Upper eyelid lift Stuttgart

What is the procedure for an upper eyelid lift in Stuttgart?

Before drooping eyelid surgery, Dr. Schumacher will explain all the details of the procedure to you in a consultation at our practice in Stuttgart. You will learn exactly how the incision will be made and what results you can expect from an upper eyelid lift. You will also be fully informed about the risks and aftercare following an upper eyelid lift. The upper eyelid lift in Stuttgart itself only takes about half an hour. The procedure can usually be performed under local anesthesia. The incision is marked on the eyelids before the upper eyelid lift. To remove the drooping eyelids, Dr. Schumacher makes a short incision directly in the crease of the eyelid. Here, the fine scars are not noticeable later. Excess skin and fatty tissue are removed and the surgical wounds are re-stitched with fine sutures. The downtime after an upper eyelid lift in Stuttgart is usually limited. After just a few days, you should be able to carry out your professional and private obligations as usual. Only intensive physical exertion should be postponed a little longer.

What needs to be considered after an upper eyelid lift?

After your upper eyelid lift in Stuttgart, you can usually go straight home, but you should rest at home for a few days. To reduce swelling, it can be helpful to sleep with your upper body elevated and to cool the eye area extensively. You should avoid sport and other strenuous activities for at least 1 - 2 weeks. Strong head movements, overhead work and direct sunlight should also be avoided in the initial period after the upper eyelid lift in Stuttgart. If you wear contact lenses, we recommend switching to glasses temporarily.

What are the risks of drooping eyelid surgery?

As with any surgery, complications such as inflammation, post-operative bleeding or wound healing disorders can occur in rare cases with upper eyelid lift surgery. There is also a risk that the results may be aesthetically unsatisfactory or even cause problems with eyelid closure if the procedure is performed incorrectly. An eyelid lift should therefore always be performed by a specialist with many years of experience. Possible side effects of an upper eyelid lift include swelling, bruising, blurred vision and slight feelings of pressure or tension. However, all of these symptoms should subside within a few days with cooling. If this is not the case or if you have any questions about the healing process, we are always available in Stuttgart after your upper eyelid lift. We also carry out regular check-ups in our practice in Stuttgart after your upper eyelid lift to ensure that the wound is healing without complications.

How much does an upper eyelid lift cost in Stuttgart?

If you are considering drooping eyelid surgery, we would therefore be happy to invite you to a non-binding consultation at our practice in Stuttgart. After Dr. Schumacher has got to know your exact wishes and expectations, he can give you specific information about the costs of your upper eyelid lift.
