Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Blepharoplasty at Cleopatra Clinic removes the excess skin and bulging fat pads that make eyes look tired and hooded. Upper-lid surgery (from 14,000 Kč) excises the skin fold that can rest on the lashes and weigh on the visual field; lower-lid surgery (from 15,000 Kč) corrects under-eye bags. Both are typically done under local anaesthesia with the incision hidden in the natural lid crease or just under the lash line, and medication and follow-up checks are included.

The eyelids are usually the first facial area to show ageing — the thin skin stretches, the orbital fat pads push forward, and the result reads as permanent tiredness even after a full night's sleep. Blepharoplasty is a comparatively quick operation with one of the highest satisfaction rates in facial plastic surgery. **Upper eyelid surgery (14,000–19,900 Kč):** the surgeon marks the excess skin with the patient sitting upright, then removes the redundant skin strip — and protruding fat where present — through an incision hidden in the natural crease. The fine scar settles into the fold and is essentially invisible when the eyes are open. In advanced cases the operation also relieves the heavy-lid sensation and restores the upper visual field. **Lower eyelid surgery (15,000–20,900 Kč):** corrects under-eye bags by removing or repositioning the herniated fat pads and trimming excess skin via an incision just beneath the lash line. **Anaesthesia and downtime:** most blepharoplasties are performed under local anaesthesia; the operation takes roughly 60–90 minutes for one lid pair. Bruising and swelling peak at days 2–3 and largely fade within 10–14 days; stitches come out at about one week. Patients should cool the area, sleep slightly elevated, and avoid screens-heavy work for the first few days. **Included in the price:** surgery, anaesthesia, post-operative medication, and all check-ups and suture removal. Upper and lower lids can be combined in a single session for an efficient single recovery — the combined quote is set at consultation.
