The Benefits of Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
At Quaba Cosmetic Surgery, we understand that patients from Glasgow seek eyelid surgery for a variety of reasons and are willing to travel for the right care. Some aim to reduce signs of ageing, while others want to address functional issues caused by drooping eyelids. Whatever your reason, we are here to help you achieve your personal goals.
Some key benefits of eyelid and eye bag surgery:
ENHANCED APPEARANCE
ENHANCED APPEARANCE
Eyelid surgery can create a more refreshed and youthful appearance by addressing sagging skin, puffiness, or bags around the eyes (commonly known as eye bags). It helps open up the eyes, giving you a more awake and rejuvenated look.
IMPROVED VISION
IMPROVED VISION
For some patients, excess skin on the upper eyelids can interfere with vision. Blepharoplasty can remove this excess tissue, resulting in a clearer field of view.
REDUCED PUFFINESS AND BAGS
REDUCED PUFFINESS AND BAGS
Lower eyelid surgery can reduce puffiness and bags under the eyes (eye bags), which are often caused by the shifting of fat or fluid retention. This results in a smoother, more youthful contour.
ENHANCED SELF-CONFIDENCE
ENHANCED SELF-CONFIDENCE
Many patients experience increased confidence after eyelid surgery, as the eyes are one of the most noticeable features of the face. By achieving a fresher appearance, patients often feel more comfortable in social and professional settings.

Eyelid consultation – Perfect result
I would highly recommend Mr Quaba, after explaining the problem I had with puffy eyes thinking I was going to need surgery but he knew immediately what the problem was and how to resolve it. I’d had facial fillers 4 years ago and they had migrated causing my problem he dissolved the fillers and immediately the puffiness had gone in an instant. Should I ever need to have cosmetic surgery I will have no hesitation in having done by Mr Quaba. Thank you.
