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.
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.
We offer the so-called Asian eyelid correction especially for patients of Asian origin, whose eyelid crease is often more voluminous or even missing. 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.
An eyelid lift, also known as blepharoplasty, is a minor procedure with an impressive effect – provided it is performed by qualified doctors. At Aesthetify in Düsseldorf, we attach great importance to professional advice, individual treatment and conscientious aftercare.
Before we start the procedure, we will discuss your aesthetic goals in detail and how we can achieve them in a personal consultation. It is very important to us that we fully inform you about the procedure, the method, the aftercare and possible risks so that no questions remain unanswered at the end. You should feel safe, well informed and well looked after. Aesthetify is the right place for your eyelid lift in Düsseldorf.
Natural result instead of artificial look
If you opt for an eyelid lift in our Düsseldorf practice, you need not fear an unnatural result.

That is why we analyze your facial anatomy and facial expressions before the procedure to decide together with you how exactly we will proceed in order to ultimately create an authentic aesthetic that really suits you.

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 Aesthetify 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 takes just 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.
After the procedure, we will discuss all the important steps for aftercare together to ensure optimal healing. You will also receive prescriptions for painkillers, an antibiotic ointment and, if necessary, eye drops to support you during the healing phase. After about a week, we will invite you back for a follow-up appointment to remove the fine stitches and check that the wound is healing properly. Our team will of course be available to you at any time should any questions or problems arise during the healing process. We want to make sure that you feel that you are in good hands with us.

The results of a surgical eyelid lift are long-lasting and usually remain visible for 10 to 15 years. However, as each person is individual, factors such as genetic predisposition, lifestyle and external influences can influence the duration. An unhealthy diet, the consumption of alcohol or nicotine and prolonged stress can accelerate the ageing process and cause the eyelids to sag again. If new excess skin or sagging eyelids occur, a repeat eyelid lift is possible. For slight wrinkles in the eye area, we also offer minimally invasive treatments in our Düsseldorf practice to give your eyes a fresh look.

Thanks to local anesthesia or twilight sleep, you will not feel any pain during the procedure. Temporary swelling and bruising may occur after the operation. We will provide you with suitable painkillers to alleviate any discomfort. You may also experience blurred vision, double vision or a slight itching sensation in your eyes for some time. You will be given special eye drops and ointments to effectively alleviate the symptoms. After a few weeks, these symptoms will subside completely and you will be able to socialize again after around seven days.

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.
1.
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.
2.
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.
3.
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.
4.
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.
5.
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.
