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
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
This is a general description of the methods. Both the extent of surgery and the recovery vary from patient to patient, and the surgeon confirms them for your case after an examination.
During the consultation, the surgeon works out a plan for your case and explains each stage.
The surgeon will honestly tell you if your concern can be solved without an operation. An operation is considered only when it fits your health and goals.
Suitable
Heavy or drooping upper eyelids
Eyes that look tired or smaller than you feel
Skin folds resting on the lashes
Narrowed upper field of vision from skin folds
Puffiness or bags under the eyes
Loose skin of the lower eyelids
A wish for a calmer, more rested look
Not suitable
Uncontrolled high blood pressure or diabetes
Blood clotting disorders
Severe dry-eye disease
Active eye or skin infection
Unstable thyroid eye disease
Serious heart or lung disease
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or under 18
Not sure which column applies to you?
Photos go to a coordinator by Telegram or WhatsApp, then the surgeon reviews them and gives you an opinion. Sending them does not commit you to an operation.
Each stage is explained in advance, so you know what comes next and who to ask.
1
Online consultation and plan
You send photos and have an online conversation with the surgeon. You talk through what you want, and the surgeon sets out a plan for the upper lids, the lower lids, or both.
2
Choosing and booking the date
After confirmation of the plan and the price, the date is yours to choose. Coordinators are available around the clock for questions and help with arrangements.
3
Pre-operative preparation and tests
You will have your medical history and medicines reviewed, along with an eye assessment, photographs and standard tests. Do not stop blood-thinning medicines or supplements unless the surgeon instructs you, and stop smoking as advised.
4
The operation
The surgeon and anaesthetist choose between local anaesthesia with sedation and general anaesthesia. During the operation, excess skin is removed and, where needed, small amounts of fat are repositioned or removed.
5
The first hours and days
Normal swelling and bruising appear around the eyes. To help, use cold compresses and sleep with the head raised; whether you remain overnight is decided for each person individually.
6
Recovery and follow-up
The final contour settles over several months, though swelling settles over the first couple of weeks. Non-dissolving stitches are usually removed within the first week, and the surgeon schedules follow-up checks.
At your consultation, the surgeon sets out the steps of the operation as they apply to you.
Photos and a message to a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp begin the process. You pay nothing for the first consultation and are not obliged to proceed; the surgeon reviews your case and outlines a plan online.
The surgeon and anaesthetist decide whether anaesthesia is local with sedation or general. In the operation, excess skin is removed, small amounts of fat are repositioned or removed where needed, and muscle is sometimes tightened.
The first couple of weeks bring normal swelling and bruising that then settle. Many people manage a return to desk work after one to two weeks. You should avoid contact lenses, eye make-up, strenuous exercise and heavy lifting as advised, and your own recovery may differ.
Hidden scarring is possible in the upper lid because the incision is placed in the natural crease and is concealed when the eye is open. The lower lid incision is made just below the lash line, or inside the lid so that no skin incision is made.
The risks are explained by the surgeon before surgery. They include temporary dryness or irritation of the eyes, bruising, asymmetry, infection and scarring, and, rarely, changes in vision or difficulty closing the eyes fully.
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.
The operation does not lift the eyebrows or cheeks, remove pigmentation dark circles, or erase fine wrinkles. Its final contour settles over several months, and the result is long-lasting, but natural ageing continues.
The extent of surgery you need, whether upper, lower or both lids, and the anaesthesia chosen, both play a part. You will have the price confirmed after the surgeon's assessment and before you book.
Blepharoplasty in Genoa: from first photos to confirmed plan
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 Genoa thinking about it should discuss these limits with the surgeon first.
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 Genoa, and the surgeon explains each step.
Booking comes last, not first. Begin by messaging a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp from Genoa, 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.
