I saw Professor Jeeva today for a consultation regarding lower blephoroplasty. I was made very welcome and put at ease. The procedure was explained to me and I was encouraged to ask as many questions I wanted. I wasn't made to feel rushed or pressured into anything and left feeling that if I do decide to proceed I will be in safe hands.
Alison SmithMy mum Maureen Astles had a Zoom consultation with Mr Jeeva this morning. What a lovely surgeon he was helpful informative and such a nice smile putting her totally at ease. She is now looking forward to meeting him in person for surgery as she knows she will be in the best hands for a successful outcome.
Catherine AstlesI would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Mr Jeeva, my surgeon and all the doctors and staff at the centre. The care I received from start to finish was exceptional. I felt at ease and was reassured throughout the procedure, feeling safe the entire time. I cannot thank you enough and will definitely be recommending your services to family and friends.
Denise DouthwaiteWhat is Entropion Surgery?
Entropion develops when the lower eyelid droops or turns inward towards the eye, often due to age-related muscle relaxation, prior trauma, or muscle spasms. When the eyelid turns inward, the eyelashes and skin constantly rub against the delicate surface of the eye (cornea), leading to pain, irritation, redness and excessive watering.
Entropion surgery is a delicate medical procedure designed to tighten the eyelid and gently return it to its proper outward-facing position. In simple terms, our surgeon carefully adjusts the muscles and tendons of the lower lid so that your eyelashes no longer scratch the eye's surface, restoring a healthy, comfortable blink.

Left untreated, entropion can lead to long-term discomfort, corneal ulcers, and even permanent damage to your vision. You may choose entropion surgery if you are facing:
Dr Musa and team will assess your eyelid, related symptoms and the health of the surrounding tissue to determine whether surgery is the safest path forward for you.
How Does Entropion Surgery Work?
Entropion surgery is a highly advanced technique that involves restoring the proper position of your lower eyelid by tightening the muscles and tendons. Once we administer a local anaesthetic to numb your eye and the surrounding areas for your comfort, our specialist creates a minute incision at the edge of your eyelid, just below the lash line.
Then, the underlying muscles are tightened and repositioned to hold the eyelid flat against the eye. The entire procedure takes roughly 30 to 45 minutes per eye, depending on the approach chosen. Our expert's specific approach will ensure proper eyelid positioning and protect your delicate eyes from further friction from eyelashes.

It typically develops as the muscles and tendons around the eye relax with age, though it can also be caused by scarring, prior trauma, or muscle spasms.
Not at all. We gently numb your eye with a local anaesthetic to ensure you are entirely comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure.
Eye drops, ointments, or eyelid tape can temporarily relieve irritation, but surgery is the definitive way to correct the eyelid's position and protect the eye.
While you can return to desk work in just a few days, full stability and the fading of any minor surgical marks can take several weeks.
