Upper Eyelid Lift (MATB)
Refresh and Rejuvenate Tired Eyes
Upper Eyelid Lift Surgery in Altrincham
As we age, the skin on the upper eyelids can begin to droop or sag, giving the eyes a tired, heavy, or aged appearance.
At Bollin Clinic, our Upper Eyelid Lift (MATB – Minimal Access Transcutaneous Blepharoplasty) offers a refined, minimally invasive solution to restore a youthful, alert, and refreshed look.
What Is an Upper Eyelid Lift (MATB)?
The Upper Eyelid Lift, medically known as Upper Blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat from the upper eyelids. Our specialized MATB technique (Minimal Access Transcutaneous Blepharoplasty) uses smaller incisions and a delicate approach to achieve natural, rejuvenated results with faster recovery and minimal scarring.
This advanced technique enhances the eye area while maintaining your natural eyelid contour and facial harmony.
Who Is the Procedure For?
You may be a great candidate for an Upper Eyelid Lift (MATB) if you:- Have drooping or sagging upper eyelids that make you appear tired or older
- Experience hooded eyelids that interfere with makeup application or vision
- Notice asymmetry between your eyelids
- Want to refresh your appearance without major surgery
- Are in good general health and have realistic expectations
If your upper eyelids are affecting your confidence, or your vision, this procedure can restore a more open, youthful, and energised look to your eyes.
The MATB Procedure
At Bollin Clinic, our MATB upper eyelid lift is performed by experienced surgeons using precise microsurgical techniques.
Here’s what to expect:
Consultation
We assess your eyelids, facial structure, and goals to design a personalized treatment plan.
Anaesthesia
The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthetic, ensuring comfort and safety.
Incision
A tiny incision is made in the natural crease of the upper eyelid.
Correction
Excess skin and small amounts of fat are carefully removed or repositioned.
Closure
Fine sutures are placed to achieve seamless, nearly invisible healing.
The MATB method allows for reduced swelling, minimal bruising, and quicker recovery compared to traditional blepharoplasty.
Recovery and Results
Recovery from an upper eyelid lift is generally straightforward:
- Mild swelling and bruising may occur for 5–7 days.
- Most patients return to normal activities within one week.
- Stitches (if used) are usually removed after 5 days.
- Final results become more visible as healing continues over several weeks.
Once healed, your eyes will appear brighter, smoother, and naturally rejuvenated, without that “surgical” look.
