tummy tuck
Indication:
Drooping upper eyelids - so-called droopy eyelids - can be extremely annoying for those affected. The development of drooping eyelids can be attributed to various reasons. With age, the skin and tissue in the area of the upper eyelids lose elasticity and resilience. The musculature becomes weaker and as a result the upper eyelids begin to droop: the eyelid droops, the eyes appear small and the gaze looks tired. However, droopy eyelids can also be genetic.
An eyelid lift can remove drooping upper eyelids and give the face a more alert and younger look. Eyelid correction is one of the most common cosmetic surgeries.
Surgery:
A tightening of the upper eyelid is a standardized procedure in which excess skin in the area of the upper eyelid is removed. If necessary, the muscles are also tightened at the same time. Since the incision is made in the natural fold of the upper eyelid, no noticeable or visible scar remains after the drooping eyelid operation.
After the operation:
-
After tightening the upper eyelids, the eyelids may be swollen
-
This swelling can last up to two weeks
-
Cool eyelids after surgery
-
head elevation
-
Sunbathing or going to the solarium should be avoided,
-
The result of the eyelid lift can be seen about four weeks after the operation

PD Dr. Alawi
"I decided to have the operation because I felt understood and cared for. I will also have my breast reduction done there because I was completely satisfied. You should know that just one appointment isn't enough. So you have to go to the clinic more often.
In October 2022 I went to the plastic surgery department at the Dresden University Hospital for my initial consultation and asked for a consultation on a tummy tuck and breast reduction. The doctors then looked at everything and took photos and made the first application to the health insurance company. I felt cared for and understood. All my questions were answered. Once I had approval from the health insurance company, I had another appointment to plan the operation. There I was informed about the risks and possible complications, as well as how the operation was carried out and how it progressed. In March 2023 was the day of my tummy tuck. I was welcomed by very friendly nurses and was able to speak to the senior doctor personally before my operation. That was very important to me because I was super excited. He answered my questions again and calmed me down and tried to allay my fears. The operation was carried out under general anesthesia, which is why I didn't notice anything. When I was back on the ward I was immediately given painkillers and the next day Dr. Alawi personally went into the room again to inquire about my condition and looked at the results and the scar. I was very pleased with the result as well as his competence and willingness. I really admire that because I've had a lot of bad experiences in the past. All in all, the preliminary discussions, the operation and the days in the hospital were simply great and recommended. "
