Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Drooping upper eyelids and under-eye bags are among the earliest and most visible signs of facial ageing — and heavy upper lids can even narrow the field of vision. Blepharoplasty corrects both: on the upper lid, excess skin (and a small strip of muscle and fat if needed) is removed through an incision hidden in the natural lid crease; on the lower lid, fat pads causing bags are removed or repositioned through an incision just under the lash line.

Prom. MUDr. Inka Třešková performs eyelid surgery under local anaesthesia at FN Plzeň without hospitalisation — patients go home the same day. The procedure takes roughly 60–90 minutes depending on whether one or both lid levels are treated. Where the brow itself has descended, an upper-lid blepharoplasty alone can look incomplete; for these patients the practice offers a combined brow lift with upper eyelid surgery (from 18,000 Kč) for a more harmonious…

Recovery is straightforward: bruising and swelling settle over 7–14 days, fine sutures are removed after about a week, and the thin scars settle into the natural lid crease. Most patients are socially presentable within two weeks. Results typically last many years.
