Eyelid lift Stuttgart

What is an eyelid lift?

During an eyelid lift, excess skin is surgically removed from the eyelid. This procedure can be performed on the upper eyelid (upper eyelid lift) to correct drooping eyelids and on the lower eyelid (lower eyelid lift) to minimize bags under the eyes.

Who is an eyelid lift in Stuttgart suitable for?

An eyelid lift is a suitable treatment for people who are unhappy with their drooping eyelids or bags under the eyes and would like to have them corrected. However, an eyelid lift is not recommended if you have certain eye diseases or are taking certain medications. This is why a personal consultation is very important, during which you can discuss the various options with Dr. Schumacher and together find the best possible treatment for you.

What should be considered before an eyelid lift in Stuttgart?

Please inform us in good time about any pre-existing conditions (including allergies and intolerances) and whether or which medication you take regularly.

How does an eyelid lift in Stuttgart work?

The first step is a detailed personal consultation with Dr. Schumacher, in which you tell him how you imagine your eye area and what changes you would like to see. Dr. Schumacher will advise you on which treatment is best suited to achieve your wishes. He will explain the exact procedure to you, inform you about possible risks and what results you can expect from this treatment.

The eyelid lift in Stuttgart itself is usually performed on an outpatient basis and takes around 30-60 minutes (depending on the type of eyelid lift and the extent of the treatment). The treatment area is anesthetized locally beforehand. As soon as this takes effect, Dr. Schumacher makes the appropriate incisions: either along the eyelid creases (upper eyelid lift) or below the edge of the eyelid (lower eyelid lift), where the incision runs along the lash line. Excess skin and bulging fatty tissue are then removed and finally the incisions are carefully sutured. The eyelid lift in Stuttgart can also be performed under twilight sleep or general anesthesia if desired.

You can leave our practice in Stuttgart after the treatment, but you are not allowed to drive again due to the temporary restriction of your vision. Allow yourself and your eyes to rest for a few days before returning to work. Please also follow our further instructions for aftercare in order to support the healing process and the treatment result in the best possible way.

What should be considered after an eyelid lift in Stuttgart?

Immediately after the treatment, there may be slight swelling and minor bruising in the eye area, which you can conceal with a little make-up. These usually subside on their own after a few days. You can support and accelerate this by carefully cooling the affected area. Please sleep with your upper body elevated for the first few days after treatment and refrain from sport and other physical exertion for the first 1-2 weeks.

What are the risks of an eyelid lift?

Thanks to his extensive expertise and decades of experience, an eyelid lift in Stuttgart is a routine procedure for Dr. Schumacher that is associated with few risks. Nevertheless, as with all operations, complications such as post-operative bleeding or wound healing disorders can occur. Infections are also possible, although the risk of this is minimized by adhering to the highest standards of hygiene. After the eyelid lift, slight swelling or bruising may occur in the area around the eyes. There may also be a temporary feeling of slight pressure or tension and blurred vision. However, all of these side effects usually disappear after a short time.
