Both the upper and the lower lids can be treated in one operation, or just one pair. The incision is placed in different places depending on the approach. The surgeon will help you choose after examining your lids at the consultation.
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
These are general descriptions of the methods. The surgeon examines you and then confirms the extent of surgery and the recovery for your case, as both depend on the individual.
The surgeon uses the consultation to build a plan for your case, explaining each step as they go.
Where surgery is unnecessary for your concern, the surgeon will tell you honestly. Surgery is considered only when it is right for your health and goals.

Not sure which column applies to you?
The first step is to send photos to a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp. The surgeon reviews them and tells you what they think, with no commitment to surgery.
Before each stage begins, it is explained to you, so you always know the next step and who to turn to.
1
Online consultation and plan
Online, you share photos and speak with the surgeon. Your wishes are discussed together, and a plan is outlined for the upper eyelids, the lower eyelids, or both.
2
Choosing and booking the date
You choose a convenient date after the plan and price are confirmed. At any hour, a coordinator is there to answer your questions and help with arrangements.
3
Pre-operative preparation and tests
Preparation covers a review of your history and medicines by the surgeon, an eye assessment, photographs and standard tests. The surgeon alone instructs when blood-thinning medicines and supplements are stopped, and smoking should stop as advised.
4
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.
5
The first hours and days
Swelling and bruising around the eyes are normal. Cold compresses and sleeping with the head raised help, and whether you stay overnight is decided individually.
6
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.
Your surgeon talks you through the operation as it applies to you during the consultation.
Message a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp and send a few photos. The first consultation is free and without obligation, and the surgeon will review your case and outline a plan online.
Skin that is in excess is removed by the surgeon, who, where needed, also repositions or removes small amounts of fat and sometimes tightens muscle. Your anaesthesia, local with sedation or general, is chosen by the surgeon and anaesthetist.
Swelling and bruising around the eyes are a normal part of healing and settle over the first couple of weeks. Desk work is something many people resume after one to two weeks. Avoiding contact lenses, eye make-up, strenuous exercise and heavy lifting is part of the advice, and recovery is individual.
The natural eyelid crease is where the incision goes in upper blepharoplasty, hiding the scar when the eye is open. For the lower lids, the incision sits just below the lash line, or inside the lid with no incision in the skin.
Before surgery, the surgeon explains the risks: temporary dryness or irritation of the eyes, bruising, asymmetry, infection and scarring. Changes in vision or difficulty closing the eyes fully occur rarely.
Surgery may be unsuitable, or need clearing first, with uncontrolled high blood pressure or diabetes, clotting disorders, severe dry-eye disease, active infection, unstable thyroid eye disease, serious heart or lung disease, pregnancy, or under 18.
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.
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.
Upper, lower or combined: choosing your operation in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
Who considers blepharoplasty? Usually people whose upper lids look heavy or droop, whose lower lids show puffiness, or whose lower-lid skin has loosened. If you are in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and one of these describes you, the surgeon can explain what the operation can change. It is eyelid surgery only, and the plan is made individually.
There is no need to arrange anything in person at the start. From Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, you have a video or message conversation and send clear photos of your eyes and face. The surgeon uses them to outline the operation, the anaesthesia and the recovery. Contact lenses and eye make-up are avoided for a couple of weeks after surgery.
Our coordinators work 24/7 on Telegram and WhatsApp, so a question from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria 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.
