This can be done on younger people but would be done differently to remove less tissue and preserve upper lid volume.

All my contact details are at cosmeticeyesurgery.co.uk

Happy to see you to give you personal advice.

Best wishes

Im due to have this done post Thyroid Eye Disease on upper and lower lids-after having had bi-oorbital decompression Im a little scared.How long will it take to recover?

[riccaesar]

@traceymod

one week of marked bruising, second week of swelling. Faster improvement then and good enough for post op photos at 6 weeks. Continues to improve for 6 months.

hi there. so it is quite normal to have this done while still awake? my tutor said she got hers done awake..and i wondered if she went to a cheap surgeon lol

[riccaesar]

@CatCufflings

Quite normal. The 3 anaesthetic choices are essentially local anaesthetic alone, LA with sedation, or general anaesthetic. The surgeon charges the same price for all 3. The anaesthetist charges for sedation and general, and some hospitals charge more for sedation or general. Local anaesthetic is therefore the least expensive option.

a sample of good surgery. But you didn't sew the septum after trimming the fat pad. could you sew the septum to avoid the bulging? tnx.

@dipoltasi34

In theory you could have a post op prolapse of fat through a septal defect. In practice this doesn't seem to occur so I have not found it necessary to sew the septum.

I'm not a doctor, but this was simple, effective and well explained.

or maybe i could come to you for my surgery! you put me at ease. looks like such a great job was done

[razzamatazzy]

hello please answer my question! i am young but i have hooded eyelids...hooded completely down to overlapping the lash (fat eyelids, you could say, haha). i have downturned eyes which makes it even more unattractive...can this be done on young people who dont necessarily need a lot of old skin hanging? or is it strictly for this type of eyelid in the video

Sorry. Did not look at the previous comments.

Was this performed solely under local or was there light sedation?
