Drooping eyelids, the so-called drooping eyelids, can be effectively corrected using an upper eyelid lift. Drooping eyelids are upper eyelids in which the movable part of the eyelid is covered by drooping skin and is no longer or hardly visible. As a result, the eye appears much smaller and sometimes compressed, which often gives the patient a tired and exhausted impression. This can be remedied by a form of eyelid lifting, drooping eyelid surgery, which is one of the comparatively smallest procedures and has only a low complication rate. Nevertheless, this is by no means a banal or even simple surgical procedure.

An optimal healing process is important for a natural result of your upper eyelid correction. The body is stopped by its natural self-healing mechanism, in case of an injury, the wound is quickly closed again. Often scars are the resulting signs, which should be counteracted by an optimal healing process after upper eyelid correction. A lot of rest after the upper eyelid lift promotes healing and cooling of swellings and also relieves pain, all of which are unavoidable after the procedure. For the optimal healing process after the upper eyelid correction, small instructions or rules of conduct are important for the first days at home. Therefore, we give you advice on what to consider when sleeping, handling sunlight, using make-up, computer and TV, wearing contact lenses and sports activities in order to promote an optimal healing process after an upper eyelid lift.
After a short healing period of a few weeks, the swelling and the clear signs of the surgery have disappeared. Expert planning of the incision in the natural crease of the eyelid, the microsurgical surgical technique and the adequate aftercare with ice cooling and the necessary medication help to make the result of the upper eyelid lift invisible to the surroundings.

Although the methods for upper eyelid lifting are very varied, thanks to research and further development of techniques and equipment in recent years, upper eyelid correction is on the whole one of the low-risk procedures in the facial area. It is very important to us that you enjoy plenty of rest immediately after the upper eyelid lift. At the same time, you should also ensure that swellings, which are unavoidable after an operation, are cooled in order to relieve any pain that may occur. Normal accompanying symptoms after an upper eyelid lift can be slight redness, swelling, temporary discomfort or headaches. In individual cases, a muscle slackening of the eyelid is possible, which will disappear within a very short time. It is also possible that the eye does not close completely in the first few days, which is normal and we will observe and treat it as part of the aftercare. A permanent disruption of eyelid closure has never occurred with our patients before and, with the appropriate experience and exact planning of the incision, can be completely excluded as a risk factor. Discolouration, wound pain or bleeding cannot be ruled out completely with the surgical treatment methods of upper eyelid lifting. They also do not represent a permanent complication or risk, as they disappear after a few days and do not leave any permanent impairment.
The microsurgical operation technique is important for minimizing the risks of your upper eyelid lift, through thorough preparation for the operation, the correct diagnosis during an extensive consultation with careful examination, as well as meticulous care and aftercare.
