Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Eyelid surgery removes excess skin and, where needed, fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids to open up a tired or heavy-looking gaze and smooth under-eye bags. Performed by Dr Nawrocki under local anaesthesia, it is a comparatively quick procedure with a shorter recovery than larger operations. Published prices are 6,000 zł for upper lids, 8,500 zł for lower lids and 13,000 zł for both.

With age the delicate skin of the eyelids stretches and the small fat pads around the eye can become more prominent, leaving the upper lids looking heavy or hooded and the lower lids puffy or shadowed — which can make the whole face look tired regardless of how rested you are. Blepharoplasty at Klinika Chirurgii Plastycznej Dr Nawrocki corrects this by removing or repositioning excess skin and fat from the upper lids, the lower lids, or both, to give a fresher, more open and alert appearance while keeping the eyes looking natural. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and is comparatively quick, often taking under an hour depending on whether one or both lids are treated. Incisions are placed in the natural crease of the upper lid or just below the lash line of the lower lid, so the fine scars are well concealed once healed. Bruising and swelling around the eyes are common for the first one to two weeks; cool compresses help, and most people feel ready to return to normal social activities within around two weeks as the marks fade. The result is long-lasting and can have a noticeable rejuvenating effect on the upper face. Dr Nawrocki assesses the eyelids and surrounding area, confirms which lids to treat and discusses recovery and realistic outcomes at consultation; results vary between individuals and the procedure carries the usual surgical risks. Published prices are 6,000 zł for the upper lids, 8,500 zł for the lower lids and 13,000 zł for both treated together.
