Upper eyelid tightening in Munich with Dr. med. Nikolaus Raab – specialist for plastic surgery

An upper eyelid tightening with me in Munich is implemented in a renowned clinic. Upper eyelid correction is among the most frequent operations implemented in the area of the eyes. With increasing age, the elasticity of the skin in the eyelid area can reduce. The result can be for example drooping eyelids which can produce an overall fatigued expression in the face. An upper eyelid tightening in Munich can help you again attain a fresh, awake facial expression.

A moderate loosening of the eyelids can occur as early as in the very young years and can be repaired thanks to upper eyelid tightening. Usually an upper eyelid tightening or upper eyelid correction procedure takes about an hour. If required, an upper eyelid tightening with a lower eyelid tightening can also be combined. Generally an overnight stay is not necessary. In a first preliminary discussion, I would be glad to inform you more about upper eyelid tightening, one of the most frequent operations carried out in the area of plastic and cosmetic surgery.

What exactly are drooping eyelids?

Loosened skin in the upper eyelid area guarantees so-called drooping eyelids, comparable with thicker lacrimal sacks in the area of the lower eyelid. According to markedness of the drooping eyelids, it can even happen that the eyelids are no longer visible when the eyes are opened. Drooping eyelids are often also designated as hanging eyelids and, in severe cases, can also lead to impairment of sight. After a restless night with little sleep, drooping eyelids mostly appear even more distinctly.

How is a drooping eyelid operation carried out?

Surplus skin, in part also including the loosened muscle tissue, is removed in a drooping eyelid operation. The scar is set into the eyelid wrinkle, in order to achieve a perfect result which is as inconspicuous as possible. After some weeks, there is almost nothing which could identify that an operation for drooping eyelids took place. The most important facts relating to a drooping eyelid operation are once again, in overview:

Intervention lasts between 45 and 60 minutes
A local anesthetic is generally sufficient
On request, the surgical intervention can also be implemented in a light sleep
An overnight stay is not necessary
