Comparison

Two approaches to eyelid surgery

There are options to treat only the upper lids, only the lower lids, or both in one operation. Where the incision is placed depends on the approach. The surgeon helps you choose at the consultation after an examination of your lids.

Upper blepharoplasty

Incision in the natural eyelid crease

Price at consultation

Main goal
Remove excess skin of the upper lids
Best suited when
Lids feel heavy, or skin folds rest on the lashes
Approach
Scar is hidden in the crease when the eye is open

Lower blepharoplasty

Incision below the lash line or inside the lid

Schematic of a lower eyelid with the incision line just under the lashes

Price at consultation

Main goal
Treat under-eye bags and loose lower-lid skin
Best suited when
There is puffiness, or loose skin under the eyes
Approach
Inside-the-lid approach has no skin incision, for fat

Only general terms are used to describe the methods. Both the extent of surgery and recovery differ between patients; the surgeon confirms them for you following an examination.

Each step is explained by the surgeon, who builds a plan for your case at the consultation.

Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Not sure which column applies to you?

Photos can be sent to a coordinator through Telegram or WhatsApp. The surgeon looks at them and offers an opinion, and you are not committing to surgery by doing so.

Process

From your first message to recovery: the steps

Ahead of every stage you receive an explanation, so the next step is clear and you know who to ask.

1

Online consultation and plan

You send photos and have an online conversation with the surgeon. You talk through what you want, and the surgeon sets out a plan for the upper lids, the lower lids, or both.

Choosing and booking the date

After the plan and price are settled, you choose a suitable date, and a coordinator stays available at any hour to answer questions and assist with arrangements.

Pre-operative preparation and tests

Preparation covers a review of your history and medicines by the surgeon, an eye assessment, photographs and standard tests. The surgeon alone instructs when blood-thinning medicines and supplements are stopped, and smoking should stop as advised.

The operation

Local anaesthesia with sedation, or general anaesthesia, is used for the operation; the surgeon and anaesthetist make the choice. The surgeon takes out excess skin and, where needed, repositions or takes out small amounts of fat.

The first hours and days

Cold compresses and sleeping with the head raised help with the swelling and bruising around the eyes, which are normal. Whether you need to stay overnight is decided individually.

Recovery and follow-up

The final contour settles over several months, though swelling settles over the first couple of weeks. Non-dissolving stitches are usually removed within the first week, and the surgeon schedules follow-up checks.

The surgeon will describe, at the consultation, the way the operation would be carried out in your case.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about eyelid surgery

What to know about blepharoplasty in Bielefeld

When the upper eyelids grow heavy, the eyes can look tired or smaller, and a fold of skin resting on the lashes may narrow the upper field of vision. If you live in Bielefeld and recognise this, eyelid surgery may be worth discussing. The surgeon removes excess skin and sometimes a little fat, and in some cases tightens muscle.

Your first consultation is online and free of charge. If you are in Bielefeld, you send photos, answer questions about your health and discuss what you would like to change. The surgeon then proposes a plan, including whether upper lids, lower lids or both are involved, and explains the anaesthesia options and the likely course of recovery.

Our coordinators work 24/7 on Telegram and WhatsApp, so a question from Bielefeld never has to wait for office hours. Send your photographs, take part in the free first consultation and hear the surgeon's view. The price is confirmed after the surgeon's assessment, before you book.
