We speak to leading ENT head and neck surgeon Mr Andrew Moore, who helps guide you through what a neck lump might mean, what symptoms to look out for, and when to seek medical advice.

Blepharoplasty: what is the purpose?

Blepharoplasty, often referred to as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure aimed at improving the look of the eyelids. This surgery can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the needs of the patient. People often seek blepharoplasty to reduce signs of ageing, such as drooping upper eyelids or puffiness below the eyes, which may make them look tired or older than they feel. Additionally, some individuals pursue this surgery to improve their vision, as sagging upper eyelids can sometimes obstruct the field of view. We speak to a leading consultant ENT surgeon, who explains what happens during the procedure, the recovery process and potential risks.

How serious is salivary gland surgery?

Salivary gland surgery, though commonly performed, is a significant procedure due to the complexity of the anatomy in and around the salivary glands. It involves removing part or all of one of the three major salivary glands (parotid, submandibular, or sublingual) or smaller minor glands. The seriousness of this surgery depends on several factors, including the type of condition being treated, the gland involved and the potential risks. Professor Stuart Winter, leading ENT surgeon, tells us all about it in this article.
