EYELID CORRECTION

The skin around the eyes is extremely delicate and affected by the aging process more than other areas of the face. Expressive movements and excessive exposure to sunlight cause fine lines to develop over the years. The top lids start to droop and look similar to congenital pstosis. The bottom eyelids can also start to sag which causes bags and the formation of adipose tissue, giving the impression that you are tired, jaded and sad. Modern methods make it possible to achieve impressive effects with comparatively little effort. After an eyelid correction, you look fresh, radiant and years younger.

If the patient’s vision is impaired by the drooping upper lid, the health insurance fund may reimburse the costs of the treatment.

The procedure is performed with an intravenous short anaesthetic. An incision is made in the anatomic eyelid fold on the upper lid using the laser scalpel and surplus skin is removed with the CO2 laser. The laser’s sharp incision leaves almost invisible scarring. The sutures are removed after 7 to 10 days.

The surgeon must be highly experienced to make these special incisions so close to the eye in order to ensure that important nerve structures are not damaged and to achieve the optimum aesthetic result.
