Upper and lower eyelid surgery at UEM Prague corrects drooping upper lids, under-eye bags and fat prolapses that make the eyes look tired or aged. The procedure is one of the clinic's signature operations, performed by senior plastic surgeons including prim. MUDr. Dušan Záruba in the Emauzy monastery facility. Upper or lower lids cost 18,000 Kč each, or 35,000 Kč combined — with post-operative care, medication and any touch-up correction within a year included in the price. Most eyelid procedures run under local anesthesia with same-day discharge; sedation or general anesthesia can be added on request.
About this treatment
Blepharoplasty removes excess skin and redistributes or removes protruding fat pads around the eyes — typically the single highest-impact facial rejuvenation procedure relative to its downtime. At UEM, upper-lid surgery addresses hooding that weighs on the lash line (and in advanced cases narrows the visual field), while lower-lid surgery targets under-eye bags and skin laxity; a transconjunctival approach (through the inner lid surface, no external scar)…
The operation is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes roughly 45–90 minutes depending on whether one or both lid pairs are treated. Incisions follow the natural upper-lid crease and the lower lash line, so mature scars are barely visible. Patients go home the same day; sutures come out after about a week, and bruising and swelling generally settle within 10–14 days. UEM's pricing model is notable for what it bundles: all post-operative…
Candidates attend a 500 Kč consultation first — in Prague these run on fixed weekday hours with MUDr. Singerová, MUDr. Němec, Ph.D., or prim. MUDr. Záruba — where the surgeon assesses skin quality, fat prolapse, brow position and tear-trough anatomy, and quotes the exact final price. The clinic has operated since 2002 and holds a 4.9-star rating across 139 Estheticon patient reviews.
