Upper Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty removes the excess skin and fatty deposits that cause heavy, drooping eyelids — restoring a more open, rested eye appearance and, in cases where the overhang impairs vision, improving the peripheral visual field. BODY klinika performs this under local anaesthesia as an outpatient procedure with no hospitalisation required. The incision is hidden within the natural eyelid crease. The fixed price of 23,800 Kč covers the complete procedure, with CO2 fractional laser resurfacing available as an add-on to further refine eyelid skin quality.

The upper eyelids are among the first areas to show age-related change: the skin loses elasticity, becomes increasingly lax, and may descend across the lid margin. Fatty deposits in the medial and central fat compartments can create a 'puffy' appearance, and the combination of excess skin and fat often gives a tired, heavy look even when a person is fully rested. When the overhang is significant, it may encroach on the visual field — particularly in the lateral upper visual quadrant — creating a functional indication for the procedure. At BODY klinika, upper blepharoplasty is performed under local anaesthesia in an outpatient setting. The surgeon marks the planned excision with the patient upright (gravity affects the lid position), then removes a precisely measured ellipse of skin and the herniated fat pads through a supra-tarsal incision. The scar is hidden within the natural eyelid crease and typically heals to a fine, barely visible line. The procedure requires no fasting, no general anaesthesia, and no inpatient stay. Patients are discharged the same day and typically return to non-physical work within three to five days; residual swelling and bruising around the eyes resolves over one to two weeks. Cosmetic result is visible from the first week, though definitive scar maturation takes several months. For patients wanting additional improvement in fine lines and skin texture around the eye area, the clinic offers CO2 fractional laser resurfacing as a complementary treatment performed after the surgical swelling has settled — a combination that addresses both structural excess and surface skin quality. Fixed price: 23,800 Kč for upper eyelids alone.
