Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Blepharoplasty at Klinika Esthé removes excess skin and bulging fat from the upper or lower eyelids to correct hooded, tired-looking eyes — one of the highest-satisfaction procedures in plastic surgery. Upper eyelid surgery (from 19,500 Kč) is typically performed under local anaesthesia in under an hour with scars hidden in the natural lid crease; lower eyelid surgery (from 24,500 Kč) addresses under-eye bags. The clinic's plastic surgeons, operating since 1997, can combine upper blepharoplasty with an internal brow lift (from 12,000 Kč) or a full endoscopic brow lift when brow descent contributes to the hooding.

The eyes are the first place ageing shows and the first place others look. Upper eyelid skin stretches with age, creating a hood that can make applying make-up difficult and, in advanced cases, weigh on the lashes; lower lid fat pads bulge forward, creating permanent "bags" that no cream addresses. Blepharoplasty corrects both surgically — a precise, short procedure with decades of established technique. **Upper blepharoplasty — from 19,500 Kč:** under local anaesthesia, the surgeon excises the redundant skin (and a conservative amount of muscle/fat where indicated) through an incision hidden in the natural lid crease. The procedure takes 45–60 minutes for both eyes; sutures come out around day 5–7. Bruising and swelling settle over 1–2 weeks; most patients are socially presentable with glasses within a week. The scar matures into the crease and is essentially invisible. **Lower blepharoplasty — from 24,500 Kč:** addresses bulging fat pads and skin excess of the lower lid, via an incision just under the lash line or inside the lid (transconjunctival) when only fat needs repositioning. Technically the more demanding lid — performed by the clinic's experienced plastic surgeons. **Brow descent matters:** a heavy upper lid is often partly a dropped brow. Esthé offers an internal browpexy added during upper blepharoplasty (from 12,000 Kč) or a full endoscopic brow lift (from 65,000 Kč) when the brow itself needs repositioning — assessed honestly at consultation so patients don't have skin removed to compensate for a brow problem. **Recovery:** cool compresses for the first days, head elevated at night, no lenses for ~2 weeks, no heavy exercise for 2–3 weeks. Results last many years; the clinic provides an individual follow-up plan as part of its standard aftercare philosophy.
