Blepharoplasty

A blepharoplasty is an operation that removes excess loose folds of skin from the upper eyelids and 'bags' from the lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery is performed for people who have droopy, overhanging eyelids that impair vision, cause frequent blinking and eye fatigue or look unsightly. It is also performed on people who have "puffy" lower eyelids that may look unsightly. Read more...

Tear Trough Rejuvenation

Eyebrow Lift

A brow lift is an operation that raises eyebrows which have become droopy. The operation may be performed in isolation or in conjunction with an upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Read more...

Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Anti-Wrinkle Injections are very commonly used for the treatment of frown lines and unwanted facial wrinkles. Frown lines are caused by the involuntary contraction of the muscles between the eyebrows (this area is referred to as the glabella). It can also be used to improve the "laughter lines" around the eyes, and in some patients, horizontal creases in the forehead. When used to treat frown lines in the glabella it often causes a secondary lift of the eyebrows. Read more...

Orbital Implants

Following successful human clinical trials the US Food and Drug Administration authorised the use of these orbital implants in September 1989. Porous hydroxyapatite orbital implants have now become the implants of first choice amongst the leading oculoplastic surgeons world-wide. By January 2005 over 1200 patients had received this implant under Dr. Leatherbarrow's care in Manchester. Read more...

Mohs Micrographic Surgery

Mohs surgery is a highly specialised surgical technique to remove certain skin tumours. It has an extremely high cure rate; no other treatment modality can guarantee complete removal of the tumour to as high a degree of certainty. Further, this technique ensures that an absolute minimal amount of normal tissue is sacrificed. This is of immense importance around the eyes. This also ensures that the reconstructive surgery required to deal with the ensuing defect is less extensive. Read more...

Orbital Decompression

An orbital decompression operation is a surgical procedure undertaken to create more space in the orbit. This is usually performed for the management of a patient with thyroid eye disease. Read more...

Eyelid Tumours

Eyelid and facial lesions (tumours/growths/lumps) are common in patients referred to oculoplastic surgeons. The main goal in the evaluation of these lesions is to differentiate malignant from benign lesions. In general, the majority of malignant tumours affecting the eyelids and surrounding areas are slowly enlarging, destructive lesions that distort or frankly destroy eyelid anatomy. Read more...

Lacrimal Drainage Surgery

Excessive tearing or the bothersome problem of tears overflowing down the cheek is called epiphora. This can have many different causes. A careful clinical examination is performed to determine the underlying cause. Treatment will depend on the cause e.g. if the lower eyelid is sagging away from the eye and causing epiphora, the treatment will be surgery designed to reposition the eyelid. Read more...
