Comparison

Two approaches to eyelid surgery

You can have blepharoplasty on the upper lids, the lower lids, or both in one operation. What differs between approaches is where the incision goes. The surgeon helps you decide at the consultation, once your lids have been examined.

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

Because the extent of surgery and the recovery depend on the individual patient, the methods are described generally here. The surgeon confirms both for your case after examining you.

At the consultation the surgeon explains every step and puts together a plan for your case.

Photos go to a coordinator by Telegram or WhatsApp, then the surgeon reviews them and gives you an opinion. Sending them does not commit you to an operation.

Pre-operative preparation and tests

Standard tests, photographs and an eye assessment are done, and the surgeon reviews your medical history and medicines. On the surgeon's instructions alone are blood-thinning medicines and supplements stopped, and you should stop smoking as advised.

The operation

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

The first hours and days

It is normal to have swelling and bruising around the eyes. Cold compresses and sleeping with your head raised help, and an overnight stay is decided individually.

Recovery and follow-up

Several months are needed for the final contour to settle, while swelling settles over the first couple of weeks. The surgeon schedules follow-up checks, and stitches, if not dissolving, are usually removed within the first week.

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

Your path to eyelid surgery in Dortmund, step by step

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure on the eyelids. The surgeon takes away excess skin and, where needed, repositions or removes small amounts of fat. For lower lids, the cut is made just below the lash line, or inside the lid when the problem is mainly fat. Patients in Dortmund can have this explained in detail before deciding.

Before any decision, the surgeon reviews your photographs and medical history. Patients in Dortmund take part in a free online consultation, and the plan is written for you individually. Preparation includes a review of your medicines, an eye assessment and standard tests. Blood-thinning medicines and supplements are stopped only on the surgeon's instructions.

Booking comes last, not first. Begin by messaging a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp from Dortmund, then have the free online consultation. The surgeon examines your photographs, confirms the plan and tells you the price. Only after that do you decide whether to go ahead, and coordinators remain available 24/7.
