Information about lower eyelid lift

Lower eyelid lift, also known as lower blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure to tighten and rejuvenate the lower eyelids. The aim of the treatment is to permanently remove bags under the eyes and, if necessary, reduce dark circles.

Bags under the eyes are usually caused by age-related sagging of the skin and muscles. In addition, deposits of adipose tissue and lymph fluid can result in unsightly bulges. During lower eyelid lift surgery in Zurich, the excess tissue is removed or repositioned to restore a firm and smooth Skin appearance.

Lower eyelid lift surgery in Zurich can be combined with upper eyelid lift surgery if both eyelids are equally sagging. In this case, Dr. Köhler will plan a combined eyelid lift for you. This saves you the stress of a second operation.

As a rule, our clients decide to have their eye bags operated on for aesthetic reasons. If the bulges increase due to age or genetic predisposition, the aging process can be reversed by years with a lower eyelid lift in Zurich. From a medical point of view, an eyelid lift is not absolutely necessary; however, many people experience emotional relief and a gain in self-confidence.

Possible reasons for lower eyelid lift surgery in Zurich may include:

  • Permanent bags under the eyes
  • dark circles, eye wrinkles, and other changes in the skin appearance
  • The desire for a more alert and youthful appearance
  • Restoration of a youthful appearance
  • Emphasis on the natural aesthetics of the eyes

The primary goal of lower eyelid lifting in Zurich is the permanent and sustainable rejuvenation of the eye area. The eyes appear fresher, more alert, and more radiant.

Preparation for treatment

Lower eyelid lifting in Zurich is a minor but demanding procedure that must be carefully planned. That is why Dr. Köhler and his team take plenty of time to prepare thoroughly for the operation. The current appearance of your lower eyelids is examined thoroughly and possible corrections are discussed with you in detail. We also provide you with comprehensive information about the risks and Side effects of lower eyelid correction.

For complication-free treatment of eye bags, we recommend that you refrain from smoking before and after the operation. You should also avoid taking blood-thinning medication for 14 days prior to the eyelid lift. To ensure that you are in the best of health, Dr. Köhler may recommend some preliminary examinations.

Before your lower eyelid lift in Zurich, please inform us of any known allergies, pre-existing conditions, and medications you are taking.

Performing the lower eyelid lift

Lower eyelid lift surgery is performed on an Outpatient basis in Zurich and takes about 60-90 minutes. The exact procedure varies depending on the findings.

As a rule, small incisions are made on both sides just below the lash line, leaving only very fine lines after healing. Sagging skin and fat deposits are carefully removed. In cases of pronounced dark circles under the eyes, some of the adipose tissue can be redistributed to conceal the shadows and achieve an even skin appearance.

Dr. Köhler often recommends tightening the muscles in the lower eyelid area as well. In cases of advanced skin laxity, the eyelid skin can also be tightened toward the outer corners of the eyes using special suture techniques. The small surgical wounds are then sutured with fine suture material and covered with a protective plaster bandage.

Follow-up treatment

After your lower eyelid lift in Zurich, you should take it easy for several days and refrain from sports for at least 2 weeks. After that, you can slowly integrate light activities back into your everyday life. At first, sleep in a slightly elevated position and avoid sudden head movements. Regular cooling can reduce swelling and bruising.

Direct sunlight should be avoided after lower eyelid lift surgery in Zurich so that the fine scars heal aesthetically. Wound healing can be supported by targeted scar care, which we will be happy to advise you on in detail.

Your social life may be affected for about 10 days, which you should take into account when planning your schedule. Slight traces of the treatment may remain for several weeks, but can be covered with makeup after a week. The stitches are usually removed 5-7 days after the eyelid lift in Zurich.
