Comparison

Two approaches to eyelid surgery

Upper lids, lower lids or both can be treated in one operation. The incision is placed differently depending on the approach. After examining your lids at the consultation, the surgeon 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

Please treat the description of the methods as general. Surgery extent and recovery are individual to each patient, and your surgeon confirms both after examining you.

Each step is explained by the surgeon, who builds a plan for your case at the consultation.

Free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Pre-operative preparation and tests

Before surgery, the surgeon reviews your history and medicines, and you undergo an eye assessment, photographs and standard tests. Only the surgeon's instructions determine when blood-thinning medicines and supplements are stopped; smoking should end as advised.

The operation

During surgery, you receive local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, as chosen by the surgeon and anaesthetist. Excess skin is removed, and small amounts of fat are repositioned or removed where needed.

The first hours and days

Swelling and bruising around the eyes are a normal part of healing. Cold compresses and a raised head during sleep help, and there is an individual decision on an overnight stay.

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.

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

Frequently asked questions about eyelid surgery

Blepharoplasty in Utrecht: from first photos to confirmed plan

Blepharoplasty is eyelid surgery. The surgeon removes excess skin and, where needed, repositions or removes small amounts of fat in the upper lids, the lower lids or both. People in Utrecht usually consider it for heavy, drooping upper lids, puffiness under the eyes or loose lower-lid skin, and the approach is decided after an examination.

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 Utrecht can ask any question before booking. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting are avoided for several weeks afterwards.

You do not have to commit to anything to ask questions. Patients in Utrecht can message a coordinator on Telegram or WhatsApp at any time, and the first consultation is free. After the surgeon has examined your details and confirmed the plan, you are told the price, and only then do you decide whether to book.
