We all want to look fresh, vital and dynamic. The eyes play an important role in this. They are one of the central elements of the face and have a major influence on how we are perceived by others.

The skin around the eyes is particularly thin. The age-related loss of elasticity can cause the upper eyelids to sag and bulge out over the eyes. Once pronounced drooping eyelids have developed, it is almost impossible to conceal them with make-up. The look then appears permanently tired and puffy.

At our practice in Stuttgart, we treat drooping eyelids as part of a short but very effective upper eyelid lift. During this procedure in Stuttgart, we remove excess skin and, if necessary, prolapsed fatty tissue to tighten the upper eyelids and open up the gaze again. The face appears rejuvenated and refreshed overall.

Dr. Lars Schumacher is an experienced specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery in Stuttgart. Dr. Schumacher has been performing sophisticated eyelid lifts for many years and knows exactly how to correct drooping eyelids without losing their natural appearance. Arrange a no-obligation consultation and find out more about upper eyelid lifting in 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?

The costs for an upper eyelid lift in Stuttgart can vary in individual cases, as each procedure is planned individually. 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.

Frequently asked questions about upper eyelid lifting in Stuttgart

The swelling should have largely subsided around 14 days after the eyelid lift in Stuttgart. In the days following the operation, you should cool the eye area extensively, as swelling and bruising can be counteracted in this way.

It takes around 3 - 6 months until healing is complete. Around 3 weeks after the upper eyelid lift, however, the wound healing should already be so far advanced that we can assess the result in Stuttgart.

During drooping eyelid surgery in Stuttgart, two fine scars are created in the two eyelid folds. These are not visible when the eyes are open and usually heal so inconspicuously that they are barely noticeable in everyday life. During your stay in Stuttgart, we will provide you with detailed instructions for scar care, which will also help to improve the appearance of the scars.

Drooping eyelid surgery is a low-pain treatment that is not expected to cause any serious discomfort afterwards. The operation itself is performed under anesthesia and is therefore not associated with pain. In the event that slight soreness occurs after the eyelid lift, we will prescribe you a painkiller. You can take this at home as required.
