When patients come in for upper lid blepharoplasty, sometimes one of the most important (and often overlooked) steps that happens before surgery is relaxing the forehead with Botox.

In this case, the first image shows a patient with significant upper eyelid skin excess, but also marked overactivity of the forehead muscle. You can see the deep dynamic lines formed over years of subconsciously lifting the brows to compensate for heavy upper lids.

This compensation can mask the true extent of the problem.

After carefully placed Botox, the forehead is relaxed, still with some natural movement, but the overactivity is reduced. This allows us to assess the eyelids more accurately and plan surgery based on the patient’s true anatomy, not their compensatory muscle habits.

In the second image, with the forehead no longer overdriving brow elevation, the full degree of skin laxity and heaviness of the muscle  becomes clear. This is crucial, as it guides how much tissue needs to be addressed during surgery, including any necessary muscle tightening.

The goal is always a natural, balanced, harmonious correction that restores function and aesthetics

Botox in this context isn’t just cosmetic — it’s a key part of surgical planning.

We ❤️ what we do for the feedback we receive ⬇️ …

What can I say?! I cannot thank you enough for the amazing transformation you’ve given me! I feel so much more confident, I’ve had so many compliments, including I look so much younger!

I went through blepharoplasty surgery under three weeks ago and I am overwhelmed by the results, even my husband can’t believe the difference!

Dr bhojwani is a miracle worker, a magician with his hands and has made me feel a different person.

Thank you so much for the service I also received pre and post surgery, Helen you were amazing!

I’m 2 and a half weeks post surgery, did I have any pain during surgery, no, did I have any pain post surgery, no, not even one paracetamol was taken. Yes bruised and swollen, expected, but I’m so happy I chose Refine Surgical, I’m blown away by the results!

I have sang your praises from the rooftops and I have 4 friends that are now having or had consultations for surgery. I’ll continue to sing those praises every day, as, you don’t know how much this has meant to me and changed the way I feel about myself. I pour my heart felt thanks out to you all, thank you!!🙏🥰

✨ Wound Healing After Blepharoplasty: More Than Meets the Eye 👁️ ✨

This photo shows a beautifully healed blepharoplasty incision at three months post-surgery. While the result may look effortless, the journey to this point is anything but simple.

Wound healing is a highly complex biological process involving inflammation, collagen remodelling, blood supply, skin quality, genetics, and time. In eyelid surgery, this complexity is magnified: the skin is some of the thinnest in the body, constantly moving, and always on display.

Excellent healing starts in the operating theatre. Meticulous surgical technique is critical — thoughtful incision placement, gentle tissue handling, precise wound construction, and carefully chosen sutures all play a major role in minimising tension and promoting an optimal scar. Small details during surgery make a big difference months later.

Equally important is what happens after surgery. Early after-care helps control swelling and bruising and supports the natural healing process. Cold compresses in the first few days can reduce inflammation, while good wound hygiene protects the incision as it seals. As healing progresses, some patients benefit from topical support such as arnica preparations for bruising, and later products like silicone-based scar treatments, Bio-Oil, or gentle moisturisers to help keep the scar supple as it matures.

It’s also worth remembering that scars don’t truly “settle” for upto 18 months. At three months, healing is well underway, but remodelling continues quietly beneath the surface — which is why patience is just as important as good technique.

This result is a reminder that beautiful outcomes are the sum of surgical skill, thoughtful after-care, and time. When all three align, the body does what it does best.

👁️‍🗨️ If you’re considering eyelid surgery, understanding the healing process is just as important as understanding the procedure itself.

During Blepharoplasty, it’s not uncommon to remove close to 50% of the excess upper eyelid tissue.

Patients often describe their eyes as feeling lighter, more open, and brighter once the extra skin — and in some cases muscle and fat — has been carefully removed. What many don’t realise is just how much redundant tissue can contribute to that heavy, tired sensation.

Once excised, the tissue naturally contracts and curls. In this image, we’ve gently unfolded the specimen on the left to demonstrate its true size — shown against a 7.5 cm square swab for scale.

A small area can make a remarkable difference in both function and appearance.

We’re loving ❤️ this beautiful result at just 2 weeks post-blepharoplasty! 🌟

Wound healing can be supported with cold compresses, ice packs, and arnica gel, all of which are included in the post-operative care pack provided to every patient.

While everyone heals at their own pace, it’s wonderful to see such a great outcome—made even better by excellent patient commitment to after-care.

Sally Smith, thank you for sharing 🙏🏾 You look amazing 🤩
