# Blepharoplasty Brisbane

The eyes carry more of the ageing story than any other feature, and they carry it in two distinct ways. Upper eyelids accumulate loose skin that folds over the lash line — hooding that can feel heavy by evening and, in advanced cases, intrude on the upper field of vision. Lower eyelids develop bags as the fat cushioning the eye pushes forward against a weakened boundary, with hollowing beneath that deepens the shadow. Blepharoplasty — eyelid surgery — addresses these changes directly, and because upper and lower eyelid surgery are genuinely different operations with different techniques and different aims, they are assessed and planned separately even when performed together.

Dr Scott J Turner is a Specialist Plastic Surgeon (FRACS) whose practice is concentrated on facial aesthetic surgery, consulting in Brisbane at Herstellen Clinic in Spring Hill. This page covers upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, fat repositioning and transconjunctival techniques, the brow lift distinction, Medicare criteria for functional upper eyelid surgery, published costs, recovery, and risks.
