Critical Information About This Surgery

This is invasive surgery, not a cosmetic treatment. Blepharoplasty requires cutting beneath the skin, carries risks, and is a serious medical decision that should not be taken lightly.

You must:

  • Have a GP referral before clinical assessment
  • Complete a Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) screening questionnaire
  • Observe a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period after clinical assessment
  • Be a suitable candidate both medically and psychologically
  • A second clinical assessment is required before the mandatory 7-day cooling-off period begins.

What is Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that addresses excess skin, fat, and muscle around the eyelids. It can be performed on upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. Procedures are performed in our WA Health Department licensed Day Hospital in Nedlands under procedural sedation. Absolute Cosmetic was the first clinic in Western Australia to achieve formal cosmetic credentialing.

Before & After Images - ESSENTIAL DISCLAIMERS

You must not make surgical decisions based primarily on these image

READ BEFORE VIEWING IMAGES

These images show actual patients of Dr Glenn Murray who underwent eyelid surgery, often in combination with other procedures. These images are for educational purposes only.

Critical warnings:

  • Individual results vary: Factors including genetics, healing response, age, skin quality, lifestyle, overall health, and adherence to aftercare instructions significantly influence outcomes.
  • These results do not guarantee your outcome
  • Your result may be better, worse, or completely different
  • Many images show results at 1 month when swelling is still present – final results may differ significantly
  • Images may show multiple procedures performed simultaneously (not just blepharoplasty alone)
  • All surgery shown carries significant risks
  • Surgical complications, scarring, and asymmetry are possible but may not be visible in these images

Mandatory Pre-Surgery Requirements

1. GP Referral Required

In accordance with AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) protocol, a GP referral is mandatory for all cosmetic surgical procedures before you can book a clinical assessment with Dr Glenn Murray.

 

2. Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) Screening

You must complete a BDD questionnaire to assess your suitability for surgery. This protects your well-being and helps identify if surgery is appropriate for you.

Body Dysmorphic Disorder is a mental health condition where individuals become fixated on perceived flaws in their appearance. Surgery is not appropriate for individuals with untreated BDD and may cause harm.

 

3. Mandatory Cooling-Off Period

After your clinical assessment with Dr Glenn Murray and a second clinical assessment with a member of our clinical team, a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period commences.

During this time, you must:

  • Review all information provided
  • Consider the risks and benefits carefully
  • Seek a second opinion if desired
  • Ensure you are making this decision for yourself, not due to external pressure
  • Confirm you can afford the total cost, including time off work

Surgery is only scheduled after the 7-day cooling-off period is complete.

 

Understanding Eyelid Surgery Options

Options

Periorbital rejuvenation is often sectional, not a single procedure. Depending on your anatomy, treatment planning may involve:

1) Brow foundation (brow lift): addressing brow descent that can contribute to eyelid hooding

2) Eyelid correction (blepharoplasty): removal of redundant skin/tissue

3) Volume restoration (fat transfer): supporting the under-eye/periorbital transition

4) Surface refinement (erbium laser): targeting crepey texture surgery alone may not address

Upper Blepharoplasty (Upper Eyelid Surgery)

Addresses excess skin, fat, and muscle in the upper eyelid area through surgical excision.

Important consideration: The appearance of the upper eyelid can be influenced by brow position. In some cases, addressing the brow position may be necessary for optimal results. This will be assessed during clinical assessment.

Lower Blepharoplasty (Lower Eyelid Surgery)

Addresses excess skin, fat, and tissue in the lower eyelid area. Lower eyelid anatomy is complex, and this procedure requires careful surgical planning.

Tear Troughs (Under-Eye Hollows): In some cases, hollow areas beneath the eyelids can create shadowing. Fat transfer or other treatments may be discussed during clinical assessment to address these concerns.

Combination Approaches

In some cases, multiple procedures may be recommended. This might include:

  • Fat Transfer: Surgical procedure to add volume to hollow areas
  • Thread Lift or Brow Lift: To address brow position
  • Erbium Laser Treatment: For skin texture and tone (separate procedure)

Each combination increases complexity, risks, recovery time, and cost.

Blepharoplasty Pricing

Blepharoplasty pricing varies depending on your anatomy, the type of procedure recommended, and where your surgery is performed. Your total cost will be confirmed in writing during your clinical assessment with Dr Murray before you decide to proceed.

Starting Costs

These starting prices do not include mandatory additional fees, so the total will be higher:

  • Skin-only upper blepharoplasty: from $2,200
  • Full blepharoplasty: from $4,400

Mandatory Additional Costs

Your total quote will also include required costs such as:

  • Theatre fees
  • Anaesthetist fees
  • Pre-operative blood tests (if required)

Other Possible Costs

Depending on your plan and what’s prescribed, additional costs may include:

  • Post-surgical garments/creams
  • Post-operative medications
  • Additional follow-up appointments (if needed)

Clinical Assessment Fees

A clinical assessment is required to confirm suitability and provide an accurate total quote.

  • Dr Murray surgical clinical assessment: from $100 (GP referral required)
  • Nurse consultation: Complimentary by phone or $50 in person

Please note: A separate clinical assessment with Dr Murray is required before any surgery date can be set, even if you have a nurse consultation first.

KEY INFORMATION

  • Total Cost Transparency

    Your total cost will be discussed with you and provided in writing during your clinical assessment with Dr Murray. Please don’t proceed unless you understand the full cost and feel comfortable paying it without financial stress.

  • Payment Options

    Payment methods may include:

    • Cash
    • Credit card (Visa/Mastercard)
    • Lay-by arrangements
    • Afterpay

    If you’re considering a payment plan or financing for elective cosmetic surgery, it’s important to think carefully. Surgery should never be undertaken because finance is available.

Complete Booking Process

Step 1: Obtain GP Referral & Complete BDD Questionnaire

Before you can book a clinical assessment:

Step 2: Book Your First Clinical Assessment

[Buttons]: Book Online | Call Reception

Step 3: Attend Clinical Assessment with Dr Glenn Murray

During this clinical assessment:

  • Comprehensive medical history and physical examination
  • Discussion of your concerns and goals
  • Realistic assessment of what surgery can and cannot achieve

Step 4: Second Clinical Assessment

A second clinical assessment with a member of our clinical team is required. This ensures:

  • You fully understand the procedure
  • All questions have been answered
  • You are making an informed decision
  • Informed consent is appropriately obtained

Step 5: Mandatory 7-Day Cooling-Off Period

After the second clinical assessment, the mandatory 7-day cooling-off period begins.

During this time, you should:

  • Review all information provided
  • Consider seeking a second opinion
  • Discuss the decision with trusted family/friends (if you choose)
  • Reflect on whether this is the right decision for you
  • Ensure you are not being pressured by anyone
  • Confirm you can afford the total cost
  • Review the risks and recovery requirements again

You have the right to withdraw at any time, even after signing consent forms, until the day of surgery.

Step 6: Schedule Surgery (If Proceeding)

After the 7-day cooling-off period, if you decide to proceed:

  • Contact our Patient Experience Manager
  • Surgery date will be scheduled
  • Pre-operative instructions will be provided
  • Blood tests will be required (must be completed ≥2 weeks before surgery)
  • Nicotine/cotinine testing if applicable (must be completed ≥4 weeks before surgery)

Pre-Operative Requirements

Nicotine

You must stop all nicotine products for at least 4 weeks before surgery and 6-8 weeks after surgery.

This includes:

  • Smoking cigarettes
  • Vaping/e-cigarettes
  • Nicotine patches, gum, lozenges
  • Passive smoke exposure (being around smokers)

Why this is critical:

  • Nicotine significantly slows healing
  • Increases risk of infection
  • Increases risk of tissue death (necrosis)
  • Increases risk of unsatisfactory cosmetic results
  • Can cause serious complications

Non-negotiable: Your surgery willbe cancelled with all fees forfeited if you smoke, vape, or are exposed to smoke within 4 weeks of your procedure. Nicotine testing may be required to verify compliance.

Medications & Supplements to Stop

Stop these for 10 days before surgery:

  • Aspirin
  • Nurofen (ibuprofen)
  • All non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
  • Vitamin E supplements
  • Fish oil
  • Green tea supplements
  • Turmeric supplements
  • All herbal supplements
  • Any other blood-thinning agents

Important: Some medications cannot be stopped. Discuss ALL medications you take with Dr. Glenn Murray (MED0001196978) (MED0001196978) during clinical assessment, including over-the-counter medications and supplements.

Mandatory Blood Tests

Standard blood tests: Must be completed ≥2 weeks before surgery

Cotinine (nicotine) test (if requested): Must be completed ≥4 weeks before surgery

Blood tests assess your fitness for surgery and anaesthesia. Abnormal results may mean surgery needs to be postponed or cancelled.

Day of Surgery Requirements

  • Fasting is mandatory:

    • No food or water for 6 hours before your scheduled surgery time
    • You may take a small sip of water to take pre-surgery medication if necessary

  • Arrival:

    • Arrive on time for full admission by the medical team
    • Bring a responsible adult who will collect you and provide overnight supervision
    • Do not drive yourself to surgery
    • Wear comfortable, loose clothing that buttons or zips in front
    • Do not wear makeup, jewellery, or contact lenses

What to Expect After Eyelid Surgery

Immediate Post-Operative (Day 0-1)

After the procedure:

  • You will feel drowsy from sedation (this is normal and expected)
  • You should not experience severe pain, but some discomfort is normal
  • Mild to moderate pain is managed with prescribed medication
  • If you experience severe pain or excessive swelling, report this to Dr Murray immediately
  • A competent supervising adult must collect you and provide overnight observation.
  • Day 1 Review: You will undergo a review by our team the day following surgery.

Days 1-7: Initial Recovery

What to expect:

  • Significant bruising and swelling (this is normal)
  • Both upper and lower eyelid areas will be swollen
  • Bruising may extend to the cheeks
  • Temporary blurred vision for a few days (should resolve on its own, but must be reported)
  • Difficulty fully closing eyes in some cases
  • Sutures present (typically removed on Day 7)

What you must do:

  • Complete rest for a minimum of 5 days
  • No strenuous activities whatsoever
  • Sleep with your head elevated
  • Apply cold compresses as instructed
  • Take all prescribed medications
  • Do not smoke or be exposed to smoke
  • Avoid alcohol
  • Avoid bending, lifting, or straining
  • Keep surgical sites clean and dry

Weeks 2-4: Continued Recovery

Suture removal: Typically, Day 7

Possible return to work: Day 8-14, depending on:

  • Extent of bruising and swelling (varies significantly between patients)
  • Your occupation (desk work vs. physically demanding)
  • Your comfort with appearance during recovery

Exercise:

  • Avoid ALL exercise for the initial 2 weeks
  • Gradual, cautious return to physical activity after 2 weeks with Dr. Glenn Murray (MED0001196978) (MED0001196978)’s approval
  • No heavy lifting, straining, or high-impact activities for 4-6 weeks

Bruising: Can be more pronounced and last longer for lower blepharoplasty

Swelling: Will gradually reduce but may persist for weeks

Months 1-3: Healing & Recovery Progress

Scarring:

  • Scars will gradually fade over 1-3 months or longer
  • Upper blepharoplasty scars are placed in natural eyelid creases to minimise visibility
  • Some patients may consider laser resurfacing to further improve scar appearance (additional cost and procedure)

Final Results:

  • May not be apparent for 1-3 months or longer
  • Swelling can persist and mask final results
  • Some patients experience prolonged healing

Important: Results cannot be guaranteed. Some patients may require revision surgery.

More About Surgery Recovery Time

Possible Risks and Complications From Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

All surgery carries risks. Blepharoplasty involves cutting beneath the skin, which means complications can’t be eliminated entirely, even with careful planning and an experienced clinician.

Most people experience temporary swelling and bruising during recovery. Some patients may also notice dry or irritated eyes, light sensitivity, or temporary blurred vision in the days after surgery. Scars are permanent, although they’re typically placed in natural creases where possible.

Less common but more serious complications can occur, including infection, bleeding (haematoma), problems with eyelid position or closure, corneal injury, or changes to vision (rare). Anaesthesia also carries its own risks.

If you’re considering blepharoplasty, it’s important to discuss your medical history, medications, and any eye conditions during your clinical assessment. You should also make sure you understand the risks before signing consent forms.

Read the full list here: Comprehensive Risks & Complications

Who Should Not Have This Surgery

You should NOT undergo blepharoplasty if you:

  • Are under 18 years of age
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have active eye infection or eyelid disease
  • Have certain eye conditions (glaucoma, detached retina, severe dry eye, etc.)
  • Have unrealistic expectations about outcomes
  • Have untreated mental health conditions or body dysmorphic disorder
  • Smoke or use nicotine products and cannot/will not stop
  • Have certain medical conditions affecting healing or blood clotting
  • Take medications that cannot be stopped, and increase surgical risks
  • Cannot afford the total cost comfortably
  • Are being pressured by anyone else to have surgery
  • Have had recent eye surgery or procedures

Dr. Glenn Murray (MED0001196978) (MED0001196978) will conduct thorough assessment to determine your suitability.

What Surgery Can & Cannot Achieve

Blepharoplasty is Designed to

  • Remove excess skin from upper or lower eyelids
  • Refine the contour of the lower eyelid by addressing tissue or fat
  • Adjust the upper eyelid skin to improve the appearance of the eyelid crease
  • Support symmetry in the eyelid area when appropriate

Blepharoplasty Can Not

  • Stop the aging process
  • Eliminate all wrinkles around the eyes (including lateral canthal lines/”crow’s feet”)
  • Guarantee symmetry (perfect symmetry is not achievable)
  • Change your fundamental facial structure
  • Solve relationship, career, or life problems
  • Guarantee any specific aesthetic outcome

Realistic Expectations

  • Individual responses vary significantly
  • One person’s results do not predict another’s
  • Your genetics, healing response, skin quality, and age all affect outcomes
  • Multiple procedures may be required to achieve desired results
  • Aging will continue after surgery
  • You may not achieve the appearance you envisioned

 

Surgery should only be undertaken with realistic expectations and a full understanding of limitations.

Combining Procedures

Overview

Blepharoplasty is sometimes combined with other procedures:

Fat Transfer

  • Surgical procedure to add volume to hollow areas
  • Requires liposuction from the donor site
  • Adds surgical risks, recovery time, and cost
  • See our Fat Transfer page for full information

Thread Lift or Brow Lift

  • Minimally invasive procedure to address brow position
  • Can be performed concurrently or separately
  • Adds recovery time and cost

Erbium Laser Treatment

  • Ablative laser procedure for skin texture and tone
  • Targets fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation
  • Separate procedure with its own risks and recovery

Important: Combining procedures:

  • Increases surgical complexity
  • Increases risks and potential complications
  • Extends recovery time
  • Increases the total cost significantly
  • Makes it harder to attribute outcomes to specific procedures

All combined procedures will be fully discussed during consultation with a comprehensive risk assessment.

Blepharoplasty surgery removes excess skin and fat tissue, but ageing continues. Longevity varies between individuals.

Post-operative care includes wound care, attending follow-up appointments, and following medical instructions during healing.

Most procedures are day surgery, with no overnight hospital stay. This depends on the procedure and whether brow lifting is performed.

Scars are permanent but usually placed in natural lines of the eyelids. Healing and scar visibility vary.

Surgical planning considers facial symmetry, but natural asymmetry and healing differences can affect outcomes.
