Dermatochalasis Correction 

What is Upper Lid Blepharochalasis?

Blepharochalasis refers to excessive skin on the upper eyelids, which can cause a heavy sensation, affect vision, and create an aged appearance.

What causes Dermatochalasis?

• Aging and loss of skin elasticity
• Genetics
• Chronic eyelid swelling (blepharitis or allergies)

How can Dermatochalasis be treated?

Blepharoplasty is a minor surgical procedure to remove excess skin and restore a natural eyelid contour.

What does the procedure involve?

Under local anaesthetic, a fine incision is made in the natural eyelid crease, excess skin is removed, and small stitches are placed.

Are there any risks or side effects?

• Mild bruising and swelling are common.
• Dry eyes or temporary irritation.
• Scarring is minimal but possible.
• Recurrence of skin.
• Sore eyes.
• Blurred vision.

What are the benefits?

• Improved vision if drooping skin was obstructing sight.
• A fresher, more youthful appearance.

Will I need a follow-up appointment?

You will be seen a few weeks after surgery for stitch removal and to assess healing.
