Blepharoplasty in the
Eastern Suburbs

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes or repositions excess skin and tissue from the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. It is performed to address drooping eyelids, under-eye puffiness, or hooding that may impair peripheral vision or cause a tired appearance.

Dr Konrat assesses each patient individually at her Bondi Junction practice, discussing whether upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, or a combined approach is appropriate. The clinic is centrally located in the Eastern Suburbs, making it accessible from Bondi, Rose Bay, Double Bay, Woollahra, Randwick, and the wider Sydney region.

Important Information

Risks & Complications

All surgical procedures carry risks. Potential risks and complications of Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) are outlined below and will also be discussed in detail during consultation.

For broader information about surgical risk, visit the General Risks and Complications page.

Who Is It For?

Reasons Patients Consider
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Excess Upper Eyelid Skin

Hooding of the upper eyelids that creates a heavy or tired appearance, or in some cases reduces the upper field of vision.

Under-Eye Puffiness

Persistent bags or puffiness beneath the lower eyelids caused by fat deposits or fluid retention that does not respond to rest or lifestyle changes.

Age-Related Eyelid Changes

Natural loss of skin elasticity around the eyes over time, leading to drooping or sagging that patients wish to address.

Functional Concerns

Upper eyelid drooping that interferes with peripheral vision. A functional assessment can be performed during your Bondi Junction consultation.

The Process

Your Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Process

01

Consultation at Bondi Junction

Bring a GP referral to your appointment at Suite 402, 59-75 Grafton Street. Dr Konrat will examine your eyelids, discuss your concerns, and determine whether upper, lower, or combined blepharoplasty is suitable. A 7-day cooling-off period applies.

02

Pre-Operative Planning

Stop smoking and avoid blood-thinning medications as directed. Arrange someone to drive you home. You may need an eye examination if functional vision concerns are present.

03

The Procedure

Blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anaesthesia with sedation. Incisions are placed within the natural eyelid creases to minimise visible scarring. The procedure takes approximately 1–2 hours depending on whether both upper and lower lids are treated.

04

Recovery & Follow-Up

Post-operative reviews take place at the Bondi Junction clinic. Cold compresses, head elevation, and prescribed eye drops help manage swelling in the first week. Most patients return to normal activities within 10–14 days.

Recovery & Aftercare

What to Expect
After Surgery

Eyelid surgery recovery is generally well tolerated. Bruising and swelling around the eyes are normal in the first week and gradually subside. Dr Konrat provides aftercare guidance at the Bondi Junction clinic.

01
Days 1–3

Rest & Cold Compresses

Keep your head elevated and apply cold compresses as directed. Bruising and swelling around the eyes are expected. Use prescribed eye drops and avoid rubbing your eyes.

02
Days 5–7

Suture Removal

Sutures are typically removed at the Bondi Junction clinic around day 5–7. Bruising begins to fade. Light reading and screen use can resume if comfortable.

03
Week 2–3

Return to Daily Activities

Most patients resume work and social activities within two weeks. Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and swimming until cleared by Dr Konrat.

04
Months 1–3

Scars Mature

Incision lines within the eyelid creases gradually fade and become less noticeable. Sun protection is important during this period to prevent pigmentation changes.

Important: Contact the clinic immediately if you experience excessive bleeding, severe pain, or signs of infection. Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided before and after your procedure.

Preparing for Your Consultation

  • Bring your GP referral letter
  • Prepare a list of medications, supplements, or medical conditions
