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

What is written here about the methods is general. Extent of surgery and recovery are individual, and after examining you the surgeon confirms both for your case.

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

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

Standard tests, photographs and an eye assessment are done, and the surgeon reviews your medical history and medicines. On the surgeon's instructions alone are blood-thinning medicines and supplements stopped, and you should stop smoking as advised.

The operation

Local anaesthesia with sedation, or general anaesthesia, is used for the operation; the surgeon and anaesthetist make the choice. The surgeon takes out excess skin and, where needed, repositions or takes out small amounts of fat.

The first hours and days

Around the eyes, swelling and bruising are to be expected. You can ease them with cold compresses and by sleeping with the head raised, and the surgeon decides individually whether you stay overnight.

Recovery and follow-up

The final contour settles over several months, though swelling settles over the first couple of weeks. Non-dissolving stitches are usually removed within the first week, and the surgeon schedules follow-up checks.

The surgeon uses the consultation to explain the course of the operation in your particular case.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about eyelid surgery

Blepharoplasty in Rotterdam: from first photos to confirmed plan

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 Rotterdam 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.

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

If you have been thinking about eyelid surgery in Rotterdam, 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.
