A fresh look thanks to an upper eyelid lift – when tired eyes shine again

Our eyes are the mirror of our soul – but sometimes they show the world an image that doesn’t suit us at all. Drooping or drooping upper eyelids make us look tired, sad or older, even if we feel fit and full of energy. An upper eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) can gently remedy this and restore the natural, open expression of your eyes.

With increasing age, the skin loses elasticity and the muscles slacken. This can result in excess skin over the eye, sometimes accompanied by fat pads. This not only leads to aesthetic impairments, but can also restrict the field of vision.

An upper eyelid lift is particularly recommended if:

• the upper eyelids droop or the eyes appear smaller,
• excess skin impairs vision,
• you constantly look tired despite getting enough sleep,
• you want a fresh, alert appearance.
• For visual field restrictions and functionally disruptive eyelid drooping.

In my consultation with ophthalmologist Langer in Rotkreuz, a visual field measurement and assessment can be carried out by the ophthalmologist for medically necessary eyelid corrections and the application for cost coverage can be submitted to the insurance company.

The operation is usually performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. The excess skin is removed very finely along the natural crease of the eyelid. If necessary, small pockets of fat are reduced or redistributed to achieve a harmonious result.

The fine suture is placed in such a way that the scar is barely visible. You will usually be able to socialize again just a few days after the procedure.

Dr. Winterholer attaches great importance to ensuring that the result looks natural – just as if you were simply rested and well-rested. The goal is not a “different face”, but a rejuvenated, fresh expression that suits your personality.

Each procedure is planned individually. In a detailed consultation, we discuss your wishes, clarify the possibilities and limitations and develop the appropriate treatment concept together.

Slight swelling or bruising is normal in the first few days and usually subsides quickly. Cooling and gentle care support the healing process. The result is visible after a short time: an open, vibrant look that emphasizes your natural radiance.

The upper eyelid lift is one of the most popular and effective procedures in aesthetic surgery – small to perform but with a big effect. It gives you a fresh, alert look and new self-confidence.
