When can an eyelid tightening or eyelid correction help?

According to genetic characteristics, the external and internal influences and the effects of age, the skin and/or the muscle in the eyes can loosen with time. The result is a drooping of the skin on the upper or lower eyelid. In this case, I can achieve very appealing results with an eyelid tightening and/or eyelid correction in my practice for plastic and cosmetic surgery in Munich.

I additionally recommend an eyelid tightening if you suffer from classical lacrimal sacks. These have little to do with the lacrimal gland or the tear ducts, rather they arise from surplus fat tissue. Also here, this surgical treatment can provide relief for the eyes.

Eyelid correction in Munich – technology and scar formation

Eyelid correction is implemented by me in a renowned Munich clinic and generally takes about an hour. The surplus skin and, if required, also loosened muscle tissue, are carefully removed. A local anesthetic is mostly sufficient here.

The scar is placed directly in the eyelid wrinkle and can scarcely be seen after a few weeks following the operation. You can leave the clinic directly after the eyelid correction. Your appearance is again socially acceptable after about 14 days following the eyelid tightening.
