Eyelid lift in Düsseldorf
by Aesthetify
Our eyes are the windows to our soul – they tell stories, give us confidence and cast a spell over us. They attract attention and give us expression. However, drooping eyelids or drooping eyelids can negatively influence this impression by making us look older or more exhausted than we actually feel. For many people, this becomes a problem that affects them not only aesthetically but also functionally. This is because some people suffer when the eyelid hangs over the eyelashes and restricts vision or chronically irritates the eye.
Whether medically necessary or for aesthetic reasons: The experienced team at Aesthetify in Düsseldorf offers you the opportunity to correct drooping eyelids with an eyelid lift. Our experienced doctors will ensure that you can look out into the world again, radiant and full of energy.

Eyelid lift with Asthetify in Düsseldorf
In our practice in Düsseldorf, we use various techniques for eyelid lifts depending on your wishes. Our experienced surgeons always ensure a natural look and implement your ideas precisely.
Upper eyelid lift
During an upper eyelid lift, a precise incision is made in the natural eyelid crease. Excess skin and fatty tissue are removed and the eyelid muscles are tightened to gently lift the eyelid. Many patients who have an eyelid lift performed at our clinic in Düsseldorf combine this method with a mini-facelift in the upper part of the face, in which the outer eyebrow areas are lifted. This enhances the effect of an alert and open gaze.
Lower eyelid lift
Do you suffer from puffy bags under the eyes or sagging lower eyelids? A lower eyelid lift is ideal for correcting this area. A fine incision is made below the lower lash line to remove excess skin and fat pads. This makes your eyes appear larger, fresher and more vibrant.
Asian eyelid correction
Especially for patients of Asian origin, whose eyelid crease is often more voluminous or even missing, we offer the so-called Asian eyelid correction. While excess skin is removed from Caucasian eyelids, we focus on the construction of the eyelid crease in Asian eyelid correction. The aim is to shape the eyelid crease and visually enlarge the eyes without compromising the natural aesthetics.
Eyelid correction procedure
- Personal consultation: We talk to you about your wishes and goals. From this, we develop a customized concept to implement them for you.
- The treatment: We administer anesthesia and begin the surgical procedure. This takes between 20 and 45 minutes per eyelid. We only use the latest technology to minimize wound formation.
- The result: After a week of recovery, the result slowly becomes visible. We will give you important care instructions so that the eye area can recover well.

Procedure
First, we will conduct a detailed consultation to clarify all your questions and discuss your individual wishes. On the day of your eyelid lift, please allow around three hours for your visit to our practice in Düsseldorf. After careful preparation and a final consultation to clarify any unanswered questions or concerns, we will perform the procedure on an outpatient basis. This is performed either under local anesthesia or in twilight sleep so that you do not feel any pain during the procedure. The actual operation only takes 20 to 45 minutes per eyelid. To minimize visible scars, we use a laser or an extremely fine scalpel to make incisions in discreet places so that they are barely noticeable.
We will give you valuable tips to ensure optimal healing. For the first few days, you will also receive prescriptions for painkillers, eye drops and an antibiotic ointment to prevent inflammation. One week after the operation, we will remove the stitches in our practice and check whether the healing is progressing as desired. If you have any questions or problems during the healing process, we are of course always there for you. Our aim is for you to be healthy again soon and to be able to admire the results.
Durability
As every person is unique, it is difficult to say how long the results of an eyelid lift will be visible. However, experience in our practice in Düsseldorf shows that the lift normally lasts between 10 and 15 years. However, a number of factors have an effect on this. These include genetic predisposition, lifestyle and external influences. Diet, nicotine and alcohol consumption and excessive stress are also important factors that can have a negative impact on the ageing process. If the skin begins to sag again, a repeat eyelid lift may therefore be advisable. We also offer minimally invasive treatment without surgery for only slight wrinkles.
Pain
Your eyelid lift in Düsseldorf will of course be performed under anesthesia. We will discuss your wishes in advance. We either use a local anesthetic or twilight sleep. After the successful procedure, slight swelling or bruising may occur. You will be given painkillers to make you feel comfortable. As the eye area is very sensitive, you may experience blurred vision, double vision or irritated eyes for some time. In this case, you will be given special ointments and eye drops that effectively alleviate these symptoms. One week after the procedure, you will be able to socialize again and all symptoms will subside after a few weeks.
What you should look out for - before and aftercare
To ensure that your eyelid lift procedure is a success, you should follow a few tips from our team in Düsseldorf beforehand.
Before the operation:
- Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medication for at least 24 hours before the procedure (after consulting your doctor).
- Inform your surgeon of any medication you are taking.
- Reduce your nicotine consumption and avoid sleeping pills.
- Come to our practice on the day of your procedure without make-up and feeling rested.
- Plan at least one week of recovery time.
After the operation
- Do not allow water to come into contact with the treated area for the first two days.
- Avoid physical exertion and sport for at least a week.
- Wear sunglasses with UV protection for four weeks to protect the sensitive eye area.
- Only apply make-up to the eye area again after ten days.
- Avoid driving for at least a week due to possible visual disturbances.
- Follow all aftercare instructions from your doctor.
Risks, side effects, long-term consequences
An eyelid lift is considered a low-risk and uncomplicated procedure, especially when performed by experienced specialists such as the team at Aesthetify in Düsseldorf. Nevertheless, as with any surgery, slight side effects can occur. These include swelling, hematomas, tightness or temporary numbness. To make the healing process as comfortable as possible, we will provide you with suitable painkillers, eye drops and ointments.
In rare cases, irritation of the cornea or conjunctiva and increased sensitivity to light may occur, but this will quickly subside. If you have any questions or concerns, our doctors are always available for a personal consultation to ensure that you feel well informed and well looked after.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an upper and lower eyelid lift?
The upper eyelid lift corrects excess skin and fatty tissue on the upper eyelid. It is performed when so-called drooping eyelids occur, which can cause a tired or exhausted look. The incision is made in the natural eyelid crease so that no visible scars remain.
The lower eyelid lift, on the other hand, focuses on correcting the lower eye area, particularly in the case of bags under the eyes or sagging skin. Here, the incision is made just below the lash line to remove fat deposits and tighten the skin. Both procedures result in a fresh and open look.
At what age can you have an eyelid lift?
An eyelid lift can be performed regardless of age. However, most patients who come to us in Düsseldorf opt for the procedure from around the age of 40, as sagging skin, drooping eyelids and bags under the eyes often only become visible at this age. Treatment can also be useful for younger patients if genetic predispositions or other factors affect the eye area.
When can I wear make-up again?
You can use light mascara after just a few days to emphasize your eyes. However, you should wait at least three weeks before using more intensive cosmetics such as eyeshadow, eyeliner or kajal in order not to impair the healing of the sensitive eye area.
When will the full result of the eyelid lift be visible?
The final result is usually visible after two to three months. Until then, slight swelling and redness may occur, but these will gradually subside. Patience pays off: After this time, the results will be fully visible and your eyes will look fresher and more youthful.
When can I return to work after the eyelid lift?
It is advisable to plan a week’s vacation to provide optimal support for healing. In particular, you should avoid activities that require prolonged staring at screens during this time, as they can put unnecessary strain on the eye area. You should also reduce screen time on your smartphone, laptop or TV at home. After a week, you will be socially acceptable again and can gradually resume your everyday life.
