Before upper eyelid blepharoplasty, we first take a lot of time for a detailed consultation. The focus is on your individual aesthetic goals and wishes. Our specialists will then present the available options to you in detail and develop a customized treatment plan together with you.
The upper eyelid lift is an outpatient procedure, so you can leave our clinic in Berlin after around three hours. A general anesthetic is not usually necessary, a local anesthetic is usually sufficient. However, the procedure can also be performed in twilight sleep if you want to experience as little of the operation as possible. Our experienced specialists make the few necessary incisions in such a way that the resulting fine scars lie in the crease of the upper eyelid and are therefore barely noticeable later on.
Before you leave our clinic, we will give you prescriptions for painkillers, an antibiotic ointment and eye drops if necessary, as well as important information for aftercare at home. Approximately one week later, we can remove the stitches and check the progress of the healing process once again.
Even though this is a surgical procedure in the sensitive eye area, the risks associated with an upper eyelid lift performed by our specialists in Berlin are very low. Depending on the type of anesthesia, the anesthesia may cause slight side effects, and the procedure itself may cause minor swelling and hematomas as well as a slight feeling of tension in the eyelids. Occasionally, increased sensitivity to light or slight visual blurring may occur, but this quickly subsides.
We will provide you with detailed information and preparations for aftercare at home. In combination with cold compresses, most of the symptoms will disappear within the first week so that you will soon be able to socialize and go about your daily life again. Afterwards, you should avoid physical exertion and make-up for about two more weeks.
The aim of an Asian eyelid lift (also known as double eyelid surgery) is not to remove drooping eyelids or wrinkles in the eye area – on the contrary: many people of Asian origin have no or only a slightly pronounced eyelid crease, which can make the eyes appear smaller and sleepy. Asian eyelid surgery surgically creates or enhances this crease. This makes the eyes appear larger and more alert.
This procedure is often combined with a so-called epicanthoplasty, in which the epicanthal fold in the inner corner of the eye is removed, thus widening it.
The main causes of drooping eyelids are the sagging of the connective tissue and the decline in collagen production with increasing age. Genetic influences also play an important role – especially if the phenomenon occurs in young people.
However, your own lifestyle can also promote the development of drooping eyelids: Above all, you should avoid nicotine, a high stress level and high UV exposure.
By removing the excess tissue, wrinkles in the upper eye area are automatically reduced to a certain extent. For an even greater effect, our experts in Berlin can also combine the upper eyelid lift with a mini facelift in the upper face area. This allows you to further rejuvenate the appearance of your face in a single appointment. We would be happy to advise you in more detail on the details of this combination treatment during a no-obligation consultation.
It is not only the upper eyelids that are affected by age and gravity – they also leave their mark below the eye in the form of dark circles and pronounced bags under the eyes. A very similar operation can also provide a remedy here. Together with an upper eyelid lift, amazing rejuvenation effects are possible!
As with any major skin incision, scarring can often not be completely avoided with an upper eyelid lift. However, thanks to the experience of our experts in Berlin and careful aftercare, hardly anything more than wafer-thin lines remain. As this is also located in the fold of the eyelid, there are practically no visible traces of the procedure.
In our experience, with a healthy lifestyle, the results of an eyelid lift last for around ten to fifteen years, as the procedure cannot stop the natural ageing process and the influence of gravity. However, a repeat upper eyelid lift at Aesthetify in Berlin can be performed at any time without any problems.
If the operation is performed by experts such as Aesthetify, there is usually no risk of lasting damage to the eye, as the eyeball is not operated on, but only the eyelid. Although the eye may become slightly irritated temporarily, there is no risk of long-term damage.
