Services
Upper lid blepharoplasty
This surgical procedure removes excess skin and fat from upper eyelids to create a more youthful appearance. Ideal for patients seeking to address sagging eyelids that may impair vision or appear tired. The operation typically takes 45 minutes under local anaesthesia with sedation, offering long-lasting results that enhance facial aesthetics.
Botox
Botulinum toxin injections temporarily reduce facial wrinkles by relaxing underlying muscles. Commonly used for frown lines, crow's feet and forehead creases, effects become visible within 3-7 days and last 3-4 months. Each session involves multiple small injections with immediate return to normal activities.
Ptosis Surgery
Corrects drooping upper eyelids caused by muscle weakness, improving both vision and appearance. The procedure tightens the levator muscle through incisions hidden in natural eyelid creases. Performed under local anaesthesia, it typically requires 60-90 minutes with minimal scarring and quick recovery.
Cheek Filler
Hyaluronic acid injections restore volume to sunken cheeks, creating a more youthful facial contour. The non-surgical treatment takes 30 minutes with immediate visible results that last 12-18 months. It's ideal for patients seeking subtle enhancement without downtime.
Minor Ops
Includes various eyelid and facial procedures performed under local anaesthesia in clinic settings. Treatments address issues like cyst removal, skin tag excision and minor skin cancers. Most procedures take 30-60 minutes with minimal recovery time, offering convenient solutions for common concerns.
