Eyelid surgery | Blepharoplasty

Basic characteristics

• drooping or drooping upper eyelids
• swelling of the lower eyelids
• Hyperpigmentation

The course of eyelid correction and the duration of the procedure

The operation takes about an hour, under sedation, under local anaesthesia. We end it by loading the bandage for a few hours.

After the procedure

The postoperative course is painless. The stitches are removed one week after surgery. In the meantime, the convalescence lasts. The condition will be corrected within 3 – 6 months.

Risks

• minor swelling
• bruises – can last for 2 weeks and can be covered with make-up

  Further information

Blepharoplasty addresses deformities – mainly swelling and discolouration of the skin. In addition, genetic and racial factors also influence eye shape. Therefore, blepharoplasty is a very common type of surgery and as with all aesthetic surgeries, women predominate. However, the number of men who want to address their under-eye bags and have overcome their fear of surgery has increased radically.
