Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Blepharoplasty at Medical Institut removes or repositions excess skin and fat around the eyes to lift hooded upper lids and smooth puffy, tired-looking lower lids. Performed by the clinic's oculoplastic-focused surgeons, it is offered for upper lids, lower lids, or both, plus a transconjunctival option that addresses lower-lid bags through an incision hidden inside the lid with no visible scar. Most upper-lid work is done under local anaesthesia as a day procedure. Because the eye area shapes how rested and approachable a face looks, the surgery is planned conservatively to keep a natural, open-eyed result.

Blepharoplasty rejuvenates the eyelids by removing or repositioning the excess skin, muscle and fat that create hooded upper lids and puffy lower-lid bags. At Medical Institut in Plzeň the procedure is performed by surgeons with dedicated eyelid expertise (MUDr. Zdeněk Kasl and MUDr. Zuzana Procházková) and is priced by area: upper lids from 15,000 Kč, lower lids 18,500 Kč, and both lids together 32,000 Kč. A transconjunctival approach (33,000 Kč) treats lower-lid fat bags through an incision on the inner surface of the lid, leaving no external scar, and can be combined with upper-lid surgery for 51,000 Kč. Upper-lid surgery typically runs under local anaesthesia: the surgeon marks the natural lid crease, removes a precise strip of redundant skin and a sliver of muscle or fat, then closes with fine sutures hidden in the fold. Lower-lid work tightens or repositions fat to soften bags and the tear-trough hollow. It suits people whose heavy upper lids make them look tired, whose vision is partly obstructed by overhanging skin, or who are bothered by under-eye bags that persist regardless of sleep. Expect bruising and swelling around the eyes for one to two weeks, with sutures usually removed at around five to seven days; cold compresses and head elevation speed recovery. Contact lenses, eye make-up and strenuous activity are paused briefly. Dry eyes, sun and screen strain are managed during early healing. Blepharoplasty does not lift the brow or erase crow's-feet — those are addressed separately — and outcomes vary; a consultation confirms which lids to treat and the right anaesthesia.
