Both the upper and the lower lids can be treated in one operation, or just one pair. The incision is placed in different places depending on the approach. The surgeon will help you choose after examining your lids at the consultation.
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
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.
At the consultation the surgeon builds a plan for your case and explains each step.
If your concern can be solved without surgery, the surgeon will tell you so honestly. The operation is considered only when it suits your health and goals.
Suitable
Heavy or drooping upper eyelids
Eyes that look tired or smaller than you feel
Skin folds resting on the lashes
Narrowed upper field of vision from skin folds
Puffiness or bags under the eyes
Loose skin of the lower eyelids
A wish for a calmer, more rested look
Not suitable
Uncontrolled high blood pressure or diabetes
Blood clotting disorders
Severe dry-eye disease
Active eye or skin infection
Unstable thyroid eye disease
Serious heart or lung disease
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or under 18
Not sure which column applies to you?
Start by sending photos to a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp. The surgeon examines them and shares an opinion, without any obligation to go ahead with surgery.
The steps are explained to you before they happen, so you know what is next and whom to contact.
1
Online consultation and plan
You send photos and have an online conversation with the surgeon. You talk through what you want, and the surgeon sets out a plan for the upper lids, the lower lids, or both.
2
Choosing and booking the date
You choose a convenient date after the plan and price are confirmed. At any hour, a coordinator is there to answer your questions and help with arrangements.
3
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.
4
The operation
Surgery is done under local anaesthesia with sedation or under general anaesthesia, chosen by the surgeon and anaesthetist. The surgeon removes excess skin and, where needed, repositions or removes small amounts of fat.
5
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.
6
Recovery and follow-up
Stitches, if they do not dissolve, are usually removed within the first week, and swelling settles over the first couple of weeks. You have follow-up checks with the surgeon, and the final contour settles over several months.
The consultation is where the surgeon explains to you how your own operation would go.
The first consultation is free and without obligation. To begin, message a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp with a few photos, and the surgeon will review your case and outline a plan online.
The surgeon and anaesthetist decide whether anaesthesia is local with sedation or general. In the operation, excess skin is removed, small amounts of fat are repositioned or removed where needed, and muscle is sometimes tightened.
Swelling and bruising around the eyes are a normal part of healing and settle over the first couple of weeks. Desk work is something many people resume after one to two weeks. Avoiding contact lenses, eye make-up, strenuous exercise and heavy lifting is part of the advice, and recovery is individual.
When the upper lids are treated, the incision lies in the natural eyelid crease and the scar is hidden with the eye open. When the lower lids are treated, it lies just below the lash line or inside the lid, without a skin incision.
Risks are discussed by the surgeon before surgery, among them temporary dryness or irritation of the eyes, bruising, asymmetry, infection and scarring. Rarely, a change in vision or difficulty closing the eyes fully may occur.
If you have uncontrolled high blood pressure or diabetes, clotting disorders, severe dry-eye disease, active infection, unstable thyroid eye disease, or serious heart or lung disease, surgery may be unsuitable or need clearing first. The same applies to pregnancy and to those under 18.
The final contour settles over several months. The result is long-lasting, but natural ageing continues. The operation does not lift the eyebrows or cheeks, remove pigmentation dark circles, or erase fine wrinkles.
It depends on the extent of surgery you need, such as upper, lower or both lids, and on the anaesthesia chosen. The price is confirmed after the surgeon's assessment, before you book.
Online consultation and planning for Toulouse residents
Upper blepharoplasty places the incision in the natural eyelid crease, so the scar is hidden when the eye is open. Many people in Toulouse 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.
Your first consultation is online and free of charge. If you are in Toulouse, you send photos, answer questions about your health and discuss what you would like to change. The surgeon then proposes a plan, including whether upper lids, lower lids or both are involved, and explains the anaesthesia options and the likely course of recovery.
Open Telegram or WhatsApp and tell the coordinator you are interested in eyelid surgery. Coordinators are available 24/7 for people in Toulouse. You will be asked for a few photographs, and the surgeon will look at them. The first consultation is free, and the price is confirmed only after that assessment.
