Treatments & Therapies

Upper eyelid lift in Vienna

An upper eyelid lift corrects sagging upper eyelids (hooded or drooping eyelids). These can be either genetically determined or develop through natural aging. Pronounced hooded eyelids often constitute not only a cosmetic problem but can, in extreme cases, considerably restrict the field of vision.

Lower eyelid lift in Vienna

Lower eyelid lifts eliminate so-called eye bags. These are hereditary or result from age-related laxity of the lower eyelid connective tissue. Often, bothersome eye bags develop in combination with a loss of firmness in the lower eyelid skin.

Gentle eyelid lift and correction

The eye area is a central feature that greatly influences the face and overall appearance. The desirable youthful, alert look can be diminished by sagging skin folds, making the facial expression appear tired and drained.

Pronounced drooping eyelids can often even pose a psychological problem for the affected person at "first eye contact." But no one has to unnecessarily suffer from sagging eyelids, because an eyelid lift at JUVENIS is a quick and gentle way to tighten sagging upper lids and restore a more youthful appearance to the face.

After the operation, patients appear more vital while preserving their individual facial expression. An overall younger, fresher appearance results after the eyelid correction.

Increase your quality of life and your self-confidence with an eyelid lift at the JUVENIS medical centre in downtown Vienna, and impress with a youthful eye area you can be proud of!

Treatment procedure

How is an eyelid correction at JUVENIS carried out?

The surgical procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. On average, the operation takes about one hour.

Several surgical techniques with different incision approaches depending on the initial situation are possible: the incisions are made in the natural crease of the upper eyelid; depending on the amount of excess skin, the incisions in the lower eyelid area can be made from the "outside" (just below the lash line) or from the "inside" (conjunctiva of the lower eyelid).

The latter method is only possible if your problem consists solely of small fat pads under the eyes and no excess skin needs to be removed. This method leaves no visible scars.

In tightening of the lower eyelid skin, the excess skin is removed and the underlying fat pad is repositioned. The muscle can also be tightened and repositioned. The wound edges are closed with very fine sutures. In almost all cases the scars are hardly visible.

Which measures are important after eyelid tightening?

Thanks to the particularly gentle surgical technique used by our plastic surgeons, the risks are kept as low as possible. After the procedure, cooling the treated area is particularly important. This should be done regularly in the first days after the operation. You should avoid direct sun or heat for the first 10 days (wear sunglasses). Heavy lifting is not allowed for about 14 days after the operation. Furthermore, any physical overexertion and mechanical stress such as rubbing the eyes, wearing contact lenses, or applying makeup should be avoided. When bending over, you should bend your knees rather than bend at the waist. Sutures are removed after 4 to 7 days. Mild swelling around the eyes may occur. This subsides within 7 to 14 days at the latest. With lower eyelid surgery, the swelling may last somewhat longer, up to a maximum of six weeks, but it decreases significantly from week to week.
