Surgical correction of drooping upper eyelids and under-eye fat pads at AMEM's Zlín surgical centre — the only AMEM branch where plastic operations are performed. The procedure is carried out by plastic surgeon MUDr. Hana Skeřilová under local injection anaesthesia, takes about 90 minutes, and addresses heavy, tired-looking eyes, reduced upper visual field and visible fat bags.

Most patients return to light office work by day 3; bruising and swelling typically settle within two weeks, with the final result assessed at three months.
