What Is Blepharoplasty and Who Is It For

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure on the eyelids. On the upper eyelids it removes excess drooping skin; on the lower eyelids it addresses the fatty bags that create a tired expression. It is done as an outpatient procedure under local anaesthesia and takes roughly 45 minutes, with no hospital stay.

At BEAUTYSHAPE clinic (Rumunská 1720/12, Prague 2) the surgery uses a radiofrequency scalpel and microsurgical sutures. On the upper eyelid the incision follows the natural skin crease, so the scar blends in over time and becomes inconspicuous. The clinic is registered with the Czech NRPZS registry.

Depending on where the problem lies, the procedure comes in three variants. The exact technique for the lower eyelids is chosen by the doctor during the consultation based on the condition of the tissues.

The procedure makes sense for people with drooping upper eyelids, bags under the eyes, or a persistently tired and sad-looking expression. The concern can be aesthetic but also functional, when excess skin begins to narrow the field of vision.

The goal is not a changed face but a naturally fresher and more rested look. Whether the surgery is right for you is assessed by an eye doctor after an examination. An online consultation at BEAUTYSHAPE is free and non-binding.

Blepharoplasty is performed under local anaesthesia, as an outpatient procedure, in about 45 minutes. A radiofrequency scalpel and fine microsurgical sutures are used. Afterwards you go home the same day and no hospitalisation is needed.

Sutures are removed between day 5 and day 10. Make-up is usually possible again after 2 to 3 weeks. The exact course of healing is individual and is discussed at the consultation; at BEAUTYSHAPE the post-operative check-ups are included in the price.

The procedure is not suitable for everyone. Caution is warranted with active eye inflammation, uncompensated systemic conditions, or unrealistic expectations about the result. Any contraindications are always assessed by the doctor during an in-person examination.

The result depends on individual healing and cannot be guaranteed in advance. That is why the first step is always a consultation, where the doctor evaluates whether and which type of procedure makes sense in your case.

Blepharoplasty should be performed by a physician experienced in oculoplastic surgery. At BEAUTYSHAPE the procedure is carried out by eye specialists MUDr. Zuzana Procházková (oculoplastics, 10 years of practice, with the clinic since 2017), MUDr. Stanislav Kolbach (upper and lower blepharoplasty, graduate of the 2nd Faculty of Medicine, Charles University) and MUDr. Marcela Richterová (oculoplastics, practising since 2012).
