Comparison

Two approaches to eyelid surgery

You can have blepharoplasty on the upper lids, the lower lids, or both in one operation. What differs between approaches is where the incision goes. The surgeon helps you decide at the consultation, once your lids have been examined.

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

Descriptions of the methods here are general. Each patient differs in the extent of surgery and in recovery, so the surgeon confirms both for you once you have been examined.

During the consultation, the surgeon works out a plan for your case and explains each stage.

Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Not sure which column applies to you?

Photos go to a coordinator by Telegram or WhatsApp, then the surgeon reviews them and gives you an opinion. Sending them does not commit you to an operation.

Online consultation and plan

Photos and an online conversation with the surgeon come first. You discuss what you hope to achieve, and the surgeon then proposes a plan for 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

Either local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia is used, as chosen by the surgeon and anaesthetist. The surgeon takes away excess skin and, where needed, repositions or removes small amounts of fat.

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.

Recovery and follow-up

You can expect swelling to settle over the first couple of weeks and any non-dissolving stitches to be removed, usually within the first week. The surgeon schedules follow-up checks, and the final contour settles over several months.

The surgeon will describe, at the consultation, the way the operation would be carried out in your case.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about eyelid surgery

Questions Palermo patients ask about eyelid surgery

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 Palermo, the surgeon can look at your photographs and tell you which lids would be treated and how.

After the operation, cold compresses and sleeping with the head raised help with swelling. Stitches that do not dissolve are usually removed within the first week. Many people return to desk work after one to two weeks, though recovery is individual. Everything starts with an online conversation for patients in Palermo, and the surgeon explains each step.

Step one is a message. Choose Telegram or WhatsApp, write to a coordinator and arrange your free online consultation. Anyone in Palermo can do this in a few minutes. The surgeon then reviews the photos and confirms the plan and the price, and you book only once both are clear to you.
