Sagging or drooping eyelids are a common sign of ageing. The appearance of sagging eyelids can be a big concern with many feeling like they look older than they actually are and it can also make them look sad, angry or tired on a permanent basis. In more severe cases they can also reduce your vision and cause headaches.
There are many causes for sagging eyelids; generally, the ageing process plays a big part in the development of these issues which unfortunately can’t be avoided. The levator muscle is responsible for lifting the eyelid as we age this muscle stretches resulting in the skin stretching and fat pockets becoming more prominent causing drooping.
Some people are genetically predisposed to having more skin and tissue in one or both eyelids and in some cases your lifestyle and environmental factors can add to the issue, for example, people who have worked outside for many years may experience drooping or sagging of the eyelids

We treat thousands of patients every year and pride ourselves on our knowledge and expertise. All of our Clinics are registered with the Care Quality Commission.
Treatments Available
Upper Blepharoplasty
An upper blepharoplasty is an operation of the upper eyelid that remodels the eye by reducing the skin which gives the sagging appearance and the fat pad which gives the puffy appearance all within the inner area of the eyelid.
The procedure can take as little as 30 minutes and can be performed under local anaesthetic. The downtime is minimal with patients returning home shortly after their procedure with an immediate difference to their eyes and overall face.
We work with only the best plastic surgeons in the UK. Our Cosmetic Surgeons are registered with the General Medical Council, are on the Specialist Register for Plastic Surgery and are members of BAAPS (The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) and BAPRAS (The British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons).
Upper Blepharoplasty consultations are available at London Harley Street, Birmingham, and Northampton clinics.
Thermage
Thermage can be used to non-surgically tighten and lift the eyelid skin. The procedure uses radiofrequency technology to heat the deep collagen-rich layers of the skin which results in an instant tightening effect on the skin. The skin will also continue to produce new collagen so results will continue to improve over time.
Thermage treatment has a smaller-sized handpiece specifically for the eye area which enables practitioners to perform a more accurate and precise treatment safely.
Thermage eyelift treatment is available at our London Harley Street and Buckinghamshire clinics.
Ultherapy Brow Lift
Ultherapy Brow Lift is a bespoke treatment option for those looking to reduce the appearance of sagging eyelids. Ultherapy uses a unique micro-focused ultrasound technology that stimulates and remodels collagen and elastin within the skin. The treatment is able to target the skin at the same depth reached by surgeons. The treatment can be performed on the brow area to help give the eyebrows a more refreshed and youthful look. By doing this, it can also help to lift and reduce the appearance of hooded eyelids. This top eyelid is gently elevated and raised in a natural and understated way.
Typically, most patients only require one session of Ultherapy to achieve a noticeable result that they are happy with. Following the procedure, there is little to no downtime aside from redness in the treatment area. It can 3-6 months to see the final results but they can also last up to 18 months.
Ultherapy Browlift treatment is available at our London Harley Street, Birmingham, Buckinghamshire and Northampton clinics.
