Comparison

Two approaches to eyelid surgery

Blepharoplasty can be done on the upper eyelids, the lower eyelids, or both in one operation. The approaches differ in where the incision is placed. At the consultation the surgeon helps you choose after examining your lids.

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

These are general descriptions of the methods. The surgeon examines you and then confirms the extent of surgery and the recovery for your case, as both depend on the individual.

The consultation is where the surgeon draws up your plan and talks you through each step.

Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Process

From your first message to recovery: the steps

Nothing is left unexplained: each stage is described ahead of time, and you know who to ask along the way.

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.

Pre-operative preparation and tests

You will have your medical history and medicines reviewed, along with an eye assessment, photographs and standard tests. Do not stop blood-thinning medicines or supplements unless the surgeon instructs you, and 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

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

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.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about eyelid surgery

Upper, lower or combined: choosing your operation in Stuttgart

Eyelid surgery works on the skin and fat of the eyelids, not on the brows or cheeks. Patients in Stuttgart often ask about it because of puffiness or bags under the eyes, or because the skin of the lower lids has become loose. Upper and lower lids can be treated in one operation, and that choice is made at the consultation.

Expect a clear sequence. First, a free online consultation with photographs. Then the surgeon examines your details, confirms the plan and explains the risks, including temporary dryness of the eyes, bruising and asymmetry. Patients in Stuttgart can ask any question before booking. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting are avoided for several weeks afterwards.

Booking comes last, not first. Begin by messaging a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp from Stuttgart, then have the free online consultation. The surgeon examines your photographs, confirms the plan and tells you the price. Only after that do you decide whether to go ahead, and coordinators remain available 24/7.
