The operation can treat the upper eyelids, the lower eyelids, or both together in a single operation. Approaches differ in the position of the incision. The surgeon examines your lids at the consultation and 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
Please treat the description of the methods as general. Surgery extent and recovery are individual to each patient, and your surgeon confirms both after examining you.
In the consultation, the surgeon sets out a plan for your case and describes every step.
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.

Heavy or drooping upper eyelids
Eyes that look tired or smaller than you feel

Narrowed upper field of vision from skin folds

Share your photos with a coordinator via Telegram or WhatsApp. After the surgeon has reviewed them, you receive an opinion, and nothing requires you to proceed to an operation.
Explanations come before each stage, so that you know what to expect next and who to ask about it.
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
Once the plan and the price are confirmed, you choose a date that suits you. A coordinator is available at any hour to answer questions and help with arrangements.
3
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.
4
The operation
The surgeon and anaesthetist decide whether you have local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia. The surgeon then removes excess skin and, if needed, repositions or removes small amounts of fat.
5
The first hours and days
It is normal to have swelling and bruising around the eyes. Cold compresses and sleeping with your head raised help, and an overnight stay is decided 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.
The consultation is where the surgeon explains to you how your own operation would go.
Your features guide the surgeon's proposal of upper, lower or combined surgery, made after an examination. Nothing is offered by default.
Clear explanations before you decide
The surgeon explains recovery, the limits of the operation and the possible risks plainly, ahead of any decision. You may ask as many questions as you need.
A free first consultation, no obligation
You can send photos by messenger and talk with us online at no cost. The consultation does not commit you to surgery.
Coordinators who reply 24/7

The price is confirmed before booking
The price is confirmed once your case has been assessed by the surgeon, and you have it before you book. There are no later surprises.

Send a few photos with a message to a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp. Your first consultation costs nothing and obliges you to nothing, and the surgeon will look at your case and sketch a plan online.
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.
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.
With the eye open, the scar from upper blepharoplasty is hidden, as the incision follows the natural eyelid crease. Incisions for the lower lids lie just below the lash line, or inside the lid where no skin incision is needed.
Ahead of the operation the surgeon goes through the risks with you. These are temporary dryness or irritation of the eyes, bruising, asymmetry, infection and scarring; rarely, vision may change or the eyes may not close fully with ease.
A number of situations can make surgery unsuitable or call for clearing first. They are 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 age 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.
It depends on the extent of surgery you need, such as upper, lower or both lids, and on the anaesthesia chosen. The price is confirmed after the surgeon's assessment, before you book.
Preparation and recovery after blepharoplasty in Leipzig
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 Leipzig thinking about it should discuss these limits with the surgeon first.
From Leipzig 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.
Booking comes last, not first. Begin by messaging a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp from Leipzig, 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.
