Alert, open eyes contribute significantly to a positive appearance and attitude. The upper eyelid lift is one of the most frequently performed aesthetic operations. The operation can be performed with minimal incisions in the area of the eyelids natural fold wich therefore is only leaving scarcely visible scars. At the same time, the positive effect of an upper eyelid lift is very pronounced. The procedure results in a more open and alert eye, which creates a younger appearance. In addition, the field of vision can be expanded.

Drooping upper eyelids can have different causes, such as genetic predisposition. But the natural aging process and the associated increasing loss of elasticity and resilience in this area can also cause the upper eyelids to droop and the field of vision to be impaired. During an eyelid lift, the excess skin and fat tissue is removed through an incision in the eyelid crease and, if necessary, the muscles in this area can be tightened.

As with all surgical procedures, a eyelid lift involves certain risks that cannot be ruled out. A distinction must be made here between the general risks of general anesthesia, intolerance to medication, including local anesthesia, and the specific risks of a eyelid lift.
In addition to the general risks of an operation, the following specific risks are to be assessed as increased in an eyelid lift operation:
Patients can start to workout and follow sporting activities after 4 weeks.
After one week patients can go back to work and, unless they work in a physically demanding field, are able to work again.
Immediately after the procedure, swelling and hematoma can occur to varying degrees. These should completely recede within two weeks. Cooling of the operated area after the operation can reduce the swelling to a minimum. The final result can be assessed after about four weeks. Sufficient sun protection should be used to avoid pigment disorders in the newly formed eyelid fold.
A hospital stay of one day is expected for this surgery. The operation takes 1-1,5 hours.
