Comparison

Two approaches to eyelid surgery

Blepharoplasty may be carried out on the upper lids, the lower lids, or both at once. The approaches are distinguished by the position of the incision. At the consultation the surgeon examines your lids 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.

In the consultation, the surgeon sets out a plan for your case and describes every step.

Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Process

From your first message to recovery: the steps

The steps are explained to you before they happen, so you know what is next and whom to contact.

Online consultation and plan

In an online conversation, with your photos to hand, you and the surgeon discuss what you want. The surgeon then outlines a plan for the upper lids, lower lids, or both.

Pre-operative preparation and tests

As part of preparation, your medicines and medical history are reviewed, and you have an eye assessment, photographs and standard tests. Stopping blood-thinning medicines and supplements happens only on the surgeon's instructions, while smoking should be stopped as advised.

The operation

Anaesthesia is either local with sedation or general, and the surgeon and anaesthetist choose which. In the operation, the surgeon removes excess skin and, where needed, moves or removes small amounts of fat.

The first hours and days

Some swelling and bruising around the eyes is normal. Help comes from cold compresses and sleeping with the head raised, while an overnight stay depends on the individual.

Recovery and follow-up

Within the first couple of weeks, swelling settles. If stitches are not dissolving, they are usually removed within the first week, and the surgeon arranges follow-up checks while the final contour develops over several months.

You will learn from the surgeon, at the consultation, how the operation would run in your case.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about eyelid surgery

What to know about blepharoplasty in Bologna

It helps to be clear about what eyelid surgery does not do. It does not lift the eyebrows or cheeks, remove dark circles caused by pigmentation or erase fine wrinkles. What it does is treat excess skin and fat of the lids. Anyone in Bologna thinking about it should discuss these limits with the surgeon first.

There is no need to arrange anything in person at the start. From Bologna, you have a video or message conversation and send clear photos of your eyes and face. The surgeon uses them to outline the operation, the anaesthesia and the recovery. Contact lenses and eye make-up are avoided for a couple of weeks after surgery.

Step one is a message. Choose Telegram or WhatsApp, write to a coordinator and arrange your free online consultation. Anyone in Bologna can do this in a few minutes. The surgeon then reviews the photos and confirms the plan and the price, and you book only once both are clear to you.
