Thinking about blepharoplasty but unsure what to expect? Questions about vision are among the most common that come up in consultations, and they deserve a thorough answer.

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that addresses excess skin and tissue around the eyelids which may improve your peripheral vision. As with any surgical or invasive procedure, there are risks involved. The specific risks and outcomes will depend on your individual circumstances, anatomy, and health.

A consultation with a specialist plastic surgeon is the right place to discuss whether the procedure is appropriate for you and what the realistic expectations are.

Great day yesterday speaking with medical students at a Careers and Skills Clinic hosted by my good friend and general surgeon Gian Capati.

It was a great reminder of why I chose plastic and reconstructive surgery. The diversity, creativity and precision involved across reconstructive and cosmetic surgery make it an incredibly rewarding specialty. I particularly enjoy giving students an insight into the breadth of what plastic surgeons actually do.

And always a pleasure catching up with passionate colleagues from across the surgical specialties and hearing what inspires them in their own fields.
