Comparison

Two approaches to eyelid surgery

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.

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

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.

Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

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

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.

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.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about eyelid surgery

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.
