Cathedral Dermatology is celebrating a major achievement after its blepharoplasty service was named the winner of the Beauty and Aesthetics Award at the GNI Magazine Awards on Saturday evening.
The award recognises the clinic’s commitment to delivering high standards of surgical care, combining specialist expertise, personalised treatment and a patient-centred approach to eyelid surgery.
Based in Belfast, Cathedral Dermatology provides consultant-led plastic surgery services, welcoming patients from across Northern Ireland and beyond. Its blepharoplasty service has become an important part of its offering, helping patients address concerns associated with excess eyelid skin, drooping eyelids and under-eye bags.
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a procedure designed to remove excess skin and, where appropriate, address underlying tissue around the eyelids. While many patients seek treatment to achieve a fresher, more refreshed appearance, the procedure can also offer functional benefits. In cases where sagging upper eyelid skin obstructs the upper field of vision, surgery may help improve visual function.
Cathedral Dermatology’s service is delivered by a team of experienced Consultant Plastic Surgeons, including Mr Michael McBride, Mr Nicholas Hodgins and Mr Jamie Clements. With more than 20 years of combined experience and thousands of procedures completed, the surgical team brings extensive expertise across aesthetic and reconstructive surgery.
Patient safety, comfort and individualised care remain central to the treatment journey. Every patient begins with a consultation directly with a Consultant Plastic Surgeon, allowing their concerns, expectations and suitability for surgery to be carefully assessed before an appropriate treatment plan is recommended.
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is performed under local anaesthetic, with incisions carefully positioned within the natural crease of the eyelid to minimise visible scarring once healed. Most patients return to light activities typically within seven to ten days. Patients also receive dedicated post-operative support as they progress through recovery.
The clinic’s approach extends beyond the surgical procedure itself, with its collaborative dermatology and plastic surgery teams working together to provide comprehensive care. Treatment plans are tailored to individual needs, with an emphasis on natural-looking results that complement each patient’s facial features.
From the team at Cathedral Dermatology, we are incredibly proud to receive this recognition at the GNI Magazine Awards. It is a fantastic achievement for our plastic surgery team and everyone involved in delivering our blepharoplasty service. We remain committed to providing patients with expert surgical care, prioritising safety, comfort and the highest standards throughout their treatment journey.
The award marks an exciting milestone for Cathedral Dermatology as it continues to develop its plastic surgery services and provide access to specialist care in Belfast.
