We distinguish between the surgical correction of the upper and lower eyelids.
At the upper eyelids, age or genetics can lead to drooping lids, where excess skin may even impair the field of vision.
Additionally, small fat pads from the eye socket can protrude, making the lids appear heavier.
A surgical correction of the upper eyelid is medically referred to as upper blepharoplasty.
If the lower eyelid develops eye bags due to skin laxity and protruding fat, we perform a lower blepharoplasty to restore a firm, youthful appearance.
The upper eyelid lift is one of the most frequently performed facial rejuvenation procedures.
When the upper lids sag significantly, some patients even attempt to hold them up with tape.
This simple surgical procedure delivers a remarkable rejuvenating effect with a barely visible scar when the incision is placed correctly.
It can also include a slight brow lift for an enhanced aesthetic outcome.
In a lower eyelid correction, minimal skin is removed, focusing instead on tightening deeper tissues and removing protruding fat from the eye socket.
As a result, eye bags are visibly reduced, and the face looks fresher and more awake.
The incision runs just below the lash line, making it nearly invisible after healing.
During an upper eyelid lift, excess skin and fat are removed under local anesthesia to achieve a lasting and natural rejuvenation.
A lower eyelid lift involves gentle tightening of the lower tissues through a skin-muscle flap technique.
Both procedures can be combined for a more comprehensive result.

An upper eyelid lift is usually not covered by health insurance.
However, if a severe drooping of the lids causes visual field restriction and an ophthalmologist confirms it, a reimbursement request can be submitted.
Swelling typically decreases significantly within the first week after surgery.
Gentle lymphatic massage supports healing and reduces swelling faster.
In rare cases, mild swelling may persist for up to six months but will gradually subside.
Sutures are removed after 7 days.
Residual swelling usually decreases over the following week.
After 14 days, gentle massages can promote lymphatic drainage and prevent persistent puffiness.
Many non-surgical options on the market promise improvement but rarely provide lasting results.
Experience shows that patients often return after unsatisfactory outcomes.
Surgical eyelid correction remains the most effective and long-lasting method for rejuvenating the eye area.
