Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is an operation, in which fat and excess skin Is removed in order to improve the ‘tired appearance’ of the lower eyelids typically associated with loose skin and/or puffiness commonly referred to as ‘eyebags’.
Such changes in facial appearance are usually age-related, but can be inherited.
If you are considering surgery, please contact me to arrange a consultation, where we can discuss your needs and the operation in detail.
The nature of the consultation, what to do and expect after the surgery and commonly asked questions are the same as those for Upper Lid Blepharoplasty.
I graduated from Birmingham University in 1992, and have been an Eye Specialist for almost 20 years.
Following my Ophthalmology Specialist Training, I completed two Fellowships (advanced training) in glaucoma, working with the world-renowned Professor Anthony Molteno in New Zealand and Professor Peter Shah in Birmingham. Thereafter, I undertook a Fellowship in oculoplastic/lacrimal surgery, again in Birmingham. As a result, I am dual-qualified, which allows me to perform a wide range of ophthalmic procedures.
I have been a Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon at the North Devon Healthcare NHS Trust since 2003. In this role, I perform high volume cataract surgery and am the Clinical Lead for the Glaucoma and Oculoplastic/Lacrimal Surgery services.
