EYELID SURGERY

Dr Hunt has performed hundreds of upper and lower eyelid surgeries on men throughout his 15 year career.

Eyelid surgery works to counteract drooping upper lids and puffy bags beneath the eyes, resulting in a younger, fresher appearance.

Forgetting all the clichés about windows and souls, our eyes really are our most important feature. They’re what people notice first. They’re what they focus on when speaking to us. And they play a huge role in how youthful and attractive we are perceived to be.

Answer:

Your eyelid surgery will be performed under either a local or general anaethestic at your preferred hospital. Regardless of the location, this anaethestic will be performed by a member of the Australian Society of Anaethetists, hand selected by Dr Hunt.
