Comparison

Two approaches to eyelid surgery

In blepharoplasty, one operation may cover the upper eyelids, the lower eyelids, or both. Approaches vary by incision placement. The choice is made with the surgeon at the consultation, after your lids are 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

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.

At the consultation the surgeon builds a plan for your case and explains each step.

Pre-operative preparation and tests

Your medical history and medicines are reviewed by the surgeon, and you have an eye assessment, photographs and standard tests. Blood-thinning medicines and supplements are only stopped on the surgeon's instructions, and you should stop smoking as advised.

The operation

Either local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia is used, as chosen by the surgeon and anaesthetist. The surgeon takes away excess skin and, where needed, repositions or removes small amounts of fat.

The first hours and days

You should expect swelling and bruising around the eyes, which are normal. Using cold compresses and keeping the head raised in bed help, and whether you stay overnight is an individual decision.

Recovery and follow-up

The surgeon schedules follow-up checks. Swelling settles over the first couple of weeks, non-dissolving stitches are usually removed within the first week, and the final contour takes several months to settle.

During the consultation, the surgeon walks you through how the operation would proceed for you.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about eyelid surgery

How eyelid surgery works for patients in Florence

Upper blepharoplasty places the incision in the natural eyelid crease, so the scar is hidden when the eye is open. Many people in Florence 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.

From Florence you can do the first step entirely online: photographs, a conversation and your questions. The surgeon confirms which lids should be treated and how. Local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia is chosen individually, and an overnight stay is decided case by case. Recovery is gradual, and the final contour settles over several months.

Our coordinators work 24/7 on Telegram and WhatsApp, so a question from Florence never has to wait for office hours. Send your photographs, take part in the free first consultation and hear the surgeon's view. The price is confirmed after the surgeon's assessment, before you book.
