Eyelid Lift

The little facelift - for a fresh look

Upper Eyelid Tightening


An upper eyelid tightening, also known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure that aims to improve the appearance of the upper eyelids. Excess skin, fat, and possibly muscle tissue are removed to achieve a younger and fresher appearance.


An important aspect is that in some cases, excess skin can restrict vision. By tightening the upper eyelids, the field of vision can be expanded and complaints such as headaches can be reduced. With age, the upper eyelids can sag, which often leads to a tired or sad expression. Genetic factors can also lead to pronounced skin folds or fat accumulations in the eye area.


Upper eyelid tightening can improve both the aesthetic appearance and the functionality of the eyelids. However, it is crucial to have the procedure performed by an experienced plastic surgeon to achieve the best results.


Lower Eyelid Tightening


A lower eyelid tightening is a surgical procedure that aims to improve the appearance of the lower eyelids. With increasing age, the skin under the eyes can sag and form wrinkles, which often leads to a tired or less fresh appearance.


The procedure removes excess skin and can also remove or reposition fat pads that accumulate under the eyes. This not only improves the aesthetic appearance but can also achieve a fresher and more youthful appearance.


Some patients naturally have pronounced tear bags or wrinkles under the eyes, and in certain cases, excess skin can even impair vision. A lower eyelid tightening can help in such cases to optimize both the functionality and appearance of the lower eyelids.


Browlift / Temple Lift


A temple lift, also known as temporal facelifting or browlifting, is a surgical procedure that aims to tighten and rejuvenate the upper half of the face, particularly the temple and eye area. With increasing age, the skin can lose elasticity, which often leads to a sagging appearance.


The main goal of the temple lift is to lift the drooping eyebrow tip again. This minimizes the pressure on the outer eyelid, which leads to an alert-looking gaze. In addition, the procedure can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes.

Frequently Asked Questions about Eyelid Tightening

Before an elective surgical procedure, we recommend having a blood test and an ECG performed about 2 weeks in advance. You can schedule these with your family doctor or at our Plastic & Aesthetic Surgery Clinic. Please also refrain from blood-thinning medications such as aspirin 4 weeks before the surgery and reduce your consumption of alcohol and nicotine to support your health.
An upper eyelid tightening can usually be performed under local anesthesia. However, if combined with a lower eyelid tightening or a browlift, we recommend a short general anesthesia for optimal comfort.
The upper eyelid tightening takes about 45 minutes. If the procedure is combined with a lower eyelid tightening or a browlift, the duration is extended by another approximately 45 minutes.
After the procedure, you should stay in our practice for observation for about 2-3 hours. During this time, a special cooling mask will be applied to reduce swelling and hematomas. For a combination procedure, a postoperative stay is recommended.
After an eyelid tightening, it is important to rest the eyes. Avoid using smartphones, reading, and watching TV in the first few days. Sleep upright and cool regularly. You should avoid sports and sauna for about 3-4 weeks. The sutures are usually removed after 7 days.
The first results are already visible immediately after the procedure. After about 2-3 weeks, swelling and hematomas have usually subsided. Only a fine scar on the eyelids remains, which will hardly be visible after a few weeks.
After removing the bandages and sutures, most patients are socially acceptable again after just a few days. However, it is recommended to rest physically in the first two weeks to support healing.
