Eyelid lift/eyelid correction (blepharoplasty)

As we all know, the elasticity of the skin and eyelid muscles decreases over the years, which can lead to heavier eyelids, bags under the eyes, drooping eyelids and age wrinkles.
Your facial expressions appear tired and exhausted – even if you are full of energy.
With an eyelid correction or eyelid lift, you can make your eye area glow again, give it a fresh and vital look and rejuvenate your appearance with a naturally beautiful result.
Alongside breast augmentation, liposuction and the treatment of wrinkles, eyelid lifting is one of the most frequently requested procedures at our practice in Zurich and Bad Ragaz.
Whether an upper eyelid lift, lower eyelid lift or combined eyelid lift – thanks to many years of specialist experience and state-of-the-art techniques, the risks of this operation are very low.
A minor procedure with a major visual effect!

Eyelid lift / eyelid correction

Prerequisite

No special requirements need to be met for an eyelid lift to be performed. Generally speaking, an eyelid lift is a routine procedure at our dermatology clinic and is therefore associated with very low risks. Even if the operation is not risky, you should still take some time off after an operation.

Stay

The stay for eyelid correction is outpatient. This means that you can go home again on the same day. If desired and required, several eyelid treatments can be performed simultaneously in one operation (combination of upper and lower eyelid lift).

Anesthesia

Eyelid surgery is performed without anesthesia. Instead, the patient is either put into twilight sleep or given a local anesthetic if desired.

Treatment

An eyelid lift involves removing excess skin and fatty tissue from the sagging upper and/or lower eyelids. The small incisions required for this are made in the natural skin fold, which makes the resulting scar almost invisible. The suture is applied under the skin (intracutaneously) with a continuous thread.

After the treatment

After the procedure, you will recover at our clinic and remain under supervision for at least one hour. You may then be collected.
The planned incision leaves a fine and very inconspicuous scar in your natural eyelid crease, which is usually no longer recognizable after a short time. With good and consistent preparation (e.g. avoidance of blood-thinning medication), the bruising after the operation is usually only slightly pronounced. Nevertheless, you should generally expect 7-10 days in which you plan fewer social activities. After removing or dissolving the stitches on the eyelids, you can use eye makeup again as usual without any concerns.
