Eyelid lift
It is said that the eyes are the gateway to the soul. Over time, however, they may no longer reflect exactly how young we still feel and are. A professionally performed eyelid lift effectively counteracts signs of aging and ensures that your eyes become the radiant focal point of your face again.
No inpatient stay is required for an eyelid lift! Especially in the current situation, many of our patients want outpatient treatment without staying overnight. The eyelid lift is low-risk, done quickly and does not require general anesthesia. So you can go back home the same day.
What is an eyelid lift?
What is an eyelid lift?
Who does not know it? The advancing age is particularly noticeable in the eyes. Wrinkles, furrows, dark circles under the eyes and drooping eyelids are the consequences. However, not only natural aging processes are responsible for this. Other causes include:
• UV light
⦁ Stress
⦁ Smoking
⦁ Individual genetics
But there is a remedy: A lid lift can treat signs of aging in the area around the eyes. Excess skin and fat are removed or redistributed.
Droopy upper eyelids are often associated with fatigue and advanced age. An eyelid lift is usually performed for aesthetic reasons. A very pronounced excess of skin on the upper eyelids is often referred to as “drooping eyelids”. The field of vision can also be limited. Then an upper eyelid lift should also be performed for medical reasons.
Often referred to as “bags under your eyes,” swollen lower eyelids can make you look sad, tired, or even sick. The same applies to dark circles. A treatment of this eye area is accordingly referred to as a lower eyelid lift.
