Upper eyelid lift in Berlin
by Aesthetify
An alert and friendly look is the key to a pleasant appearance. However, the natural ageing process can cause the eyelids to sag and droop as so-called “drooping eyelids”. This makes the eyes look tired and powerless, and can even restrict the field of vision. With an upper eyelid lift, our experts in Berlin can remove excess tissue and reduce wrinkles around the upper eye area at the same time.
Upper eyelid lift at a glance
Upper eyelid lift with Aesthetify in Berlin
An upper eyelid lift – medically known as an upper eyelid blepharoplasty – is a minor, outpatient procedure with a major effect. At our clinic in Berlin, experienced specialists perform the treatment and achieve a very natural result that gives your eyes new freshness and openness.
Technology
During an upper eyelid lift, excess skin is gently removed from the upper eyelid. If necessary, we also reduce small fat deposits to make the eye area look even clearer and younger. Depending on the findings, our team works with modern laser technology or a particularly fine scalpel. Both procedures enable precise correction that leaves barely visible fine lines. The result is a fresh, alert appearance with scars that are as inconspicuous as possible.
For a particularly harmonious result, the treatment can be combined with a mini-facelift in the upper part of the face if required – including a slight lift of the outer eyebrow area.
Double Eyelid Surgery
In Berlin, we also offer what is known as double eyelid surgery. This is an Asian upper eyelid lift that is not aimed at removing drooping eyelids or wrinkles in the eye region – 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.
Treatment procedure
- The consultation
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 intervention
Before the procedure, you can decide whether a local anaesthetic is sufficient or whether you would prefer to be put into twilight sleep. Our experienced specialists will then make the few necessary incisions so precisely that the resulting fine scars lie in the crease of the upper eyelid and are therefore barely noticeable later on.
- The result
The upper eyelid lift is an outpatient procedure, so you can leave our clinic in Berlin after around three hours. Beforehand, however, you will receive prescriptions for painkillers, an antibiotic ointment and, if necessary, eye drops and 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. The final result will be visible in three to six months if everything has healed well.

Interesting facts about upper eyelid lifting
How do drooping eyelids develop?
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.
An all-round blow against wrinkles?
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.
Also possible: lower eyelid lift
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!
Risks and healing process
The risks of an upper eyelid lift are very low thanks to our experienced specialists in Berlin. Slight swelling, bruising or a feeling of tightness are possible, but these usually subside after a few days. Temporary sensitivity to light or slight blurring of vision may also occur, but these quickly disappear.
With appropriate aftercare and cooling compresses, most patients are socially acceptable again after around a week. Make-up and physical exertion such as sport should be avoided for around two weeks.

FAQ
Will scars remain after the operation?
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.
Does eyelid correction have to be repeated regularly?
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 is possible at any time.
Is there a risk of long-term visual impairment?
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.
