Before undergoing blepharoplasty at Regency Eye Hospital in Manchester, you will attend a comprehensive consultation with an experienced oculoplastic consultant surgeon. Your consultant will discuss your symptoms, review your medical history, examine your eyelids and eyes, and explain the procedure, risks, and expected outcomes. You will have time to consider your options before proceeding.

01 What will be discussed during my consultation?

Your consultant will discuss your symptoms, how your eyelids affect your vision or comfort, and what you hope to achieve from treatment. This helps ensure expectations are realistic and appropriate.

02 What examinations will be carried out?

Your eyelids and eyes will be carefully examined, including eyelid position, skin laxity, muscle strength, and overall eye health. This ensures blepharoplasty is safe and suitable for you.

03 Will photographs be taken?

Clinical photographs may be taken to support assessment, surgical planning, and to monitor outcomes. These are kept securely as part of your medical record.

04 Will my general health be considered?

Yes. Your medical history, medications, and any existing health conditions will be reviewed to reduce risks and support safe treatment.

05 Are there alternatives to surgery?

In some cases, non-surgical options or observation may be discussed. Your consultant will explain all appropriate options before recommending surgery.

06 Do I have to decide straight away?

No. You will be given time to consider your options and ask questions. Surgery will only proceed once you feel fully informed and comfortable.

07 What happens if blepharoplasty is not suitable for me?

If surgery is not appropriate, your consultant will explain why and discuss alternative management or monitoring where relevant.
