Mr Reza Nassab sees patients for blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) at CLNQ, Battersea Reach, London, with surgery performed at a private hospital in London. Whether you live in the capital or are travelling in, your consultation, operation and early follow-up can be planned around a London base, with clear arrangements for aftercare once you return home.
What blepharoplasty can address
Eyelid surgery is designed to treat hooded or heavy upper lids, bags beneath the eyes, and loose lower-lid skin. Through incisions placed in the upper-lid crease, just beneath the lower lashes or on the inside of the lower lid, excess skin can be removed and fat reduced or repositioned. The aim is a fresher, more rested appearance that still looks like you.
It does not treat crow’s feet, pigment-related dark circles or a low brow on its own. Where these are part of the picture, Mr Nassab will explain the options, which may include a brow lift or non-surgical treatment.
Consultation at Battersea Reach
Your consultation takes place at CLNQ, Battersea Reach, on the south bank of the Thames. Mr Nassab will discuss what bothers you about your eyes, your medical and eye history and your expectations, then assess the upper and lower lids, the brow, skin quality and tear function.
You will receive a tailored recommendation, an honest discussion of the risks and a written quote. If you are travelling from outside London, it may be possible to share photographs in advance so that the appointment can be used efficiently. The consultation fee is £150 and is separate from the surgical fee.
Surgery in London
Surgery takes place at a private hospital in London, with details provided when you book. Upper blepharoplasty is often performed under local anaesthetic, while lower-lid or combined procedures may be done under general anaesthetic with an anaesthetist present.
Most patients go home the same day. You will need someone to accompany you afterwards, and it is sensible to stay nearby for the first night or two if you have a long journey home, as travelling is more comfortable once initial swelling has begun to settle.
Travelling in for treatment
- Before surgery: plan to attend your consultation in person and allow a cooling-off period before your operation date.
- Overnight stay: patients from outside London often book local accommodation for the first night after surgery.
- Journey home: arrange to be driven or to travel by public transport with a companion; you should not drive yourself.
- Stitch removal: usually around a week after surgery, at the London clinic.
Mr Nassab also practises in Manchester and Cheshire, which can help some patients plan follow-up closer to home.
Aftercare and follow-up
In the first days, keep your head elevated, use cold compresses and apply the drops or ointment prescribed. Bruising usually fades over one to two weeks, and most people return to office work at around this time. Avoid heavy exercise, swimming and eye make-up until you are advised it is safe.
You will have a direct contact for questions. Increasing pain, a hard swollen eye or reduced vision needs urgent assessment: call the team straight away or attend an emergency department. Fever or spreading redness should be reported the same day.
