Blepharoplasty

Miss Elizabeth Hawkes did my upper blepharoplasty surgery. She did a superb job; I am absolutely thrilled with the results. I felt very strongly about selecting a highly qualified, specialized and experienced surgeon for my procedure. Miss Hawkes is an oculoplastic surgeon which was essential for me. I had two in-person consultations with Miss Hawkes before the procedure. She was thorough and professional. I had prepared many detailed questions; she answered them all. On the day of my surgery, the team, led by Miss Hawkes, were excellent. I felt safe and was well cared for from arrival, through surgery and in recovery afterwards. I knew what to expect and followed the detailed post-procedure instructions. I saw Ms. Hawkes for stitch removal 1 week later, which was straightforward and allowed for another check-in. I'm now seven weeks post-surgery and am extremely happy with the results. My eyes look fantastic! Miss Hawkes performed a very skillful surgery, including positioning scars in existing lines; she gave me a very natural result, which is what I wanted. I am so pleased with the results, and my entire experience with Miss Hawkes. I highly recommend Miss Hawkes as an oculoplastic surgeon.

From the very first consultation for my upper blephastry with Ms Elizabeth Hawkes to the last follow up appointment I can honestly say her professionalism, expertise, detail & planning for my procedure was remarkable. I am blown away with my results. I now have no more excessive skin on my upper eyelids, my eyes look so bright & refreshed & the scaring is so minimal at 6 weeks post opp. I literally cannot thank Elizabeth enough she has given me my confidence back she is incredible & highly recommended!

Dr Hawkes is incredible. I’m so pleased I chose her for my lower blepharoplasty. The results are unbelievable, and I’m receiving so many compliments now (currently 8 weeks post procedure). Nobody can figure out what I’ve had done, but all say I look great.

Excellent care and attention from my first consultation through all my follow up appointments. I was nervous on my initial consultation but Ms Hawkes put me at ease and answered all my questions, I felt reassured and confident to go ahead with my surgery. The day of my surgery I was anxious but Ms Hawkes and her team were incredible and I felt safe and comfortable. During post op I was able to call if I had any concerns and felt able to recover safely. Overall a great experience and I can highly recommend Ms Hawkes for anyone considering eye proceedures.

Dr Hawkes is outstanding. I had an upper eye Bleph with her. The initial appointment was super informative. She took me through the options - no pressure at all. We did measurements of the eye and a full eye examination. We discussed in detail what the outcomes would be, I felt very happy and comfortable progressing with her as my surgeon. On the day of the procedure I was very very well looked after at the Cadogan Clinic. I decided to have a GA but she can also perform the procedure under sedation. To say I’m delighted with the results is an understatement, I look fresher / younger and feel great! I had no pain after the procedure and no bruising at all. She gives very detailed post op instructions which I followed to the letter. I found the whole experience very easy and straightforward. I would highly recommend Dr Hawkes.

This was an extremely difficult revision case for a fat transfer under my eyes gone wrong. Three previous revision surgeries failed to work. I was rejected by Daniel Ezra and told the surgery would cause a retraction. Other surgeons were also unprepared to take me on. My only option appeared to be seeing Dr. Guy Massry in the US, who takes on these kinds of cases with success. However, Ms Hawkes was brave enough to take me on and I had a 90% improvement- and no retraction! She is the UK's Dr Massry! Highly recommended.

I had an upper blepharoplasty with Ms Hawkes in October 2024 after thinking I wanted to do it for a couple of years. I had several consultations with her and ultimately went ahead; as I am only 38 I was told that there would not be too much skin to remove but I could still expect a nice natural result. Now 1 week post op the results have totally exceeded my expectations and I'm so pleased, this was the aspect of ageing that bothered me the most and I feel I look 5+ years younger. The scars are super neat and well placed. Would highly recommend Ms Hawkes for this surgery.

If there was an A** for my experience I would give it. Miss Hawkes is just great in every aspect. She is so knowledgeable, explains everything and has a lovely calming manner. I was very scared and had thought about this procedure for many years but as soon as I had my initial consultation with her I knew I was in very experienced and safe hands. I feel that she goes way beyond expectations and cannot recommend her more highly. A big thank you x

Where do I start? Over the past few years, I became increasingly self-conscious about the excess skin over my eyes. Not only did it make me look older, but it also caused discomfort. When a client came in with bruising and stitches around his eyes, he explained he had had blepharoplasty. Intrigued, I began researching the procedure and, more importantly, the best specialists in the field. After a virtual consultation with a London clinic, followed by an in-person meeting, it was confirmed that I would benefit from the surgery. Though additional procedures were suggested, I was only interested in the upper and lower eyelid surgery. I agreed to the fee and scheduled the procedure. However, after speaking with my client about his recovery, which included some complications like styes and seeing his healing photos with swollen, red eyes, I became hesitant. Given my profession, I couldn’t risk any potential complications, so I canceled the surgery. Despite this, I couldn't stop thinking about how much better I would feel without the heavy folds of skin around. my eyes. I resumed my research, this time focusing on oculoplastic surgeons, and discovered Dr. Elizabeth Hawkes. Not only is she one of the top professionals in her field in the UK, but she’s also a board member. After meeting with Dr. Hawkes, discussing the procedure in detail, and seeing numerous before-and-after photos, I felt reassured. She advised against the lower eyelid surgery, stating it would only yield minimal results. This advice, which saved me money, highlighted her integrity and commitment to patient satisfaction. I had the surgery three months later, and the aftercare was exceptional. I was provided with ice packs and eye drops to minimize swelling, and within a week, I was almost back to normal. Although full recovery can take up to six months, I was thrilled with the quick and impressive results. I can't recommend Dr. Hawkes enough. My confidence is back, and I've received so many compliments on how I look. Choosing a qualified oculoplastic surgeon was the best decision I made.

From my very first appointment with Dr Elizabeth Hawkes I felt extremely reassured that she was going to achieve what I was looking for. I felt 100% comfortable & confident with her. She listened to my concerns and guided me with what she felt would be the best solution for me. I have since had my surgery and I’m at week four with amazing results! Thank you Dr Elizabeth Hawkes for making me feel confident in myself again, I would highly recommend you to anyone.

Outstanding. Having researched a number of doctors prior to booking this procedure, Elizabeth Dolatshahy Hawkes gave me great confidence in her experience during a consultation prior to surgery. Explanations of the process and expectations were clear. Importantly, her photo’s of her work were her own and not generic. The results were excellent. I would definitely recommend her services.

I had some issues with my eyes and was referred to Elizabeth Hawkes at the Benenden hospital. From the very first appointment I was reassured that I had made the perfect choice of surgeon. Ms Hawkes was caring, understanding and extremely professional. She explained everything in a way that is easily understood. As part of my treatment I had a blepharoplasty upper eyelid lift and I am overwhelmed of how much difference it has made. My eyes have opened up and I have a fresher look. I didn’t tell many people, but I get a lot of comments now of how “well I look”. I am really impressed with the results. Surgery was as I expected, as everything was explained beforehand by Ms Hawkes. I was swollen and bruised for a bit after but the one thing that did surprised me was there was NO after pain. In my head I was sure there would be so prepared well with painkillers at the ready, but didn’t need to take any. A week or so after I went back to have the stitches out, again all relatively simple. I am now 5 weeks post op and the scars are virtually invisible, hidden in the natural crease of my eyes. If you are thinking of this procedure, then I would definitely recommend it and without doubt recommend Elizabeth Hawkes to do the surgery.

I found the consultation with Dr Hawkes very informative and that we covered any questions I had. It was great to see before and after photos of upper blephs. and Dr Hawkes explained possible risks as well, as I understand there are with any medical or surgical procedure.

I had upper and lower blepharoplasty a little over a week ago with Elizabeth Hawkes at the Cadogan Clinic. The whole experience from initial consultation to operation and post op visit was superb. Elizabeth has a kind, natural and caring approach as do all her team. Her skill levels are incredibly good and I couldn’t be more pleased with the operation results, even only 8 days post op. I would recommend Elizabeth Hawkes and the Cadogan clinic to anyone looking for great results, with the whole process carried out in a lovely caring manner, but professional at all times.

I consulted with Ms Hawkes for a concern about my eyelids and questions around blepharoplasty. She has been very helpful in explaining how it works, transparent about the expectations of the results on my case specifically and the risk. We also discussed other alternatives not involving surgery. I felt very confident after the consultation and decided to proceed with the surgery (lower & upper). On the day of the surgery, I felt reassured, it all went very smoothly. I am now more than 6 weeks post op, the results are incredible, the scars are almost invisible. We looked together at before and after photos last week, and it is impressive. I am very happy with the results, looking more fresh, rested and youthful. I would recommend anyone who is bothered by dropping eyelids to get a consultation with Ms Hawkes.

Extremely pleased with my how refreshed my eyes are now following Upper Blepharoplasty in December. Friends have commented on how amazing they look, and even my husband has said ... its the best thing I've had done. Thank you so very much

I am extremely happy with my eye blepharoplasty . I highly recommend Elizabeth Hawkes my procedure from start to finish went so smoothly and I felt very comfortable .

Elizabeth is very reassuring and provides a comprehensive service. Im not the type to seek out cosmetic procedures but was bothered by my hooded eyes and so with a degree of anxiety and much research as to who was 'the best', I went for a consultation with Elizabeth. She immediately put me at ease with her thorough explanation of the procedure and all the photographs of before and after and what to expect. I wanted a natural look in that no-one would notice specifically other than 'I looked fresh' and that is exactly what I have got. Im delighted with the results. They take a few weeks to settle down but I recovered quickly, the scars have almost disappeared already and any inbalances I perceived in the first few weeks have also now equalised. I have very natural eyes from a decade or so again and have received many compliments on how 'well' Im looking. My eyes are bright and sparkling again. Thank you and I cannot recommend Elizabeth more highly. Super skilled, listens, and delivers.

Dr Hawkes was really informative at the initial consultation, and made me feel at ease with the procedure. Throughout the entire process from consultation to surgery day, she was extremely professional. I am so pleased with the results and would highly recommend her.

I am thrilled with the results of my upper and lower lid blepharoplasty surgery. Elizabeth was very considerate and understanding of my apprehension; she has an excellent bedside manner and put me totally at ease. The healing process for me was straightforward and pain-free. I could not be happier and more delighted, that I decided to go ahead with the surgery and that through my research, I chose Elizabeth to be my surgeon. I have no hesitation in highly recommending her.

First class surgery, I highly recommend Elizabeth, Many thanks, Nik

I have had the best experience with Elizabeth. My face went from being very tired to very youthful and rested. She explains everything very thoroughly and listens to all your concerns. She is always happy to see you after a few days and make sure everything is on point.

I found Miss Hawkes to be very approachable, kind and very professional. I was able to call or e-Mail if I had any concerns and she would always reply as soon as possible. My recovery from my surgery was longer than I expected, mostly due to severe swelling, but Miss Hawkes reassured me that all the issues would settle in time. Now everything has settled, I am very satisfied with the surgery and would highly recommend Miss Hawkes to anyone considering eye surgery.

As soon as I met Elizabeth I knew I would be looked after and get the results of my upper blepharoplasty I wanted. Her calm approach and advice got the result I wanted with my eyes. They look incredible.

I'm thrilled with my decision to put my trust in Elizabeth Hawkes for my blepharoplasty. From the initial consultation through to the final signoff after my procedure, I felt completely confident. My expectations were managed well and I am over the moon with the results.

I was delighted with the results of my lower blepharoplasty with Ms Hawkes, she explained the procedure clearly and the results I should expect. I felt in very safe hands throughout.

I have researched for a long time to find someone I can trust with my upper eyelid surgery. I chose Elizabeth because she is specialised in eyes only and she is passionate about the health of the eye from the inside as well as the cosmetic part of it. At our first meeting she examined the health of my eye and then talked about the desired result of the upper eyelid surgery. She was very professional and knowledgable. I felt I found the perfect person for the procedure. I wanted a natural result to make me look fresh and younger again and she did a perfect job. I couldn’t be happier and I highly recommend her! I have already recommended her to a friend of mine.

After a number of years researching on upper eyelid blepharoplasty and multiple consultations, I decided to go ahead with the surgery with Dr Elizabeth Hawkes. My eyelids have became heavy due to age and lack of sleep so I had a constant tired look that no expensive cosmetic treatments throughout the years could get rid of. I was not after anything too drastic but I wanted to look more refreshed and get my almond shaped eyes back. Dr Hawkes is very approachable and thorough, she put me at ease with realistic expectations and having seen her previous work and background, I booked myself in for surgery the week after seeing her. It's been only 9 days in but I have not had any discomfort and as the swelling goes down, I can already see her subtle yet effective work. I look younger, have a fresher look overall and most importantly, she's kept my original eye shape. Brilliant work, very pleased with the results.

Elizabeth performed blepharoplasty and a brow lift on me 7 weeks ago at the Cadogan Clinic and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. She has done an exceptional job and I cannot recommend her more highly. She clearly explained the procedure always answering any questions and put my mind at ease pre and post the operation.

I had lower lid blepharoplasty - eye bag removal surgery carried out- revision surgery. I had gone somewhere else last year the end result I was not happy with. After some research I came across Dr Hawkes page and after my consultation I was confident to go ahead with the surgery second time round. I’m extremely happy with the results, it’s been over a week now since my surgery. If you are considering eye surgery if any sort my advice would be to see a specialist in that field only, my previous surgeon was an all rounder!

Dr Hawkes was friendly and professional. During my initial consultation she clearly explained the procedure and I felt confident about having the upper blepharoplasty performed by her. The surgery went well and Dr Hawkes made herself available by text after the procedure. I was therefore able to have any concerns about my healing quickly answered. I am very happy with my post operative results which have exceeded my expectations.

I recently had eye lid surgery performed by Miss Hawkes and I am so pleased with the outcome. My eyes feel so much better I don’t have that feeling of sagging heavy eye lids around my eyes, my eyes look amazing and I finally have eye lids instead of sagging skin. Miss Hawkes was fantastic throughout, from my consultation to my surgery and then finally my aftercare. She clearly explained the procedure to me during my consultation and, whilst carrying out the surgery, kept me updated on what she was doing, made sure I was comfortable and not in pain and made me feel relaxed. The aftercare I have received has been superb. This procedure has made me feel so much better mentally about myself and given me a real boost.
