Comparison

Two approaches to eyelid surgery

Surgery may involve the upper eyelids, the lower eyelids, or both in one operation, and the approaches differ in where the incision is made. 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

These are general descriptions of the methods. The surgeon examines you and then confirms the extent of surgery and the recovery for your case, as both depend on the individual.

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

Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Pre-operative preparation and tests

Preparation includes the surgeon's review of your medical history and medicines, an eye assessment, photographs and standard tests. Stop blood-thinning medicines and supplements only if the surgeon tells you to, and give up smoking as advised.

The operation

During surgery, you receive local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, as chosen by the surgeon and anaesthetist. Excess skin is removed, and small amounts of fat are repositioned or removed 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

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.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about eyelid surgery

Upper, lower or combined: choosing your operation in Dresden

Blepharoplasty is eyelid surgery. The surgeon removes excess skin and, where needed, repositions or removes small amounts of fat in the upper lids, the lower lids or both. People in Dresden usually consider it for heavy, drooping upper lids, puffiness under the eyes or loose lower-lid skin, and the approach is decided after an examination.

After the operation, cold compresses and sleeping with the head raised help with swelling. Stitches that do not dissolve are usually removed within the first week. Many people return to desk work after one to two weeks, though recovery is individual. Everything starts with an online conversation for patients in Dresden, and the surgeon explains each step.

Step one is a message. Choose Telegram or WhatsApp, write to a coordinator and arrange your free online consultation. Anyone in Dresden 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.
