Upper Blepharoplasty eliminates the drooping of skin into the visual field, greatly improving peripheral vision
Upper blepharoplasty surgery is most beneficial for individuals with sagging skin that is obstructing their eyesight. Miss Pari Shams an oculoplastic surgeon from London commonly performs blepharoplasty surgery. In this procedure extra skin and fatty deposits are removed and re-sculpted in the top or upper eyelids. The procedure is usually performed under local anaesthesia with light sedation if preferred. The skin incisions are made in the eye's natural crease, which will not be visible when the eye is open.

Miss Shams' expertise in cosmetic and functional eyelid surgery, as well as orbital and lacrimal surgery, was developed through advanced sub-speciality surgical training at world-renowned institutions for oculoplastic, lacrimal, and orbital surgery, including The South Australian Institute of Ophthalmology, Adelaide, Australia, The University of British Columbia, Canada, Vancouver, The Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London, and The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, Iowa City, U.S.A.

She has performed thousands of blepharoplasty surgeries and her clinical practice includes a comprehensive repertoire of cosmetic eyelid surgery and reconstructive surgery around the eyes. She has received awards and prizes as an expert in her field, throughout her professional career.

Miss Shams works as a full-time consultant ophthalmologist and oculoplastic surgeon at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London. She treats a wide range of eye disorders, both functional and surgical, with a focus on boosting her patients' self-esteem.

“My experience as an eye surgeon and physician in clinical practice over the last 22 years, combined with my international subspecialty qualifications and teachings, has given me an unique clinical perspective, as well as the expertise and skills to deliver safe, effective, and high-quality care to all of my patients.

I commonly perform lower and upper blepharoplasty surgery in London. Upper Blepharoplasty can be a functional procedure where I will surgically remove extra skin that is drooping into the visual field, thus considerably increasing peripheral vision and making daily activities like driving easier. The thin eyelid skin ages more quickly, accelerated by the patient’s skin type, genes, UV damage from the sun, diet and smoking. It can also be performed for cosmetic reasons, but a proper assessment is needed before the surgery can be recommended,” Miss Shams explained.

She went on to say that if certain circumstances cause the tissue and muscles that support the eyelids to weaken, allowing the eyelid fat to herniate forward, blepharoplasty may become essential for some patients. These alterations might cause a heavy feeling over the eyes, as well as making you appear fatigued and older. Blepharoplasty might help you look more vibrant and youthful.
