extremely unlikely to happen.

Tissue retraction is also a key benefit which explains its use in scar management and even non-surgical face/neck/body lifts.

How does PLEXR® work?

When activated, the instrument ionises the gas particles in the air between its tip and your skin. This creates an electrical arc which touches the very surface of the skin, causing the target tissue to ‘sublimate’ (go directly from solid to gas state), thereby preventing the unwanted spread of heat downwards or across the skin. Tissue retraction is also a key benefit which explains its use in scar management and even non-surgical face/neck/body lifts.

Is PLEXR® safe?

In a word, YES. Due to the revolutionary way in which PLEXR® works, it is an extremely safe device in the hands of a trained doctor. Dr. Patel will discuss potential side effects with you during your consultation and you will be given plenty of time to pose any questions you may have.

Testimonials

Upon arriving at the Perfect Skin Solutions Clinic, I felt welcome and totally at ease. After having filled out the necessary forms in order to proceed with my procedure, upper and lower blepharoplasty using Plexr, I was then greeted very warmly by Dr Patel and the procedure involving Plexr was explained in full to me.

I was then ushered in to a very pleasant treatment room where anaesthetic cream was applied to my upper and lower eyelids, I relaxed for a good half an hour whilst the cream took affect, Dr Patel’s assistant kept checking that all was ok and explained in full how the treated areas would start to feel numb. I felt totally relaxed and well informed during this period.

Once the cream had taken effect I was taken in to the treatment room for the Plexr treatment to take place. It was explained to me what sensation I would feel whilst enduring the Plexr treatment. I felt relaxed and found the whole procedure extremely tolerable, only experiencing perhaps a couple of slightly less tolerable ‘stings’. Dr Patel ensured I was comfortable at all time whilst the procedure was taking place.

On completion a soothing cream was applied to my upper and lower eyelids and what I should expect to experience after the treatment was explained fully to me. The ‘down time’ for me personally was just a week, (eyes slightly swollen for the first couple of days) that is when all the little crusts were shed leaving underlying pink skin, which I applied my medicated foundation to every day, this helped with the healing process and helped camouflage the pink areas.

The results are nothing short of a miracle, my eyes look less tired and heavy, the excess skin on my upper eyelids has reduced greatly, my lower eyelids (eye bags) had been a problem to me for a long time, making me appear permanently tired. This has disappeared and the results are nothing short of a miracle, to think I was very seriously considering the conventional method of blepharoplasty makes me shudder… I will not by any means hesitate in contacting Dr Patel in the near future.
