Comparison

Two approaches to eyelid surgery

You and the surgeon choose together at the consultation, after your lids are examined. The operation may involve the upper lids, the lower lids, or both in one go, and the incision is placed differently depending on the approach.

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

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.

The surgeon uses the consultation to build a plan for your case, explaining each step as they go.

Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Process

From your first message to recovery: the steps

You will know what comes next at every point, because each stage is explained in advance and you know who to ask.

Online consultation and plan

After you send photos, you speak with the surgeon online. What you want is discussed together, and the surgeon sketches out a plan for either upper lids, lower lids, or both.

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

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.

The first hours and days

Normal after surgery are swelling and bruising around the eyes. Cold compresses help, as does sleeping with the head raised, and staying overnight is decided case by case.

Recovery and follow-up

Swelling settles over the first couple of weeks, and stitches, if not dissolving, are usually removed within the first week. The surgeon schedules follow-up checks, while the final contour settles over several months.

The consultation is where the surgeon explains to you how your own operation would go.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about eyelid surgery

How eyelid surgery works for patients in Lyon

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 Lyon 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.

From Lyon 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.

You do not have to commit to anything to ask questions. Patients in Lyon can message a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp at any time, and the first consultation is free. After the surgeon has examined your details and confirmed the plan, you are told the price, and only then do you decide whether to book.
