Understanding your options

Blepharoplasty removes or repositions excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper or lower eyelids. Upper eyelid surgery treats hooded or heavy lids, which can sometimes block vision; lower eyelid surgery treats bags under the eyes. An eye examination beforehand checks for dry eye and other conditions.

  • Do I have dry eye or other conditions that change the plan?
  • Where will the scars be?

An individual estimate needs a defined plan and provider review. Ask for a written breakdown rather than comparing package names alone.

  • Upper, lower, or all four eyelids
  • Local or general anaesthesia
  • Combined procedures such as a brow lift

Confirm what is included, quotation validity, possible additional charges, and cancellation terms. Allow separately for accommodation, travel, local transfers, coordination fees, and care after returning home.

Recovery and follow-up planning

Stitches are usually removed after about 5 to 7 days and bruising settles over 2 to 3 weeks. Plan around a week near the surgeon before flying.

Common questions

Upper eyelid surgery is often done under local anaesthetic; lower or combined surgery may use sedation or general anaesthetic.

The aim is a fresher look that still looks like you. Ask to see before-and-after examples.
