Upper eyelid lift with Aesthetify in Düsseldorf

Minor procedure, major effect: an upper eyelid lift can give you a fresher appearance and noticeably better quality of life. Find out here in which cases the procedure makes sense and how the treatment is carried out at our clinic in Düsseldorf.

Reasons for an upper eyelid lift

Over the years, the skin loses elasticity and resilience, which also affects the eyelid area. This can cause excess skin to form, which becomes visible as a drooping eyelid. This makes the eyes appear smaller and the gaze more tired. However, it is not only the aesthetic aspect that plays a role: many people affected feel that their field of vision is restricted or suffer from skin irritation due to overhanging eyelid folds. An upper eyelid lift at our clinic in Düsseldorf can therefore be useful for both aesthetic and medical reasons. The aim of the treatment is to achieve a harmonious eyelid contour that refreshes the appearance and alleviates functional complaints – without changing the individual’s expressiveness.

Treatment procedure at Aesthetify in Düsseldorf

  1. Consultation: Before the upper eyelid lift, the treating surgeon will discuss your complaints and aesthetic wishes with you. You will receive all the important information about the procedure, costs and aftercare.
  2. Preparation: The surgical site is carefully disinfected and sterilely draped. The excess skin to be removed is then precisely marked.
  3. Procedure: Blepharoplasty is usually performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. Fine incisions are made along the markings to remove excess skin and fatty tissue – placed inconspicuously in the natural crease of the eyelid. The procedure takes around 60 minutes.
  4. Aftercare: After a short monitoring phase, you can leave the clinic after a total of around three hours. The fine sutures are removed after five to seven days.

Upper eyelid lift: Things to know about the operation in Düsseldorf

Anesthesia and pain

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.

Aftercare

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.

Scars

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.

Combination treatments

It is not always just the upper eyelids that are affected by excess skin. Often, drooping eyelids are accompanied by dark circles or bags under the eyes, which make the face look 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. A combination with a facelift is also possible for an overall rejuvenated appearance.

FAQ

Can I wear contact lenses after an upper eyelid lift?

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.
