Comparison

Two approaches to eyelid surgery

In blepharoplasty, one operation may cover the upper eyelids, the lower eyelids, or both. Approaches vary by incision placement. The choice is made with the surgeon at the consultation, after your lids are 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

The methods are described only in general terms. How much surgery is needed and how recovery goes depend on the individual, and the surgeon confirms both for you after examining you.

Your plan is built by the surgeon at the consultation, together with an explanation of each step.

Not sure which column applies to you?

Photos can be sent to a coordinator through Telegram or WhatsApp. The surgeon looks at them and offers an opinion, and you are not committing to surgery by doing so.

Process

From your first message to recovery: the steps

Each part of the process is talked through beforehand, so you are aware of what follows and 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

Preparation covers a review of your history and medicines by the surgeon, an eye assessment, photographs and standard tests. The surgeon alone instructs when blood-thinning medicines and supplements are stopped, and smoking should stop as advised.

The operation

The operation takes place under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, whichever the surgeon and anaesthetist select. Excess skin is removed by the surgeon, along with a repositioning or removal of small amounts of fat where needed.

The first hours and days

It is normal to have swelling and bruising around the eyes. Cold compresses and sleeping with your head raised help, and an overnight stay is decided individually.

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 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

What to know about blepharoplasty in Rome

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure on the eyelids. The surgeon takes away excess skin and, where needed, repositions or removes small amounts of fat. For lower lids, the cut is made just below the lash line, or inside the lid when the problem is mainly fat. Patients in Rome can have this explained in detail before deciding.

Before any decision, the surgeon reviews your photographs and medical history. Patients in Rome 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.

Our coordinators work 24/7 on Telegram and WhatsApp, so a question from Rome never has to wait for office hours. Send your photographs, take part in the free first consultation and hear the surgeon's view. The price is confirmed after the surgeon's assessment, before you book.
