Eyelid surgery improves the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. It gives a rejuvenated appearance to the surrounding area of your eyes, making you look more rested and alert.

Plastic surgery of the upper eyelids  takes about 30-50 minutes and is performed only under a local anesthetic (we can use also full anesthetic).

 After applying local anesthetic we perform incision 10-20mm (about) upper eyelid, we remove excess skin and sew cover the eye lid. 

Sutures are removed on the 7th day after surgery. Postoperative scar is hidden in the place of the natural grooves, so do not worry about visibility.

After eyelid surgery, we recommend that the patient slept for about 1 week on back. It minimize the swelling.


Laser surgery of the lower eyelid is performed in short-term general anesthesia. The incision is made ​​in the lower conjunctival sac. After surgery the mucosa only sealed, does not need to sew.


After surgery, we recommend use of eye drops or eye ointments.


The advantages of laser compared to conventional surgery of lower eyelids is in the fact that after laser surgery does not leave scars on the outside of the eyelid. In addition also that minimize swelling and bruising after surgery.
