Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Blepharoplasty at Plastika Praha removes the excess skin and fat that make eyes look tired, hooded, or puffy. Upper eyelid surgery starts at 19,000 Kč, lower lids at 22,000 Kč, and the combined upper-and-lower procedure at 36,000 Kč — all under local anesthesia with no overnight stay, performed personally by MUDr. Tomáš Doležal in the clinic's procedure rooms in Prague 3. It is one of the most affordable high-impact facial procedures on the clinic's published price list, with visible rejuvenation and scars hidden in the natural lid crease.

The eyelids are typically the first facial area to show ageing: upper-lid skin stretches and folds over the lash line (dermatochalasis), sometimes far enough to weigh on the lashes or narrow the visual field, while in the lower lids the orbital fat pads bulge forward creating permanent 'bags' that no amount of sleep or eye cream resolves. Blepharoplasty corrects both surgically and is among the highest satisfaction-to-downtime procedures in aesthetic surgery. **Upper blepharoplasty (from 19,000 Kč):** Through an incision placed precisely in the natural lid crease, excess skin — and where needed a strip of muscle and protruding fat — is removed and the lid closed with fine sutures. The scar sits hidden in the crease and is barely detectable once matured. The procedure takes around 45–60 minutes for both eyes under local anesthesia. **Lower blepharoplasty (from 22,000 Kč):** Addresses under-eye bags via an incision just below the lash line (or transconjunctivally inside the lid where only fat needs repositioning). Bulging fat is removed or redistributed into the tear trough and excess skin conservatively trimmed. **Combined upper + lower (from 36,000 Kč):** Both areas in one session — one anesthesia, one recovery — at a saving versus separate procedures. **Recovery:** Bruising and swelling peak at days 2–3 and largely settle within 7–14 days; sutures are removed at about a week. Most patients are socially presentable with light makeup at 10–14 days. Cold compresses, head elevation, and avoiding screens-heavy strain the first days speed things along. Because only local anesthesia is used, you walk out the same day — though a companion for the trip home is sensible. As everywhere at this clinic, Dr. Doležal — 25+ years, 8,500+ procedures, ISAPS member — performs the surgery and all follow-ups personally.
