If you are considering eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, it is essential to feel fully informed before making any decisions. Asking the right questions during your consultation can ensure your surgeon understands your goals and helps you feel confident in their approach.

Here are the top questions to ask your eyelid doctor before booking your procedure:

1. Are you experienced in eyelid surgery specifically?
   Eyelid surgery is delicate and requires specialist knowledge. Jonathan’s experience of eyelid surgery is from the earliest days of life to old age and is deeply invested in eyelid function and beautiful, natural dynamic appearance. Upper and lower blepharoplasty procedures are the most frequent surgeries he performs. Always ask about your surgeon’s experience and how frequently they perform upper and lower blepharoplasty procedures.

2. What results can I realistically expect?
   A personalised consultation should involve an honest discussion about your expectations. Ask to see before-and-after photos of patients with similar features or concerns to help visualise the likely outcomes. Jonathan will show you case histories, three-dimensional surface scan results, and Patient Reported Outcome Questionnaires (QPROMs) for all his eyelid surgery.

3. Will surgery improve both appearance and function?
   Blepharoplasty can be cosmetic or functional, such as when drooping lids impair vision. Ask whether your concerns involve both aesthetics and practical issues.

4. What will recovery involve?
   Find out how long the healing process typically takes, when you can return to work, and how soon results will be visible. At the Jonathan Britto Clinic, we scheduled a year of follow up appointments and support eyelid recovery with topical therapies for skin health where required.

5. Are there non-surgical alternatives?

Where the loss of confidence in eyelid appearance comes from skin health or wrinkle management, we will advise a full suite of non-surgical options.
