Eyelid Lift

for a radiant appearance – Upper and Lower Eyelid Correction

A clear, fresh eye area makes us look awake and youthful. However, age-related changes to the upper and lower eyelids can lead to a tired expression. With modern procedures for upper and lower eyelid lifts, we offer you the opportunity to regain your natural radiance.

Upper Eyelid Lift for an Open Gaze

Over time, the skin on the upper eyelids loses elasticity. This can lead to a "drooping eyelid effect" where the tissue of the upper eyelids sags.

In some cases, this can even restrict the field of vision. Upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is a minimally invasive procedure that removes excess skin and, if necessary, fat deposits. This opens up the gaze and makes it appear fresher and more awake.

Procedure for Upper Eyelid Lift:

  • After anesthesia, a small, precise incision is made in the natural eyelid crease
  • Excess tissue and fat are removed before the skin is carefully tightened
  • The incision is finely sutured, so the scar is almost invisible later

Benefits of Upper Eyelid Lift:

  • Improved facial expression, open and alert gaze
  • Hardly visible scars in the eyelid crease
  • Field of vision can improve

Lower Eyelid Lift for a Radiantly Fresh Eye Area

Lower Eyelid Lift for a Radiantly Fresh Eye Area

Sagging skin and bags under the lower eyelids often make the face appear tired or sad.

With a lower eyelid lift, we can remove or redistribute excess skin and fat to create a smooth, more youthful contour. A lower eyelid lift can also provide a long-term result for genetically determined eye bags.

Procedure for Lower Eyelid Lift:

  • The incision is usually made directly below the lash line or inside the eyelid, minimizing scar formation.
  • Excess tissue is removed or fat deposits are gently redistributed to avoid hollows.
  • The skin is tightened and fixed with a fine suture.

Benefits of Lower Eyelid Lift:

  • Smoother and more youthful appearance
  • Minimally visible scars
  • Reduced eye bags and swelling

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the result of an eyelid lift last?

The durability depends on individual factors such as skin type, age, and lifestyle. However, you can generally expect a result to last 5–10 years or more.

Is the procedure also possible at an older age?

Yes, an eyelid lift can also be performed at an older age. The assessment of skin condition and other health factors is carried out individually during a detailed consultation.

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, there may be slight feelings of tension, but these can be well managed with painkillers.

Can I combine the eyelid lift with other procedures?

Yes, an eyelid lift can be well combined 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 Procedures

Upper and Lower Eyelid Lift in one

For a harmonious overall result, many patients opt for a combined upper and lower eyelid lift.

By treating both areas simultaneously, results can be achieved that make the face appear fresher and more awake overall. Furthermore, healing times can be optimized as the recovery phases coincide.

Combined procedures are also suitable for patients who wish to correct minor wrinkles or volume loss around the eyes in addition to eyelid lifts. In this case, the eyelid lift can be supplemented with a gentle lift or hyaluronic acid injection.
