We all want a fresh and clear look that positively engages our fellow human beings. However, if the eye area appears puffy, the opposite impression is created. One cause of permanently tired and puffy eyes is bags under the eyes, which can form due to age or congenital factors, for example. Pronounced bags under the eyes cause the eye area to appear constantly tired and tired, even if this is not the case.
If you would like to have annoying bags under the eyes removed, a lower eyelid lift in Stuttgart can be useful to rejuvenate the eye area in the long term. A lower eyelid lift is a short outpatient procedure in which excess skin as well as fat and fluid deposits are removed from the eyelid region. The lower eyelid is gently tightened in Stuttgart so that the lower eye area appears fresher and more even overall.
During a lower eyelid lift in Stuttgart, the incisions are made close to the lower lash line so that no noticeable scars remain later. If necessary, a lower eyelid lift in Stuttgart can also be combined with an upper eyelid lift to remove drooping eyelids. You are welcome to make an appointment at our practice in Stuttgart for a no-obligation lower eyelid lift consultation.
How does a lower eyelid lift in Stuttgart work?
Before your lower eyelid lift, we invite you to a detailed consultation in Stuttgart. Dr. Schumacher will assess the condition of the skin in the lower eyelid region and explain the possible treatment options to you. Your lower eyelid correction will then be planned individually so that we can achieve very precise and natural results. The lower eyelid lift in Stuttgart is usually performed on an outpatient basis under a short anesthetic or in twilight sleep. A lower eyelid lift can also be performed under general anesthesia on request. To remove the bags under the eyes, a short incision is required on both sides. This runs close to the eyelid margin and should no longer be noticeable after healing. Dr. Schumacher removes prolapsed fatty tissue and excess skin to gently tighten the lower eyelids. After the lower eyelid lift in Stuttgart, the wounds are sutured with fine sutures. After a short recovery period, you can return home, but should continue to take it easy at home. Regular check-ups ensure that no complications occur during the healing process.
What should be considered after a lower eyelid lift?
After the lower eyelid lift in Stuttgart, you should refrain from sport and intensive physical work for 1 - 2 weeks. Light work and household activities can usually be resumed after a few days. To counteract the initial swelling, you should cool the treatment area thoroughly and sleep with your upper body slightly elevated if possible. The stitches are removed in Stuttgart around one week after the eyelid lift. If possible, you should not wear make-up until this time. If you wear contact lenses, we recommend switching to glasses for a few days.
What are the risks of a lower eyelid lift?
Like any operation, a lower eyelid lift is associated with certain general risks. For example, infections, secondary bleeding or wound healing disorders can occur in some cases. If performed incorrectly, there is also a risk of too much tissue being removed and problems with eyelid closure occurring after the operation. The experience and qualifications of the treating doctor are therefore of the utmost importance. In our practice in Stuttgart, all procedures are carried out in accordance with strict hygiene standards. You will also be treated by Dr. Lars Schumacher, an experienced surgeon who has been performing eyelid lifts for more than 20 years. This means that we can offer you a high level of treatment safety for your lower eyelid lift in Stuttgart. The expected side effects include swelling, redness and occasional hematomas. The flow of tears may also be temporarily increased. Even if the lower eyelids protrude slightly immediately after the eyelid lift, this is initially no cause for concern. These side effects should subside during the healing process.
How much does a lower eyelid lift cost?
The cost of a lower eyelid lift in Stuttgart depends on the extent of the treatment. Dr. Schumacher plans each lower eyelid correction individually, so he must first get to know your specific situation in order to calculate the costs for your eyelid lift. You are welcome to arrange a non-binding consultation and let us know your wishes. You will then receive a detailed cost estimate.
