Lower Eyelid Surgery TREATMENT OVERVIEW
Lower Eyelid Surgery also known as Lower Blepharoplasty is an operation to remove sagging skin and bags from below the eyes. The surgery reduces under-eye puffiness to leave the eyes refreshed and rejuvenated.
At Bella Vou, a Cheek Lift is often performed as part of Lower Eyelid Surgery. A Cheek Lift treats flattened or drooping cheeks and reduces under-eye hollows or puffiness. The surgery also addresses deep lines between the nose and mouth, reduces facial flatness, and restores a youthful contour.
Bella Vou has an extensive album of images of people who have recently undergone Blepharoplasty. This can help you more closely appreciate your likely results.
While everyone heals differently, the surgeon's aim is your satisfaction. Cosmetic surgery is a balance of both form and function, and the specialists at Bella Vou are tireless in the pursuit of excellence.
During your consultation, your surgeon will help you have a clear understanding of your likely results. So, while they can't show your exact outcome, they will be able to provide you with a clearer picture of the process.
If you are having Eyelid Surgery, you should avoid Anti-Wrinkle Injections on the forehead, glabella (the area between the eyebrows, under the eyebrows and crow's feet. Injections can change the overall amount of skin laxity and give a false impression of the amount of skin available. So it's essential to avoid them before your consultation and before surgery. It is, however, okay to have Anti-Wrinkle Injections immediately after the surgery or even on the day of surgery.
In some people, the eyelid skin is very soft and can stretch again over time. Further skin may need to be removed to maintain the cosmetic result. Sometimes the brow drops, giving the appearance of loose skin around the eyes. If this is the case, a Brow Lift may be more appropriate than revision Eyelid Surgery. Your eyelid surgeon will be able to assess your eyes at consultation and recommend the best treatment program for your needs.
Lower blepharoplasty, a procedure aimed at enhancing the lower eyelids' appearance, can differ in cost across the UK. Typically, it ranges from approximately £2,000 to £5,000 or higher. At Bella Vou, prices for lower blepharoplasty start from £4750 with a consultation specialist, or £6500 with a specialist surgeon. This price includes all precare, aftercare, and the cost of general anesthesia.

… Numerous things resulted in me having my surgery at Bella Vou. When I first started looking at UK surgeons, a significant number of them wanted a fee for a consultation with a surgeon… Bella Vou does not charge for a consultation. I believe the charge is a form of pressure to commit, dressed up as some ethical decision… This was the first thing that made me consider Bella Vou…I then contacted Bella Vou and went from there. They are clear that you can see the surgeon initially remotely; however, they will not proceed with surgery without seeing you in person—how it should be!… A week before, I was sent a detailed email with all the requirements for me pre-operatively. Whilst they stated there may be a charge at this point, the option to back out from the surgery was still available. There was never any pressure to commit… After five hours of surgery, I came around in my suite. I was initially in a lot of pain and had severe swelling, resulting in both my eyes being closed—I was unable to see. The nurses, again, were outstanding. They worked tirelessly to help me get my pain under control, which took a fair bit of work! Despite the surgery only being booked for the day and with most staff having gone home, there was not a hint of them trying to get me discharged, and they were happy to stay and chat with me and ensure my pain was under control before I left. I cannot thank them enough for this. I wish I could remember names, but I was a bit out of it!… I cannot fault Bella Vou at all. Every single touchpoint for the customer has been considered; not a thing was missed or overlooked, and I felt entirely confident they and Hagen would be there to support me post-operation as much as I required. They absolutely deserve their “outstanding” CQC rating (something else that drew me here) and demonstrate a masterclass in customer service. They deserve to do well with this approach… I cannot recommend them highly enough, and you will be in the best possible hands choosing Bella Vou for your surgery.

I highly recommend Amir Nakhdjevani for your procedure. This was my first such undertaking at 60 years old, and with it came some trepidation as I stepped into the unknown world of cosmetic surgery. Any fears I had were soon put to rest. Amir explained my options for blepharoplasty surgery (eyebags), along with what was possible, and the likely results… After 6-months of recovery I was not entirely satisfied with my results. There had most definitely been an improvement, but not as much as I had wished for. I explained this to Amir, and he was very supportive. To address this, he offered me complimentary laser treatment and further surgery should I still be dissatisfied with the outcome. I undertook both procedures. This demonstrates to me that Amir cares more about my personal satisfaction than the overall cost. Bella Vou state this is about ‘you,’ and that is exactly the service they provide. I am so pleased with my results. I have a more youthful look for a man of my age, and this has been achieved without taking things to extreme. I am no longer self-conscious, and it has given me the added confidence to speak to others without concern. I have no hesitation in recommending Bella Vou, and Amir in particular. You are in safe hands, so book with confidence.

I would like to rate 5 stars to Amir Sadr. He is a genuinely wonderful and caring consultant and surgeon. He performed a Lower Lid Blepharoplasty and Cheek Lift on me and did such fantastic job that everyone that knows me has said how wonderful I look but can’t quite figure out what is making me look so amazing. You are FABULOUS Amir. Thank you. Ruth

I went to Turkey for a facelift and was left with huge lumps under my eyes. Amir removed all lumps with no scarring. I am over the moon with my looks and have my confidence back. I can’t thank Amir and his staff enough. By far the best service I have ever received.

I’m Brian Wilson from Maidstone. Back in 2022 I visited Bella Vou regarding removing my eye bags at the bottom. I booked in and had them removed. All the staff from the start to the finish was absolutely amazing the service was above 5 stars. I am so happy with my surgery and highly recommend them to anyone 100%. Even the after care is amazing.

My experiences with Bella Vou have been nothing but positive throughout my whole journey to date… I was happy to proceed and I am so happy with the results so far. I could see an improvement immediately after surgery and even in the first few days as the swelling and bruising got worse, I still felt I looked better than before. During those first 2 weeks, I did have a few panic moments mainly regarding my upper eyelids, I kept noticing little imperfections which I tried not to obsess about; now they have had time to settle down those imperfections are not noticeable but at the time when I mentioned my concerns, I was given reassurances that if those imperfections were still there after I had had time to heal more, they would try to address them. I look at myself now and I can’t believe the bags are gone, my under eye area looks so much better than 50% better, I know I’m still healing, I still have a bit of bruising and swelling but I really hope I don’t look too different from what I do now when I’ve fully healed. Amir has done a fantastic job and I am so grateful to him and all the lovely staff at Bella Vou, a HUGE thank you to you all!

This is a very well deserved review for Mr Schumacher. I’m 56 and earlier this year I had a direct brow lift with a really great result which I noticed soon after. Later on I had an upper and lower Blepharoplasty, again which healed with superb results. I was so pleasantly surprised to look in the mirror and see my younger self looking back at me through my eyes. If you’re reading this and thinking about cosmetic surgery you won’t be disappointed if you get in touch with Mr Schumacher. He has such a lovely calm trusting manner, and I promise you won’t feel pressured in any way. His after care is superb too! I’m very grateful to have found him as a surgeon. Thank you Mr Schumacher!!

I had been considering lower eyelid surgery for a while, as my eye bags were getting me down. I have very few wrinkles and felt that my eye area was the one thing making me look older and constantly tired. I did lots of research on various clinics, and came across Bella Vou. After reading lots of great reviews, I booked in for a complimentary consultation with Amir and liked his honest and friendly approach right from the start and from there made the decision to go ahead with surgery a few months later. I cant say I wasnt nervous on the day, but Amir and the team made me feel very comfortable and relaxed… The whole process took around an hour and a half and I left the surgery feeling absolutely fine. I took 2 paracetamol that afternoon but didn’t need any other painkillers after Day 1. I am now 3 weeks post surgery and my eyes look amazing. Ive had no after effects such as dry or watery eyes and my scars are barely visible. I know the healing process can take up to 6 months, but I am so happy already and dont know why I left it so long to have this done. The clinic is spotlessly clean and the staff are so caring and friendly. Amir is a great surgeon and I would recommend him without any hesitation.

I cannot praise Amir and the staff at Bella Vou enough. I was an extremely nervous patient and asked a lot of questions prior to the surgery and needed a lot of reassurance right up to the morning of the op. However, nothing was too much trouble and I was treated with kindness and care throughout. I originally went to see Amir about replacing a breast implant which had ruptured (done 10 years prior with a different surgeon) however, I was also very unhappy with the sun damage on my face and my eyebags. I did not think I was brave enough to tackle all of these issues however, Amir was extremely knowledgeable and no-nonsense with his approach and he made me feel immediately relaxed and confident in his abilities… It is now 3 weeks on and I could not be happier with the results…I have enjoyed a trouble-free recovery. I am now much more confident in myself and happier to go out and face the world… Amir really is an artist and I know that I would go to him for anything else in the future… My advice to anyone who is considering Bella Vou is ‘don’t look any further and go for it’…you will not be sorry!

I had my first procedure three weeks ago with Amir on the 25/1/18. I had a face/neck lift, upper and lower eyelids and two Permalip implant. Although it has been less than a month, I am really pleased…I’ve even recommended my best friend to Amir, who is seeing him for a consultation next month. The whole team at Bella Vou is EXCEPTIONAL – I have never felt so looked after in all my life!…The clinic is so welcoming, and I feel like I’ve known them all for years and you’re just going to visit old friends! Amir and all of the gorgeous girls at the clinic, go towards making this a truly personal transitional journey, rather than just somewhere you have a cosmetic procedure done. As I said, I’m only a few weeks post-op of my first procedure, but so far, everything has gone brilliantly and I am so excited about the year ahead. It has taken a lot of time to work on getting here, but this past 18 months, I have been the happiest I have ever been in my life and I’m looking forward to having my face and body reflect how I feel on the inside, rather than the misrepresentation I see when I look in the mirror at the moment…

I would like to share my experience to help anyone considering plastic surgery with Amir. I have been to many consultations over the past 12 years, none of the surgeons gave me the confidence to go ahead. I was told of Amir’s new concept facelift by my now best friend and I immediately booked a consultation. Amir explained the procedure and was confident that I would have a good result, he didn’t suggest extra work as others had done. I went ahead and booked for the following month that day, as I felt so confident in him. The result was beyond my expectations with very little discomfort. I had a concept face lift, neck lift upper and lower eyes and earlobe reduction… Amir is clearly a gifted surgeon, enthusiastic, passionate about his work and clearly loves making women look and feel more beautiful. A big thank you to all his staff who clearly love working with him and share in his achievements. Doreen Taylor.

My care at the hospital was fantastic I was constantly asked if I needed pain relieve or eye pads I couldn’t believe how little discomfort I had. I left the hospital the next day with just dark glasses and a week later I was out shopping. Amir is clearly a gifted surgeon, enthusiastic, passionate about his work and clearly loves making women look and feel more beautiful.
