Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Upper, lower, or combined eyelid surgery performed by plastic surgeon MUDr. Kamila Šormová at her Plzeň clinic. Excess skin and protruding fat pads around the eyelids are removed through incisions hidden in the natural lid creases, refreshing the gaze and giving the face a rested appearance. The procedure is done under analgosedation combined with local anaesthesia. Upper or lower lids alone are outpatient — you go home the same day; combined upper and lower lid surgery involves a one-night stay at the clinic. Most patients are women and men from around 35, when eyelid skin descent becomes more pronounced. Recovery takes approximately two weeks, after which scars heal to be practically invisible.

Blepharoplasty addresses the most visible early sign of facial ageing: excess, descending eyelid skin and bulging fat pads that make the eyes look tired or heavy even after a full night's sleep. At AESTHGERY in Plzeň the procedure is performed personally by MUDr. Kamila Šormová, a board-certified plastic surgeon in practice since 1991 and founder of the clinic in 1999. **Technique:** Incisions are placed in the natural folds of the eyelids — in the upper lid crease for upper blepharoplasty and just below the lash line for lower lids — so that healed scars are practically invisible. Through these incisions the surgeon removes the precisely measured excess of skin and reduces or repositions herniated orbital fat. The procedure is carried out under analgosedation combined with local anaesthesia: you are asleep and comfortable, without the burden of full general anaesthesia. **Hospitalisation:** Upper-lid or lower-lid surgery alone is an outpatient procedure — patients leave the clinic the same day. When upper and lower lids are operated together, a one-night stay in one of the clinic's ensuite patient rooms is included for safe monitoring. **Recovery:** Swelling and bruising around the eyes are normal in the first days and settle progressively; most patients are socially presentable within 10–14 days. Full recovery takes approximately two weeks. Sutures are fine and removed early; cooling compresses and head elevation in the first days speed the resolution of swelling. Sun protection on the healing scars is recommended for several weeks. **Candidates:** Both women and men, most commonly from age 35 onward, who are bothered by hooded upper lids, under-eye bags, or a chronically tired expression. During the Thursday consultation Dr. Šormová examines lid skin quality, fat herniation, and brow position, and recommends whether upper, lower, or combined surgery will achieve the most natural result. **Pricing:** AESTHGERY does not publish a price list — each procedure is quoted individually after the consultation examination, reflecting the extent of surgery (upper, lower, or both lids).
