Comparison

Two approaches to eyelid surgery

Upper lids, lower lids or both can be treated in one operation. The incision is placed differently depending on the approach. After examining your lids at the consultation, the surgeon 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

Please treat the description of the methods as general. Surgery extent and recovery are individual to each patient, and your surgeon confirms both after examining you.

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

Pre-operative preparation and tests

The surgeon goes through your medical history and medicines with you. An eye assessment, photographs and standard tests follow, and 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.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about eyelid surgery

Your path to eyelid surgery in Essen, step by step

Upper blepharoplasty places the incision in the natural eyelid crease, so the scar is hidden when the eye is open. Many people in Essen look into it because of excess upper-lid skin. Lower-lid surgery is a separate part of the same procedure family, and the surgeon decides which lids need treatment after examining you.

Your first consultation is online and free of charge. If you are in Essen, you send photos, answer questions about your health and discuss what you would like to change. The surgeon then proposes a plan, including whether upper lids, lower lids or both are involved, and explains the anaesthesia options and the likely course of recovery.

To start, write to a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp. Coordinators answer 24/7, so you can message from Essen at any hour. The first consultation is free. The surgeon examines your photographs and confirms the plan and the price before you book, so nothing is decided in advance.
