Upper eyelid lift in Leipzig – Fresh and alert look
As we age, our skin loses elasticity, which is especially noticeable on the delicate eyelids. The upper eyelids, in particular, can sag, and drooping eyelids can develop, making your eyes appear tired and sad—even though you may not feel that way.
An upper eyelid lift in Leipzig offers you the opportunity to remove those annoying drooping eyelids and restore a fresh and radiant look to your eyes. The procedure is quick, outpatient, and involves minimal downtime.
Who is an upper eyelid lift suitable for?
An upper eyelid lift is suitable for anyone suffering from drooping, excessive upper eyelids and who desires a fresh, awake appearance. Removing droopy eyelids can not only improve your outward appearance but also eliminate any obstructions to your field of vision or skin irritation.
If you are also considering a lower eyelid lift to rejuvenate the eye area overall, Dr. Graß will discuss with you whether a combined treatment makes sense.
Advantages of upper eyelid surgery
An upper eyelid lift in Leipzig is a quick, painless procedure that is often performed without general Anesthesia. Precise incisions along the eyelid crease minimize scarring, and the results are long-lasting and natural. Your eyes will appear fresher and more awake without altering your facial features.
The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, so you can leave the practice after a short recovery period. The risks are minimal, and most patients are able to return to social activities quickly.
Procedure for upper eyelid lift in Leipzig
Preparation
Before the upper eyelid lift in Leipzig, Dr. Graß will conduct a detailed consultation to discuss your wishes and the exact procedure. The extent of the procedure and the incision placement will be determined individually. It is important that you discontinue certain medications, especially blood thinners, before the surgery and abstain from nicotine and alcohol.
The procedure
An upper eyelid lift typically takes about an hour and is usually performed under local Anesthesia. Dr. Graß makes a fine incision in the upper eyelid, removes excess skin and fat, and tightens the tissue. If necessary, the muscles may also be tightened.
After the procedure, the wounds are closed with fine stitches and you can leave the practice after a short recovery period.
Aftercare
After your upper eyelid lift in Leipzig, you should avoid sporting activities for 6 weeks and protect the eye area from direct sunlight. It is advisable to cool your eyes regularly to reduce swelling and bruising.
During the first few days, you should avoid sudden head movements and avoid applying cosmetics to the area of fresh wounds. You should also avoid rubbing your eyes.
Risks of upper eyelid surgery
Upper Eyelid Surgery is generally a low-risk procedure, but it requires precise execution. As with any surgery, possible risks include infections, postoperative bleeding, or wound healing disorders. In very rare cases, issues with eyelid closure may occur—however, thanks to the experience and meticulous planning of Dr. Christian Graß, such complications are highly unlikely.
Temporary bruising and swelling may occur, but these typically subside within a few days to weeks.
