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
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
The methods are outlined in general terms only, since the extent of surgery and the recovery depend on the patient. After examining you, the surgeon confirms both for your case.
At the consultation the surgeon builds a plan for your case and explains each step.
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.

Skin folds resting on the lashes
Narrowed upper field of vision from skin folds

Not suitable
Uncontrolled high blood pressure or diabetes
Blood clotting disorders
Severe dry-eye disease
Active eye or skin infection
Unstable thyroid eye disease

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.
You will know what comes next at every point, because each stage is explained in advance and you know who to ask.
1
Online consultation and plan
You send photos and talk with the surgeon online. Together you discuss what you want, and the surgeon outlines a plan for the upper lids, lower lids, or both.
2
Choosing and booking the date
After the plan and price are settled, you choose a suitable date, and a coordinator stays available at any hour to answer questions and assist with arrangements.
3
Pre-operative preparation and tests
As part of preparation, your medicines and medical history are reviewed, and you have an eye assessment, photographs and standard tests. Stopping blood-thinning medicines and supplements happens only on the surgeon's instructions, while smoking should be stopped 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
The eyes may swell and bruise, and this is normal. Compresses that are cold and a raised head while sleeping help, and an overnight stay is decided on an individual basis.
6
Recovery and follow-up
Stitches, if they do not dissolve, are usually removed within the first week, and swelling settles over the first couple of weeks. You have follow-up checks with the surgeon, and the final contour settles over several months.
The surgeon uses the consultation to explain the course of the operation in your particular case.
Start by messaging a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp, along with a few photos. The surgeon then reviews your case and outlines a plan online, in a first consultation that is free and non-binding.
Where needed, the surgeon repositions or removes small amounts of fat as well as removing excess skin, and sometimes tightens muscle. The choice between local anaesthesia with sedation and general anaesthesia rests with the surgeon and anaesthetist.
It is normal to have swelling and bruising, which settle over the first couple of weeks. Many people are back at desk work after one to two weeks. Follow the advice to avoid contact lenses, eye make-up, strenuous exercise and heavy lifting; every recovery is individual.
For upper blepharoplasty, the incision is placed in the natural eyelid crease, which hides the scar when the eye is open. In the lower lid it is made just below the lash line, or inside the lid without any skin incision.
Before you have surgery, the surgeon explains what can go wrong: temporary dryness or irritation of the eyes, bruising, asymmetry, infection and scarring. Rarely, vision changes or the eyes cannot be fully closed without difficulty.
You may be unsuitable for surgery, or need clearance first, with uncontrolled high blood pressure or diabetes, a clotting disorder, severe dry-eye disease, active infection, unstable thyroid eye disease, serious heart or lung disease, or pregnancy; the same is true under 18.
Do not expect the operation to lift the eyebrows or cheeks, remove pigmentation dark circles, or erase fine wrinkles. The final contour settles over several months; the result is long-lasting, but natural ageing continues.
Extent of surgery, meaning upper, lower or both lids, and the chosen anaesthesia are what it depends on. The surgeon's assessment comes first, then the price is confirmed, and only after that do you book.
When the upper eyelids grow heavy, the eyes can look tired or smaller, and a fold of skin resting on the lashes may narrow the upper field of vision. If you live in Nantes and recognise this, eyelid surgery may be worth discussing. The surgeon removes excess skin and sometimes a little fat, and in some cases tightens muscle.
The process begins with a free online consultation. You send photographs and talk with us from Nantes, and the surgeon then examines the information and prepares an individual plan. Anaesthesia is chosen by the surgeon and anaesthetist according to the extent of surgery. Swelling and bruising around the eyes are normal and settle over the first couple of weeks.
If you have been thinking about eyelid surgery in Nantes, the easiest next step is to contact a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp. They respond 24/7. The first consultation is free of charge. Price is not quoted in advance; the surgeon confirms it after assessing you and before any booking.
