Upper arm/thigh tightening
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
