The skin and the volume under the skin are subject to the natural ageing process. Elasticity and resilience decrease over the years, which can lead to excess skin in the eyelid area, which manifests itself as a drooping eyelid. This makes the eyes look small and the gaze always tired. In addition to this aesthetic flaw, many sufferers also feel that their field of vision is restricted or even suffer from skin irritation due to overhanging eyelid folds. Indications for an upper eyelid lift at our clinic in Düsseldorf can be both aesthetic and medical in nature. The aim is to restore a natural, clear, fresh eyelid contour and reduce functional restrictions or discomfort – always with a focus on preserving individual facial expressions.
Before the upper eyelid lift, your surgeon will ask you about any complaints and your aesthetic goals. We will inform you about the procedure, costs and aftercare. After disinfection and sterile draping of the surgical site, the excess skin to be removed is precisely marked. Blepharoplasty is usually performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. The surgeon makes precise, fine incisions along the marking to remove fatty tissue and excess skin. The incisions are placed in the crease of the eyelid and are barely visible after the healing phase. Fine sutures for wound closure are removed after five to seven days. The procedure takes around 60 minutes. After a short monitoring phase, you can leave the clinic after a total of around three hours.
It is not always just the upper eyelid that is affected by excess skin. The drooping eyelid is often accompanied by dark circles or bags under the eyes, which make the face appear older than it actually is. If this is the case, an upper eyelid lift at Aesthetify in Düsseldorf can be combined with a lower eyelid correction. This involves removing excess skin and fat deposits under the eyes to visually rejuvenate the eye area. An upper eyelid lift can also be combined with a facelift if the tightening effect is intended to rejuvenate not only the eye area but the entire face.
Although blepharoplasty is a comparatively minor surgical procedure, it requires the utmost precision and surgical skill in order to achieve an aesthetic and virtually scar-free result. At our private clinic, the operation is performed by surgeons with many years of experience who specialize in the sensitive anatomy of the eye region.
Our team not only impresses with its expertise, but also with individual and detailed advice according to your wishes and ideas. We examine anatomical and medical aspects down to the smallest detail in order to plan the procedure optimally and carry it out successfully. Our aim is to achieve a harmonious, natural result and an eye area that emphasizes your personality.
For this purpose, we rely on state-of-the-art surgical techniques, gentle anesthesia methods and proven aftercare concepts for upper eyelid lift surgery at our clinic in Düsseldorf to ensure the highest level of safety and quality.
The upper eyelid lift at our private clinic in Düsseldorf is performed under local anesthesia so that you will not feel any pain during the procedure. After the operation, our team will give you prescriptions for painkillers and an antibiotic ointment to support the healing process as much as possible and alleviate any pain.
Redness, tightness and swelling may occur after an upper eyelid lift – this is nothing to worry about. In most cases, the discomfort subsides one to two weeks after the procedure. Regular cooling of the eye area and elevated positioning of the head can promote healing and pain relief. Patients are usually able to socialize again after about a week.
The eyes are the first eye-catcher on the face. A common question we are asked before an upper eyelid lift at Aesthetify in Düsseldorf is: Will there be any visible scars after the procedure? Of course, no operation is possible without scars – however, our specialists place the fine incisions in the eyelid crease in such a way that they are almost invisible later on. You therefore do not have to worry about any noticeable scars after blepharoplasty.
We recommend temporarily avoiding contact lenses after an upper eyelid correction and using glasses instead. After about a week, the healing phase will have progressed to the point where you can use contact lenses again. Your treating surgeon at Aesthetify in Düsseldorf will give you instructions on this – individual recommendations may vary depending on the type of procedure and other factors.
An initial improvement in the aesthetics of the eye area and the restricted field of vision can usually be seen immediately after the operation. However, the eye area may be marked by swelling at this time, which is why the final effect can only be seen after the healing phase and fading of the scars, i.e. after around eight weeks.
As a rule, the tightened and rejuvenated effect of the eye area after an upper eyelid lift at our clinic in Düsseldorf lasts for several years. The durability of the result is influenced by factors such as diet and skin care as well as the change in skin elasticity and firmness that comes with increasing age. If you are no longer satisfied with the appearance of your eye area after a few years, the procedure can be repeated.
No, an upper eyelid lift at Aesthetify in Düsseldorf does not require an inpatient stay. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis. You will stay in our private clinic for around three hours on the day of the operation, and the procedure itself takes around 60 minutes.
