Jade | Blepharoplasty
We hear from patient Jade, who underwent upper eyelid blepharoplasty surgery with Mr Oliver Harley, Consultant Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon.
Jade explains how her drooping eyelids affected her vision and confidence, particularly her ability to wear makeup.
After researching surgeons and reviewing before-and-after photos, she explains how she chose Mr Harley for a blepharoplasty at The McIndoe Centre.
“The consultation was amazing,” she says. “It was so informative, and I felt truly listened to. The results I was looking for, and the outcomes Mr Harley was able to produce, completely aligned.”
During the consultation, Mr Harley measured and assessed Jade’s eyes. He also discussed the nature of the surgery, the potential risks, and recovery expectations.
The blepharoplasty operation was performed under local anaesthetic and took approximately one and a half hours.
Mr Harley says: "Jade returned about a week later to have the little stitches drawn out from the eyelids and some adhesive strips removed. And then after that, we probably saw her another couple of times in successive weeks just to check on wound healing."
“I’m extremely happy with the results. It gives you that confidence back. The amount of people that have complimented ‘you look so awake now.’ It was definitely worth it.”
