Comparison

Two approaches to eyelid surgery

Blepharoplasty may be carried out on the upper lids, the lower lids, or both at once. The approaches are distinguished by the position of the incision. At the consultation the surgeon examines your lids and helps you choose.

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 outlined in general terms only, since the extent of surgery and the recovery depend on the patient. After examining you, the surgeon confirms both for your case.

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

Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

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

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

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

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

Within the first couple of weeks, swelling settles. If stitches are not dissolving, they are usually removed within the first week, and the surgeon arranges follow-up checks while the final contour develops over several months.

How the operation goes in your case is something the surgeon explains at the consultation.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about eyelid surgery

What to know about blepharoplasty in The Hague

Upper blepharoplasty places the incision in the natural eyelid crease, so the scar is hidden when the eye is open. Many people in The Hague look into it because of excess upper-lid skin. Lower-lid surgery is a separate part of the same procedure family, and the surgeon decides which lids need treatment after examining you.

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 The Hague, and the surgeon explains each step.

Starting is simple: send a message on Telegram or WhatsApp and a coordinator will reply, day or night. If you are in The Hague, the first online consultation costs nothing. The price is never fixed in advance; it is confirmed after the surgeon's assessment and before you book.
