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

Because the extent of surgery and the recovery depend on the individual patient, the methods are described generally here. The surgeon confirms both for your case after examining you.

In the consultation, the surgeon sets out a plan for your case and describes every step.

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.

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.

1

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

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

Several months are needed for the final contour to settle, while swelling settles over the first couple of weeks. The surgeon schedules follow-up checks, and stitches, if not dissolving, are usually removed within the first week.

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

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about eyelid surgery

Questions Paris patients ask about eyelid surgery

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 Paris thinking about it should discuss these limits with the surgeon first.

From Paris 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.

Step one is a message. Choose Telegram or WhatsApp, write to a coordinator and arrange your free online consultation. Anyone in Paris 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.
