Comparison

Two approaches to eyelid surgery

You and the surgeon choose together at the consultation, after your lids are examined. The operation may involve the upper lids, the lower lids, or both in one go, and the incision is placed differently depending on the approach.

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

What is written here about the methods is general. Extent of surgery and recovery are individual, and after examining you the surgeon confirms both for your case.

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

Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Blepharoplasty is not for everyone

Not sure which column applies to you?

You send photos to a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp, and the surgeon reviews them. The opinion you receive carries no commitment to surgery.

Process

From your first message to recovery: the steps

You are told about each stage in advance, which means you know what comes next and who can answer your questions.

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.

Choosing and booking the date

Once you have the confirmed plan and price, you decide on a date that fits you. Whatever the hour, a coordinator can answer questions and help with arrangements.

Pre-operative preparation and tests

The surgeon reviews your medical history and medicines, and an eye assessment, photographs and standard tests are done. Blood-thinning medicines and supplements are stopped only on the surgeon's instructions, and smoking should be stopped as advised.

The operation

Surgery is done under local anaesthesia with sedation or under general anaesthesia, chosen by the surgeon and anaesthetist. The surgeon removes excess skin and, where needed, repositions 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

Over the first couple of weeks the swelling settles, and stitches that do not dissolve are usually taken out within the first week. Follow-up checks are scheduled by the surgeon, and the final contour settles over several months.

How the operation goes in your case is something the surgeon explains at the consultation.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about eyelid surgery

What to know about blepharoplasty in Cologne

Who considers blepharoplasty? Usually people whose upper lids look heavy or droop, whose lower lids show puffiness, or whose lower-lid skin has loosened. If you are in Cologne and one of these describes you, the surgeon can explain what the operation can change. It is eyelid surgery only, and the plan is made individually.

The online consultation is where the plan takes shape. Patients in Cologne describe what bothers them, the surgeon looks at the photos and explains what eyelid surgery can and cannot do. Anaesthesia and any overnight stay are decided individually. Afterwards, sunglasses and sun protection are part of normal recovery, and the scar in the upper-lid crease fades.

Starting is simple: send a message on Telegram or WhatsApp and a coordinator will reply, day or night. If you are in Cologne, the first online consultation costs nothing. The price is never fixed in advance; it is confirmed after the surgeon's assessment and before you book.
