Best suited when
There is puffiness, or loose skin under the eyes
Approach
Inside-the-lid approach has no skin incision, for fat

The surgeon will say honestly whether your concern can be solved without surgery, and will consider an operation only if it suits your health and goals.

Not sure which column applies to you?
A coordinator receives your photos in Telegram or WhatsApp and passes them to the surgeon. The surgeon gives an opinion, and you are under no obligation to have surgery.
Ahead of every stage you receive an explanation, so the next step is clear and you know who to ask.
1
Online consultation and plan
You send photos and talk with the surgeon online. Together you discuss what you want, and the surgeon outlines a plan for the upper lids, lower lids, or both.
2
Choosing and booking the date
After the plan and price are settled, you choose a suitable date, and a coordinator stays available at any hour to answer questions and assist with arrangements.
3
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.
4
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.
5
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.
6
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.
Based on your features, the surgeon proposes upper, lower or combined surgery once your case has been examined. No option comes by default.
Clear explanations before you decide
Plain explanations of recovery, the limits of the operation and possible risks come before any decision on your part, and questions are welcome without limit.
A free first consultation, no obligation
Photos by messenger and an online conversation are available to you at no cost, and they do not bind you to surgery.
Coordinators who reply 24/7
Whatever the hour, a coordinator answers on Telegram and WhatsApp. Your online consultation is arranged to fit your schedule.
The price is confirmed before booking
After the surgeon has assessed your case, you receive the confirmed price before you book. There are no surprises later.

Start by messaging a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp, along with a few photos. The surgeon then reviews your case and outlines a plan online, in a first consultation that is free and non-binding.
The surgeon takes out excess skin, and where needed moves or removes small amounts of fat, with muscle sometimes tightened. Local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia is selected by the surgeon together with the anaesthetist.
Normal swelling and bruising settle over the first couple of weeks. After one to two weeks, many people can return to desk work. Please avoid contact lenses, eye make-up, strenuous exercise and heavy lifting as you are advised, bearing in mind that recovery is individual.
When the upper lids are treated, the incision lies in the natural eyelid crease and the scar is hidden with the eye open. When the lower lids are treated, it lies just below the lash line or inside the lid, without a skin incision.
Risks are discussed by the surgeon before surgery, among them temporary dryness or irritation of the eyes, bruising, asymmetry, infection and scarring. Rarely, a change in vision or difficulty closing the eyes fully may occur.
Uncontrolled high blood pressure or diabetes, clotting disorders, severe dry-eye disease, active infection, unstable thyroid eye disease, serious heart or lung disease, pregnancy and an age under 18 can mean that surgery is unsuitable or needs clearing first.
It takes several months for the final contour to settle. The result is long-lasting, although natural ageing carries on. The operation does not lift the eyebrows or cheeks, remove dark circles caused by pigmentation, or erase fine wrinkles.
Upper, lower or both lids, together with the choice of anaesthesia, determine it. After the surgeon has assessed you, and before you book, the price is confirmed.
