Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Blepharoplasty at GISANT addresses heavy, hooded upper lids and under-eye bags by removing excess eyelid skin and herniated fat pockets, producing a fresher, more rested appearance. The clinic offers three configurations — upper lids (CZK 13,000), lower lids (CZK 16,000), or both together (CZK 25,000) — and the procedure can be done under local or general anaesthesia depending on the case. Lead surgeon MUDr. Tarek Rashed performs eyelid surgery most frequently. Incisions follow the natural lid crease so scars mature into near-invisible lines. Patients receive a detailed post-operative kit, with cold compresses and elevated sleep advised for the first week and stitches removed at seven to ten days.

Blepharoplasty — eyelid correction surgery — is one of the procedures lead surgeon MUDr. Tarek Rashed performs most often at GISANT. It targets two distinct concerns: excess upper-eyelid skin that creates a hooded, tired appearance (and can occasionally restrict the upper visual field), and herniated lower-eyelid fat pads that create persistent under-eye bags. The clinic prices the three approaches separately — upper lids at CZK 13,000, lower lids at CZK 16,000, and the combined upper-and-lower procedure at CZK 25,000 — so patients can address one area or both in a single session. The operation can be performed under local anaesthesia for the upper lids or under general anaesthesia for more extensive work, and takes roughly half an hour to an hour and a half depending on configuration. Through incisions placed in the natural upper-lid crease or just below the lower lash line, the surgeon removes excess skin, redundant fat pockets and any loose orbicularis muscle, then closes with fine sutures positioned so the scar matures into a barely perceptible line. GISANT provides a detailed post-operative kit and instructions: cold compresses (gel packs and black-tea compresses) for the first one to two days, sleeping with the head elevated through the first week, and Maxitrol eye drops for lubrication and infection control. Aescin is taken before and after surgery to reduce swelling and bruising. Stitches are removed at seven to ten days, and most patients return to their normal routine in about a week. Blepharoplasty suits men and women who have accumulated excess eyelid skin or under-eye bags through ageing, genetics or weight change. Patients should be free of acute illness before surgery and discontinue blood-thinning medication as advised to minimise bruising. Where brow descent contributes to a heavy upper lid, the surgeon may discuss combining the procedure with a brow lift.
