Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery in Kronberg - permanently remove drooping eyelids and bags under the eyes. Regain a fresh and alert appearance - on an outpatient basis, safely and precisely with our plastic surgeon.

Tired eyes or pressure from drooping eyelids or bags under the eyes? At our dermatology practice in Kronberg, which specializes in aesthetics, we offer gentle eyelid corrections as part of our plastic surgery for beautiful and natural results.

Eyelid lifting, also known as eyelid surgery, is an aesthetic procedure used to remove drooping eyelids and correct bags under the eyes. These procedures are often performed for cosmetic reasons to achieve a fresher and younger appearance. Drooping eyelids can cause the eyes to look tired and sad, while bags under the eyes can cause a tired and exhausted facial expression.

An eyelid lift can help to solve these problems and rejuvenate the face overall. During an eyelid lift, excess skin and fatty tissue are removed to create a tighter and smoother appearance. The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia and leaves minimal scarring that fades over time.

There may be slight swelling and bruising after the operation, but this will subside after one to two weeks. The results are usually long-lasting and lead to an overall fresher and more awake appearance.

Overall, an eyelid lift is a safe and effective method of removing drooping eyelids, correcting bags under the eyes and rejuvenating the face.

If you are interested in this procedure, you should contact an experienced specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery, such as Prof. Dr. med. H. Menke, for a detailed consultation. He will be happy to advise you at our clinic in Kronberg near Frankfurt.

Causes of drooping eyelids and bags under the eyes

In most cases, drooping eyelids are caused by a natural ageing process: the skin loses elasticity, the connective tissue slackens and excess skin bulges more and more over the upper eyelid every year. A genetic predisposition can also cause drooping eyelids to become visible at a young age.

Bags under the eyes, on the other hand, occur when fatty tissue under the eye bulges forward - favored by weak connective tissue and lymph congestion. An unhealthy lifestyle, with stress, lack of sleep, smoking, etc., can also worsen the appearance. An unhealthy diet can also worsen the appearance.

Both changes can quickly make the face look tired and older - even if you feelyourself to be fit and energetic. Some patients report that the heavy eyelids made them feel tired. They often first notice after the operation that this “pressure” is suddenly gone and they feel better.

What is eyelid surgery?

An eyelid surgery, also known as an eyelid lift or blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure to correct sagging skin and tissue in the upper or lower eyelid area.

Upper eyelid lift

Removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids - especially for drooping eyelids that make the face look tired or sad.

Lower eyelid lift

Aims to remove bags under the eyes or sagging skin and any fat deposits under the eyes - for a fresh, youthful appearance.

For whom is the operation suitable?

For women and men aged 35 and over who suffer from age-related changes, genetically caused drooping eyelids or cosmetically unpleasant bags under the eyes. If the field of vision is restricted, there may also be a medical indication. This can be checked during the consultation.

Procedure for an eyelid lift

Eyelid surgery and lifts affect a particularly sensitive area which is visible to everyone. For this reason, the well-known and highly experienced specialist for aesthetic and plastic surgery, Prof. Dr. Menke, a long-standing board member of the largest German association for plastic surgery (DGÄPC) and head physician of a large clinic, will personally perform the consultation and eyelid surgery here with us in Kronberg.

Before the operation

• Detailed consultation including photo documentation
• Medical examination
• Medical information about risks, alternatives and healing process
• Explanation of costs

During the operation

• Outpatient under local anesthesia or sedation
• Duration: approx. 45-90 minutes
• Gentle technique, fine sutures, barely visible scars

After the procedure

• Cooling, protection for 2-3 days
• Thread removal after approx. 5-7 days
• Social activity usually after 7-10 days
• Final result visible within 3-4 weeks

So why is the final result usually visible after 3-4 weeks? Quite simply because the natural swelling from the eyelid surgery has disappeared by then, the first results can of course be seen earlier.
