Your gaze should reflect presence — not a narrative of stress.

Excessive upper eyelid exposure can project a skeletal or hollow appearance, independent of your health or lifestyle. This “loss of orbital volume support” increases upper eyelid depth, subtly disrupting the balance of your eyes and upper face.

Using our doctor-led 3-Pillar Framework™, we refine the delicate architecture of the upper eyelids. By rebuilding structural volume while preserving natural anatomy, we reduce exposure to achieve results that embody Identity Alignment™.

    When your eyes begin to look sunken

    Treat excessive upper eyelid exposure the medical way.

    It’s not stress, it’s structural

    A “startled” or skeletal appearance emerges when the upper eyelid fat pads reduce. As this cushion recedes, the underlying bone emerges, forming a peaked "A-frame" hollow, independent of your health or lifestyle.

    Topical solutions don't rebuild orbital support

    Serums and lasers may improve texture, but they cannot rebuild volume or reduce the orbital void. True refinement requires precise adjustment of the upper eyelid architecture, refining natural depth and contour.

    This isn’t about change, it’s about Identity Alignment™

    Refining upper eyelid exposure isn’t about looking “done” or artificial. It’s about looking refreshed, rested, and aligned with how you feel, all while preserving natural expression.

    The Undetectable Standard™ at every step

    Our clinicians personalise treatment to your anatomy and goals, achieving seamless results with clear guidance and ongoing care through our doctor-led 3-Pillar Framework™.

    Treatment info

    Treatment objectives

    The goal of our medical upper eyelid treatment is to achieve Identity Alignment™. To accomplish this, our clinical objectives include:

    • Softening upper eyelid hollowing by rebuilding structural volume to the recessed “cushion” above the eye.
    • Addressing the A-frame deformity and bony shadows caused by a loss of deep orbital support.
    • Refining the upper eyelid crease to reduce excessive exposure and achieve a balanced, composed depth.
    • Adhering to the Undetectable Standard™: results are noticeable to you, yet remain untraceable to others.

    Suitability

    Medical upper eyelid treatments are typically suitable for those seeking to refine structural above eye hollows and an A-frame deformity. It may be right for you if you:

    • Notice sunken eyes with excess eyelid exposure or A-frame hollowing that doesn’t improve with lifestyle changes
    • Feel healthy but appear chronically depleted
    • Seek a discreet result that preserves your natural anatomy

    The “No” guarantee

    To maintain the Undetectable Standard™, we operate a strict policy of clinical honesty. If our clinicians believe treatment is not clinically appropriate, we will not proceed. Your assessment will provide you with clarity, not a compromised result.

    Preparation

    To prepare for your appointment:

    • Clean face: Please arrive without makeup
    • Hydration: Drink water before your visit

    We’ll provide more detailed easy-to-follow preparation instructions when you book.

    Aftercare

    After your medical under-eye treatment:

    • Avoid touching: Do not touch or rub the treated areas for 4 hours
    • Redness: If you notice any redness, gently calm your skin with a wrapped cold pack for 20 minutes per hour

    We’ll provide simple instructions during your appointment so you can get straight back to your day.

    Results

    • The Undetectable Standard™: Excessive upper eyelid exposure and hollowness reduce. You look relaxed and healthy, without obvious signs of treatment.
    • Identity Alignment™: By respecting natural upper eyelid anatomy and applying our 90/10 rule of restraint, your results feel like you—not a corrected version of someone else.
    • Sustainable Consistency: Our 3-Pillar Framework™ supports long-term integrity of the upper eyelids. Where appropriate, periodic refinements stabilise eyelid exposure and hollowing, rather than the fluctuating outcomes of sporadic treatment.

    Check your suitability for personalised guidance.

    Upper eyelid hollowness may develop over time as the natural fat pads in the area diminish and descend. Some individuals naturally have a more deeply-set eye structure, creating the appearance of hollowness. Genetics and lifestyle factors can also play a role in the development of above eye hollowness.

    An A-frame describes a specific contour in the upper eyelid and brow area, often seen after surgery or over time, although it can occur as a natural anatomical variant. It’s characterised by depressions or hollowness both towards the nose and the temples above the eye, creating an “A” shape.

    Non-surgical treatments aim to address upper eyelid hollows by carefully targeting volume and optimising skin quality. We use various methods depending on your needs, as determined during a consultation.

    The best way to determine if this treatment is suitable for you is to schedule a consultation with one of our experienced clinicians. We will assess the degree of your upper eyelid hollowness, discuss your expectations, and recommend a personalised treatment plan.

    To help make the process simple, we have developed an all-inclusive fixed price for our medical upper eyelid treatments that target the upper face.

    So that we can provide pricing information, we first require you to complete our free online suitability assessment, so that a clinician can determine if it’s right for you.

    People’s experiences of discomfort vary, but most report only mild, brief discomfort with non-surgical upper eyelid treatments.

    Most treatments involve the use of numbing to minimise discomfort.

    The duration of the results can vary depending on the type of treatment used and individual factors. Generally, results fade over months to years.

    Final results from upper eyelid treatments typically develop over days as the areas heals. The specific time depends on the methods used, and how quickly your body heals.

    Upper eyelid treatments typically have short recovery times, characterised by mild redness and swelling in most cases. Bruising is uncommon, and you can generally resume most normal activity shortly after your appointment.

    Upper eyelid treatments are considered low-risk.

    Common side effects include mild redness, swelling and tenderness. Bruising is uncommon, and typically settles in a few days.

    Rare risks include infections and nerve irritation.
