Eyelid Correction (Blepharoplasty) Prague

Eyelid correction (blepharoplasty) through Royal Medical Prague is a daycase surgical procedure with no overnight inpatient stay, performed under local anaesthesia, analgosedation, or general anaesthesia when combined with other procedures. Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fatty tissue from the upper lid to restore a more open, rested eye appearance; lower blepharoplasty addresses under-eye bags and puffiness caused by herniated orbital fat. Results are long-lasting — typically 10–15 years before natural ageing progression warrants retreatment. Royal Medical recommends a minimum 2-day Prague stay for daycase blepharoplasty. The all-inclusive pricing from €970 for upper lids makes this one of the most accessible surgical eyelid treatments available through a supervised medical tourism coordinator.

Blepharoplasty arranged through Royal Medical Prague covers both upper and lower eyelid correction as standalone procedures or in combination, with the option to combine either with facelift, Botox, or other facial surgery during the same surgical session. Upper blepharoplasty is the most common form of the procedure. With age, the levator aponeurosis weakens and excess skin accumulates in the upper eyelid sulcus — in advanced cases enough to visually narrow the eye or impair the superior visual field. The surgeon makes an incision in the natural eyelid crease, removes the excess skin and any hypertrophic orbicularis oculi muscle, and — if present — excises or repositions herniated preaponeurotic fat through the same incision. Sutures are placed in the crease, making any scar essentially invisible once healed. Stitch removal is typically scheduled at five to seven days post-operatively. Lower blepharoplasty targets the under-eye area. Here the dominant concern is usually herniated orbital fat that produces the 'bag' appearance beneath the eye — distinct from skin excess, which is less common in isolation. The surgeon accesses the fat compartments either through a trans-conjunctival incision (invisible, no skin scar, appropriate when excess skin is not the primary concern) or a sub-ciliary skin incision when skin removal is also indicated. Fat is either excised or redistributed (fat repositioning) to smooth the lid-cheek junction. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia for isolated blepharoplasty, analgosedation (IV sedation) when patients prefer a more comfortable experience, or general anaesthesia when combined with facelift, rhinoplasty, or other procedures. Duration is approximately 45–60 minutes per lid pair when performed in isolation. No overnight inpatient stay is needed for isolated blepharoplasty — patients are discharged on the same day. Recovery involves some bruising and swelling around the eyes, which is typically controlled with cold compresses during the first 48 hours. Most patients are comfortable in low-key settings after seven days and presentable for more social situations by two to three weeks. Full recovery, including resolution of any residual swelling at the medial corners, takes approximately four weeks. The visual improvement — reduced heaviness over the eyes, more open expression, reduced under-eye shadow — lasts 10–15 years before natural ageing warrants reassessment. Blepharoplasty can be usefully combined with a small-volume Botox treatment to the crow's-feet area at the time of surgery, as this complements the surgical lid correction without a separate procedure. Royal Medical's coordinator can arrange this discussion with the surgeon at the pre-operative consultation. The Royal Medical all-inclusive fee covers the surgeon, anaesthesia, the daycase facility, coordinator, airport transfer (if required), and aftercare follow-up.
