Waverley Private Hospital offer a comprehensive range plastic and cosmetic eye surgeries, delivered by our highly reputable oculoplastic surgeons.

Blepharoplasty is a procedure that involves surgically removing excess eyelid skin (dermatochalasis). Excess eyelid fat may also be removed at the same time. Dermatochalasis is usually caused by ageing; however, family history, smoking and sun exposure are contributing factors.

The procedure, which takes about an hour, is generally carried out without an overnight hospital admission. A local anaesthesia is used. 

Cosmetic eyelid surgery can be used to reduce signs of aging around the eye area. Cosmetic eyelid surgery includes double eyelid creases, lower eyelid bags, excess upper eyelid skin, brow droops and more. 

Ectropion is the medical term used to describe the outward turning of the lower eyelid. Symptoms include excessive tearing, redness, mucous discharge, and irritation of the eye. 

Ectropion can be repaired surgically to relieve the symptoms and reposition the eyelid. 

The surgery usually lasts between 30 minutes to 60 minutes and performed under local anaesthesia. Patients usually do not need to stay in hospital overnight. 

Entropion is the medical term used to describe the inward turning of the eyelid. Symptoms include excessive tearing, redness and irritation of the eye. 

Entropion can be repaired surgically to relieve the symptoms and reposition the eyelid. 

The surgery usually lasts between 30 minutes to 60 minutes and performed under local anaesthesia. Patients usually do not need to stay in hospital overnight. 

There are a range of benign and malignant eyelid skin tumours, some of which can be very damaging to the eye and eye socket. These tumours are normally treated by conducting a surgical excision by an oculoplastic surgeon. 

Ptosis, commonly known as drooping eyelids can be treated for cosmetic reasons to stop any visual interference caused. 

A surgical procedure can be used to re-attach or shorten the muscles or tendon that raise the eyelid. Hidden sutures are used to raise the eyelid and are removed around a week after surgery. This operation takes around 45-60 minutes per eye and is conducted in a day, with no need for an overnight stay at hospital. 

There are several conditions that cause water eyes. Oculoplastic surgeons at Waverley Private Hospital offer a range of surgical treatment options to prevent these conditions. This includes Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) surgery.
