Before upper eyelid correction, our doctors mark how much skin will be removed and where the incisions will be made on the awake patient.

Local anesthesia is sufficient for the operation. The doctor then makes incisions in the natural skin folds of the upper eyelid, approximately parallel to the eyebrow arch, and removes a skin strip a few millimeters wide.

Sometimes, removing only loose skin is enough to achieve the desired rejuvenation effect. In other cases, the surgeon will also take fat pockets and some muscle tissue to achieve the desired tightening. After achieving the desired tightening, the wound is closed with a fine thread and a special bandage is applied over it. The stitches are removed four to five days later.

As a rule, upper eyelid correction is uncomplicated when performed by a well-trained and experienced surgeon. However, complications can never be completely disregarded.

Bruising around the eyes after the procedure - "bruises" are normal and can be concealed with sunglasses in the first week and then with special makeup (camouflage). Rarely, large bruises or bleeding that need to be absorbed occur. The delicate skin of the eyelids is prone to swelling; Cold applications and decongestants can help here. Conjunctival irritation usually resolves on its own. Upper eyelid correction usually only leaves thin, barely visible scars. If you are prone to visible scars, you should massage the eyelid incision area twice a day with scar cream from the 14th day onwards for about 6 months.

Overcorrection can lead to problems with eyelid closure or tear production. If there is no improvement in eyelid closure in the first few weeks and months after surgery, further correction may be necessary. "Artificial tears" help with dry eyes.

Intensive cooling is done with ice packs to prevent swelling after the operation. The cast is removed the day after the operation and the doctor removes the stitches on the 5th day.

More care with Bepanthen eye ointment, 4 days of cooling, and antibiotic protection. This means that the patient can return to their professional and social life after 8 days. During this time, you should wear sunglasses and, if possible, go on vacation.

There can also be a significant amount of excess skin on the lower eyelid, which is removed during lower eyelid lift surgery. The cause of eye bags is the lymph-filled fat tissue under the eyes, which must be constantly removed for a good result. Especially men over 50 often want their lower eyelids corrected.

Short anesthesia is recommended for lower eyelid correction. Because some of our doctors work with a microscope. Even the slightest movement of the patient will disrupt their work. The incision is made microscopically just below the eyelashes and inward from the outer corner of the eye, so that it is not visible later if it heals well.

The eyelid skin is then lifted and the cause of the correction is removed. Eye bags are lymph-filled fat masses formed with age and must be removed for a good result.

The doctor then sews the wound with a fine thread and provides it with a special wound bandage that can only be removed one or two days later. The patient's stitches are removed on the fourth day after surgery.

If the doctor removes too much skin from the lower eyelid, eyelid drooping remains, which can be corrected with appropriate treatment within a few months. Advanced surgical interventions should be carried out if necessary.
