Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Blepharoplasty at OB CARE removes excess skin and protruding fat pads from the upper or lower eyelids to correct hooded lids, a tired appearance, and under-eye bags. Upper-lid surgery is typically performed under local anaesthesia as a day procedure; combined upper-and-lower correction is done in one session from 35,000 Kč. Incisions are placed in the natural lid crease (upper) or just below the lash line (lower), making mature scars practically invisible. The procedure is performed by plastic surgeon MUDr. Martin Skála in a hospital-grade facility, and for patients seeking a non-surgical alternative for mild skin excess, the clinic also offers Plexr plasma eyelid treatment.

Eyelid skin is the thinnest on the body and often the first area to show visible ageing — hooding of the upper lids that can eventually weigh on the lashes and narrow the visual field, and fat protrusion under the eyes that creates permanent bags regardless of sleep. Blepharoplasty directly removes the excess skin and repositions or removes the protruding fat, producing one of the highest satisfaction-to-downtime ratios of any facial procedure. **Upper blepharoplasty (from 18,000 Kč):** Through an incision hidden in the natural lid crease, the surgeon removes a measured strip of excess skin and, where needed, a small amount of muscle and fat. The procedure takes under an hour, is usually done under local anaesthesia, and patients go home the same day. **Lower blepharoplasty (from 18,000 Kč):** Performed through an incision just under the lash line (or inside the lid when only fat needs addressing). Protruding fat pads are removed or redistributed to smooth the lid-cheek junction, and excess skin is conservatively trimmed. **Combined upper + lower (from 35,000 Kč):** Both lid pairs are corrected in a single session — the most efficient option for patients with ageing changes in both areas, with one recovery period instead of two. **Recovery:** Bruising and swelling peak in the first 2–3 days; cool compresses and head elevation help. Sutures are removed at about one week. Most patients are socially presentable in 7–10 days with makeup. Avoid contact lenses, swimming, and intense exercise for about two weeks. **Setting and safety:** Surgery takes place in OB CARE's hospital facility with full anaesthesiology backup — relevant for patients who prefer or require sedation or general anaesthesia, and for combined procedures. The quoted prices are all-inclusive of pre-operative examination, anaesthesia, medication, and sutures.
