Eyelid lift
For a radiant appearance - upper and lower eyelid correction
A clear, fresh eye area makes us look alert and youthful. However, age-related changes to the upper and lower eyelids can lead to a tired look. With modern upper and lower eyelid lifting procedures, we offer you the opportunity to regain your natural radiance.
Upper eyelid lift
for an open view
Over time, the skin on the upper eyelids loses its elasticity. This can lead to a "drooping eyelid effect", in which the tissue of the upper eyelids sags.
In some cases, this can even restrict the field of vision. An upper eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) is a minimally invasive procedure that removes excess skin and, if necessary, fat deposits. This opens up the eyes and makes them look fresher and more alert.
Upper eyelid lift procedure:
After anesthesia, a small, precise incision is made in the natural crease of the eyelid
Excess tissue and fat are removed before the skin is carefully tightened
The incision is finely sutured so that the scar is almost invisible later on
Advantages of the upper eyelid lift:
Improved facial expression, open and alert gaze
Barely visible scars in the crease of the eyelid
Field of vision can improve
Duration of the procedure
approx. 45-60 minutes
Anesthesia
Local anesthesia or twilight sleep
Downtime
approx. 7-10 days
Final result visible
after approx. 4-6 weeks
Lower eyelid lift
For a radiantly fresh eye area
Sagging skin and bags under the lower eyelids often make the face look tired or sad.
With a lower eyelid lift, we can remove or redistribute excess skin and fat to create a smoother, more youthful contour.
A lower eyelid lift can also offer a long-term result in the case of genetically caused bags under the eyes.
Procedure for a lower eyelid lift:
The incision is usually made just below the lash line or inside the eyelid, which minimizes scarring.
Excess tissue is removed or fat deposits are gently redistributed to avoid cavities.
The skin is tightened and fixed in a fine suture.
Advantages of the lower eyelid lift:
Smoother and more youthful appearance
Minimally visible scars
Reduced bags under the eyes and puffiness
Duration of the procedure
approx. 60-90 minutes
Anesthesia
Local anesthesia or twilight sleep
Downtime
approx. 10-14 days
Final result visible
after approx. 6-8 weeks
Frequently asked questions
-
How long do the results of an eyelid lift last?
The durability depends on individual factors such as skin type, age and lifestyle. As a rule, however, you can expect a result of 5-10 years or more.
-
Is the eyelid lift painful?
Thanks to local anesthesia or twilight sleep, you will not feel any pain during the procedure. In the first few days after the operation, you may experience slight feelings of tension, but these can be easily treated with painkillers.
-
Is the procedure also possible at an older age?
Yes, an eyelid lift can also be performed at an advanced age. The skin condition and other health factors are assessed individually during a detailed consultation.
-
Can I combine an eyelid lift with other procedures?
Yes, an eyelid lift can be combined well with other treatments such as wrinkle injections, a gentle lift or a forehead lift. This can achieve a harmonious and all-round rejuvenated overall result.
Combination interventions
Upper and lower eyelid lift in one procedure
For a harmonious overall result, many patients opt for a combined upper and lower eyelid lift.
By treating both areas at the same time, results can be achieved that make the face appear fresher and more alert overall. In addition, healing times can be optimized as the recovery phases coincide.
Combined procedures are also suitable for patients who would like to correct slight wrinkles or loss of volume around the eyes in addition to the eyelid lift. In this case, the eyelid lift can be supplemented with a gentle lift or hyaluronic acid injection.
