Treatments
The full range of eyelid surgery – from upper blepharoplasty to tumour surgery with reconstruction. We care for the health of your eyes and the aesthetics of your gaze.
The eyelids protect the eye and shape the expression of the face. With age the eyelid skin loses elasticity, excess skin and fat prolapses appear, and the levator muscle may weaken, causing the lid to droop. Some changes are purely aesthetic; others – such as ptosis, eyelid malposition or tumours – affect vision and eye health.
Dr Jarosław Rachoń covers the whole spectrum of eyelid surgery: from aesthetic procedures to reconstructive operations after tumour removal, including skin grafts.
Removal of excess skin and, where needed, fat from the upper eyelids. The incision runs in the natural eyelid crease, so the healed scar is practically invisible. The procedure rejuvenates the gaze and, where excess skin restricts the visual field, improves visual comfort. It is performed under local anaesthesia; sutures are usually removed after about a week.
Corrects "bags under the eyes" – fat prolapses and excess skin of the lower lids. Depending on the case we use a transconjunctival approach (no skin scar) or a subciliary incision. The procedure can be combined with upper blepharoplasty and a direct brow lift.
Drooping of the upper eyelid may be congenital or acquired – most often it results from weakening or disinsertion of the levator aponeurosis. Surgery restores the correct lid height, improves the visual field and the symmetry of the gaze. The technique is chosen according to levator function and the cause of the ptosis.
An inward-turning lid (entropion) makes the lashes rub against the cornea; an outward-turning lid (ectropion) causes watering, dryness and redness. Both are corrected surgically, restoring the proper contact between the lid and the eye.
Small eyelid lesions are removed as a day case under local anaesthesia. Where indicated, removed tissue is sent for histopathological examination.
The most common eyelid tumour is basal cell carcinoma. Treatment consists of complete excision with histopathological control and reconstruction of the eyelid – from simple closure, through skin flaps, to skin grafts. The goal is both cure and preservation of eyelid function and appearance.
The eyelids are part of the visual system. At OKUMED procedures are performed by an ophthalmologist specialising in eyelid surgery, who also assesses the tear film, lid closure and the effect of surgery on vision before operating. This matters especially in ptosis, dry eye and after laser vision correction, and in eyelid tumours it allows excision to be combined with reconstruction that preserves eyelid function.

For the upper lids the incision runs in the natural eyelid crease; for the lower lids just below the lash line or on the inside of the lid. Once healed, the scars are usually practically invisible.
Swelling and bruising usually last 1–2 weeks. Sutures are removed after about a week. Most people return to office work after 7–10 days; strenuous exercise and saunas should be avoided for a few weeks.
When excess skin or a drooping lid restricts the visual field, causes a feeling of heavy eyelids or forces you to constantly raise your brows. We assess this during qualification.
Procedures are performed under local anaesthesia – you feel no pain during surgery. Afterwards discomfort is usually mild and settles with over-the-counter painkillers.
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty costs PLN 4,000, lower PLN 8,000 and the combined procedure PLN 12,000. The qualification visit is PLN 200 and the first post-operative check-up is free of charge. The full price list is on the Prices page.
