How We Treat Eyelid Trauma
Our approach addresses both functionality and appearance to ensure complete recovery:
- Functional Restoration – We repair the eyelid margin, tear duct system, and canthal tendons (ligaments that hold the eyelid in place) to restore proper eyelid closure, tear drainage, and eye protection.
- Cosmetic Reconstruction – Where needed, surgery also improves the eyelid’s appearance, helping restore symmetry and boost confidence after an injury.
Early treatment is crucial — prompt care can improve healing and reduce long-term complications. Book a consultation today to discuss your personalised eyelid trauma repair plan.

Eyelid Trauma Surgery FAQs
Eyelid trauma surgery is recommended for cuts, punctures, blunt force injuries, burns, and animal bites that affect the eyelid’s function or appearance.
It’s important to seek immediate medical attention — early intervention can improve healing, reduce infection risk, and prevent long-term complications.
The goal of surgery is to restore eyelid function, protect the eye, and improve comfort — which can enhance vision if the injury affected your ability to blink or close your eye properly.
Our approach prioritises minimising scarring by carefully aligning the natural eyelid creases for a discreet, natural-looking result.
Most patients experience initial healing within 1-2 weeks, though swelling and bruising may take a bit longer to resolve. Full results are typically visible within a few months.
