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 Eyelid Cyst Removal?
An eyelid cyst typically develops when one of the tiny oil glands (meibomian glands) at the edge of your eyelid becomes blocked. The oil builds up, creating a swollen, often tender lump. While some resolve with warm compresses, persistent cysts require a minor medical procedure to clear the blockage.
Eyelid cyst removal is a fast, delicate procedure. We gently clear the trapped fluid and inflammatory tissue, usually from the inside of the eyelid, meaning there are no visible marks left behind. Our expert approach follows a simple philosophy: the minimum intervention for the best possible result.

How Does Eyelid Cyst Removal Treatment Work?
Before your procedure begins, we numb the treatment area using a local anaesthetic to help you feel comfortable throughout the procedure. You will remain awake, but you should not feel pain during the treatment.
Our surgeon carefully opens the affected eyelid. We then remove the cyst contents and clean the surrounding area to help minimise the risk of recurrence.
The cut is usually very small and heals without leaving much scarring. The surgery is performed with great care to ensure the sensitive eyelid region is protected. The patient usually feels better and notices the difference in their eyelids immediately after the surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
They usually develop when the tiny oil-producing glands in your eyelid become blocked, causing a build-up of fluid and inflammation.
Not at all. We gently numb your eyelid with a local anaesthetic to ensure you are entirely comfortable and pain-free throughout the short procedure.
No. Our surgeon performs the procedure from inside the eyelid in almost all cases, so you will not have visible stitches or marks on your skin.
You will need someone to drive you home, as you will likely have a protective eye pad over the treated eye for the first few hours.
Warm compresses and gentle lid massage are brilliant first steps. However, if the cyst has been present for several weeks and hasn't resolved, a minor surgical removal is the most definitive option.
