Blepharoplasty
Home » Blepharoplasty
An eyelid lift (also called blepharoplasty) is a surgical procedure to correct sagging or drooping eyelids. It can be performed for both aesthetic and medical reasons—for example, when the upper eyelid droops so droopy that it impairs the field of vision.

🔍 Types of Eyelid Lift

Upper Eyelid Lift (Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty)

  • Removal of excess skin, fat, and possibly muscle tissue from the upper eyelid.
  • Goal: More alert, younger-looking eyes and, if necessary, improvement of the field of vision.

Lower Eyelid Lift (Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty)

  • Treatment of bags under the eyes or excess skin under the eyes.
  • Muscle tightening or redistribution of fatty tissue is possible.

🛠 Procedure

  • Duration: approx. 1–2 hours
  • Anesthesia: usually local anesthesia with twilight sleep; General anesthesia is also available upon request

Incision:

  • Upper eyelid: in the natural crease
  • Lower eyelid: just below the lash line or from the inside (transconjunctival)
  • Suture removal: after approximately 5–7 days

⏱️ Healing time & aftercare

  • Swelling & bruising: often in the first 7–10 days
  • Socially acceptable: usually after 1–2 weeks
  • Sports, makeup, contact lenses: after 2–3 weeks at the earliest
  • Final result: visible after approximately 2–3 months

⚠️ Risks & side effects

  • Swelling, bruising, dry eyes
  • Infections, scarring
  • Asymmetries or eyelid misalignment (rare)
  • Very rare: visual disturbances

💰 Costs

  • Aesthetic eyelid lift: €2,000–€4,000 (usually paid privately)
  • Medically necessary surgery (e.g., restricted field of vision): costs may be covered by health insurance after an ophthalmological assessment

✅ Suitability & Advice

Good Candidates:

  • Healthy people without serious eye diseases
  • Realistic expectations
  • Stable skin and eyelid structure
A detailed consultation with a specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery is essential
