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 Ptosis Repair?
Ptosis develops when the levator muscle, which lifts your upper eyelid, stretches or weakens over time, causing the lid to droop. It can block your peripheral vision and cause severe eye strain from constantly raising your eyebrows to see clearly.
Ptosis repair is a delicate medical procedure designed to tighten this specific muscle and gently lift the eyelid to its proper, functional position. Our expert approach follows a simple philosophy: the minimum intervention for the best possible result.

How Does Ptosis Repair Treatment Work?
Before your procedure begins, we use anaesthetic drops or a local anaesthetic to help you stay comfortable throughout the treatment. You will be conscious during the procedure, but you should experience no pain.
Our surgeon will make an incision on the eyelid at its crease. The muscle responsible for lifting your eyelid is then tightened to improve the position of the eyelid. Our surgeon performs every step carefully and precisely to achieve a natural appearance.
Once the correction is complete, the incision is closed with very fine stitches to support healing and minimise visible scarring. Our surgeon carefully plans the procedure to improve both your vision and the overall appearance of your eyes. Most patients notice a more open and refreshed look once the healing process begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
The levator muscle in the eyelid typically stretches and weakens with age, leading to the condition. In some cases, nerve issues or previous trauma can also cause it.
Not at all. We gently numb your eye with a local anaesthetic to ensure you are entirely comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure.
While special glasses attachments can prop the lid up temporarily, surgery is the only definitive way to repair the muscle and permanently lift the eyelid.
While you can return to desk work in just a few days, full stability and the settling of the final eyelid height can take up to 10 weeks.
