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

Only general terms are used to describe the methods. Both the extent of surgery and recovery differ between patients; the surgeon confirms them for you following an examination.

The surgeon prepares a plan for your case at the consultation and explains every step.

Pre-operative preparation and tests

The surgeon looks at your medical history and medicines, then an eye assessment, photographs and standard tests are carried out. Blood-thinning medicines and supplements are stopped only when the surgeon says so, and you should stop smoking 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

Around the eyes, swelling and bruising are to be expected. You can ease them with cold compresses and by sleeping with the head raised, and the surgeon decides individually whether you stay overnight.

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.

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 Frankfurt am Main, step by step

It helps to be clear about what eyelid surgery does not do. It does not lift the eyebrows or cheeks, remove dark circles caused by pigmentation or erase fine wrinkles. What it does is treat excess skin and fat of the lids. Anyone in Frankfurt am Main thinking about it should discuss these limits with the surgeon first.

Before any decision, the surgeon reviews your photographs and medical history. Patients in Frankfurt am Main 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 Frankfurt am Main, 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.
