The operation can treat the upper eyelids, the lower eyelids, or both together in a single operation. Approaches differ in the position of the incision. The surgeon examines your lids at the consultation and helps you choose.

Lower blepharoplasty

This is a general description of the methods. Both the extent of surgery and the recovery vary from patient to patient, and the surgeon confirms them for your case after an examination.
The surgeon prepares a plan for your case at the consultation and explains every step.
Should your concern be solvable without surgery, the surgeon will say so honestly. Surgery is considered only if it suits your health and goals.

Not sure which column applies to you?
Using Telegram or WhatsApp, send a coordinator your photos. The surgeon studies them and gives an opinion, and the decision about surgery stays entirely with you.
Every stage is explained beforehand, so you know what follows and whom to ask.
1
Online consultation and plan
You send photos and talk with the surgeon online. Together you discuss what you want, and the surgeon outlines a plan for the upper lids, lower lids, or both.
2
Choosing and booking the date
When the plan and the price have been confirmed, you pick a date that suits you. A coordinator can answer questions and help with arrangements at any hour.
3
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.
4
The operation
The operation takes place under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, whichever the surgeon and anaesthetist select. Excess skin is removed by the surgeon, along with a repositioning or removal of small amounts of fat where needed.
5
The first hours and days
The eyes may swell and bruise, and this is normal. Compresses that are cold and a raised head while sleeping help, and an overnight stay is decided on an individual basis.
6
Recovery and follow-up
The surgeon schedules follow-up checks. Swelling settles over the first couple of weeks, non-dissolving stitches are usually removed within the first week, and the final contour takes several months to settle.
The consultation is where the surgeon explains to you how your own operation would go.
Photos and a message to a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp begin the process. You pay nothing for the first consultation and are not obliged to proceed; the surgeon reviews your case and outlines a plan online.
Surgery involves removing excess skin, repositioning or removing small amounts of fat where needed, and sometimes tightening muscle. Local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia is chosen by the surgeon and anaesthetist.
Swelling and bruising around the eyes are a normal part of healing and settle over the first couple of weeks. Desk work is something many people resume after one to two weeks. Avoiding contact lenses, eye make-up, strenuous exercise and heavy lifting is part of the advice, and recovery is individual.
The scar of an upper blepharoplasty is hidden when the eye is open, because the incision lies in the natural eyelid crease. For the lower lids, the incision is either just below the lash line or inside the lid, leaving no skin incision.
The surgeon explains risks before surgery: temporary dryness or irritation of the eyes, bruising, asymmetry, infection and scarring. Rarely, there may be changes in vision or difficulty closing the eyes fully.
Surgery may be unsuitable, or something may need to be cleared first, in cases of pregnancy, being under 18, clotting disorders, severe dry-eye disease, active infection, unstable thyroid eye disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure or diabetes, or serious heart or lung disease.
The operation does not lift the eyebrows or cheeks, remove pigmentation dark circles, or erase fine wrinkles. Its final contour settles over several months, and the result is long-lasting, but natural ageing continues.
What you need, whether upper, lower or both lids, and the anaesthesia chosen, shape it. The surgeon assesses you first; the price is then confirmed, before you book.
Upper, lower or combined: choosing your operation in Bochum
Some people choose eyelid surgery because skin folds on the upper lids rest on the lashes and make the eyes look smaller or narrow the upper field of vision. Others are bothered by under-eye puffiness. If you live in Bochum, the surgeon can look at your photographs and tell you which lids would be treated and how.
The process begins with a free online consultation. You send photographs and talk with us from Bochum, and the surgeon then examines the information and prepares an individual plan. Anaesthesia is chosen by the surgeon and anaesthetist according to the extent of surgery. Swelling and bruising around the eyes are normal and settle over the first couple of weeks.
If you have been thinking about eyelid surgery in Bochum, the easiest next step is to contact a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp. They respond 24/7. The first consultation is free of charge. Price is not quoted in advance; the surgeon confirms it after assessing you and before any booking.
