Comparison

Two approaches to eyelid surgery

Blepharoplasty may be carried out on the upper lids, the lower lids, or both at once. The approaches are distinguished by the position of the incision. At the consultation the surgeon examines your lids 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

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

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.

The surgeon prepares a plan for your case at the consultation and explains every step.

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.

The first hours and days

You should expect swelling and bruising around the eyes, which are normal. Using cold compresses and keeping the head raised in bed help, and whether you stay overnight is an individual decision.

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.

During the consultation, the surgeon walks you through how the operation would proceed for you.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about eyelid surgery

Preparation and recovery after blepharoplasty in Milan

Some people choose eyelid surgery because skin folds on the upper lids rest on the lashes and make the eyes look smaller or narrow the upper field of vision. Others are bothered by under-eye puffiness. If you live in Milan, the surgeon can look at your photographs and tell you which lids would be treated and how.

Before any decision, the surgeon reviews your photographs and medical history. Patients in Milan take part in a free online consultation, and the plan is written for you individually. Preparation includes a review of your medicines, an eye assessment and standard tests. Blood-thinning medicines and supplements are stopped only on the surgeon's instructions.

Open Telegram or WhatsApp and tell the coordinator you are interested in eyelid surgery. Coordinators are available 24/7 for people in Milan. You will be asked for a few photographs, and the surgeon will look at them. The first consultation is free, and the price is confirmed only after that assessment.
