There are options to treat only the upper lids, only the lower lids, or both in one operation. Where the incision is placed depends on the approach. The surgeon helps you choose at the consultation after an examination of 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
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
Descriptions of the methods here are general. Each patient differs in the extent of surgery and in recovery, so the surgeon confirms both for you once you have been examined.
You receive a plan for your case from the surgeon at the consultation, with each step explained.
You will hear honestly from the surgeon if your concern can be solved without surgery. The operation is an option 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

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.
Every stage is explained beforehand, so you know what follows and whom to ask.
1
Online consultation and plan
You talk with the surgeon online after sending photos. The two of you go over what you want, and the surgeon describes a plan for the upper lids, lower lids, or both.
2
Choosing and booking the date
Once you have the confirmed plan and price, you decide on a date that fits you. Whatever the hour, a coordinator can answer questions and help with arrangements.
3
Pre-operative preparation and tests
The surgeon goes through your medical history and medicines with you. An eye assessment, photographs and standard tests follow, and smoking should be stopped 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
Normal swelling and bruising appear around the eyes. To help, use cold compresses and sleep with the head raised; whether you remain overnight is decided for each person individually.
6
Recovery and follow-up
You can expect swelling to settle over the first couple of weeks and any non-dissolving stitches to be removed, usually within the first week. The surgeon schedules follow-up checks, and the final contour settles over several months.
The consultation is where the surgeon explains to you how your own operation would go.
Reach a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp and send a few photos. In the free, no-obligation first consultation, the surgeon reviews your case and outlines a plan online.
Surgery involves removing excess skin, repositioning or removing small amounts of fat where needed, and sometimes tightening muscle. Local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia is chosen by the surgeon and anaesthetist.
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.
Upper blepharoplasty uses an incision within the natural eyelid crease, and the scar is hidden when the eye is open. Lower blepharoplasty uses an incision just below the lash line, or one inside the lid that leaves the skin uncut.
Temporary dryness or irritation of the eyes, bruising, asymmetry, infection and scarring are the risks the surgeon explains before surgery. There are also rare risks: changes in vision or difficulty closing the eyes fully.
Surgery may be unsuitable, or need clearing first, with uncontrolled high blood pressure or diabetes, clotting disorders, severe dry-eye disease, active infection, unstable thyroid eye disease, serious heart or lung disease, pregnancy, or under 18.
Do not expect the operation to lift the eyebrows or cheeks, remove pigmentation dark circles, or erase fine wrinkles. The final contour settles over several months; the result is long-lasting, but natural ageing continues.
It varies with the scope of surgery, such as upper, lower or both lids, and with the anaesthesia chosen. Before you book, and after the surgeon's assessment, the price is confirmed.
Preparation and recovery after blepharoplasty in Turin
Some people choose eyelid surgery because skin folds on the upper lids rest on the lashes and make the eyes look smaller or narrow the upper field of vision. Others are bothered by under-eye puffiness. If you live in Turin, the surgeon can look at your photographs and tell you which lids would be treated and how.
The online consultation is where the plan takes shape. Patients in Turin describe what bothers them, the surgeon looks at the photos and explains what eyelid surgery can and cannot do. Anaesthesia and any overnight stay are decided individually. Afterwards, sunglasses and sun protection are part of normal recovery, and the scar in the upper-lid crease fades.
Open Telegram or WhatsApp and tell the coordinator you are interested in eyelid surgery. Coordinators are available 24/7 for people in Turin. 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.
