Blepharoplasty, more commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure that is typically performed by a specialist eyelid surgeon or ora consultant oculoplastic surgeon like Pari Shams. This type of surgery is usually performed to address problems that affect one’s vision, such as droopy or sagging eyelids.

However, cosmetic blepharoplasty is also quite popular among some individuals, since the eyelid skin is thinner than most other parts of the face, and it usually also has a propensity to present the earliest signs of ageing. In other cases, a condition known as Conjunctivitis - an inflammation or infection of the transparent membrane (conjunctiva) that lines your eyelid - might impair your peripheral vision and make going about your daily business more challenging, which is why you may need Blepharoplasty surgery.

Pari Shams is a consultant oculoplastic surgeon from London who specialises in the treatment of eyelid, lacrimal, and orbital diseases. She has performed hundreds of reconstructive, cosmetic, as well as lacrimal, and orbital surgeries throughout her professional career spanning more than 17 years, and she has won numerous awards and recognitions for her expertise in her field of expertise.

“People with heavy bags under their eyes usually benefit from blepharoplasty under eye surgery, which is also one of the most popular cosmetic treatments that I offer. This cosmetic procedure involves the surgical removal of extra skin and fat from under the lower eyelids, to create a smooth, youthful appearance. To conceal the scar, a tiny incision is made on the inside of the lower eyelid. By removing the extra skin and fat that generally accumulates under the lower eyelid, this type of surgery gives the face a more rejuvenated appearance. However, it is also used to treat many other lower eyelid disorders or problems that affect one’s quality of vision,” Miss Shams explained.

It is also important to understand that not every patient is a candidate for blepharoplasty surgery. Whether a patient wants cosmetic surgery or needs functional blepharoplasty surgery, Miss Shams will always perform a comprehensive examination first, because she promotes and prioritises good health before moving forward with any surgical procedures. During an examination, she also looks for strong muscles and ample facial tissue, to determine if the patient qualifies for blepharoplasty surgery.

Miss Shams is a full-time consultant ophthalmic surgeon at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London and is also available for consultations at the Phoenix Hospital Group Outpatient Centre, the Harley Street Clinic, and the Weymouth Street Hospital. On her website, she provides comprehensive details on the many different types of treatments she offers, and she is also available for online and telephone consultations.
