If you are unsure, or if you require a personalised treatment plan, it is essential that you consult a qualified specialist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The eyes are not only the window to the soul \u2013 they are also one of the parts of the face where the natural ageing process is most quickly apparent. No wonder, then, that eyelid lifts are among the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures. An upper or lower eyelid lift can correct dark circles, bags under the eyes and drooping eyelids, thereby giving the face a fresh new look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mit-einer-augenlidstraffung-zum-wachen-blick-das-erwartet-patienten-bei-der-op\">An eyelid lift for a more alert look \u2013 what patients can expect during the operation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is not only women, but also an increasing number of men worldwide who are opting for what is known as blepharoplasty to rejuvenate the dull and tired appearance of the eye area. Patients can choose between an upper eyelid lift and a lower eyelid lift, each of which can be performed on one or both sides and can also be combined:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Upper eyelid lift<\/strong>:<br>Upper eyelid lift surgery is frequently used to correct drooping eyelids or sagging eyebrows and takes around 45\u201360 minutes. During the procedure, the surgeon makes a fine incision in the eyelid crease to remove the excess skin and closes the incision with a barely visible suture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lower eyelid lift<\/strong>:<br>A lower eyelid lift can significantly reduce dark circles and bags under the eyes. During the procedure, both skin and fatty tissue are carefully removed, whilst the eye\u2019s supporting structures are strengthened. The fine suture along the lash line is virtually invisible afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an alternative to surgical eyelid lifting, blepharoplasty can also be carried out using laser techniques or a plasma pen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"komplikationen-und-risiken-der-augenlidstraffung-im-uberblick\">An overview of the complications and risks associated with eyelid lifts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the operation, you may experience the following symptoms, although these usually subside after a short time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Puffiness around the eyes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bruises<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dry eyes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Conjunctivitis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In some cases, long-term complications may also arise, requiring follow-up treatment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Post-operative bleeding<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increased tear production<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Infections<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wound-healing disorders<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proliferating scars<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Permanent visual impairment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, even the most experienced surgeon cannot guarantee a flawless blepharoplasty \u2013 there is always a residual risk. However, with follow-up costs insurance for eyelid surgery, patients are at least well covered financially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"augenlidstraffung-versichern-der-haufig-ubersehene-schritt-zur-finanziellen-absicherung\">Insuring a blepharoplasty: the often-overlooked step towards financial security<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, the bad news: health insurance funds do not usually cover the costs of follow-up treatment after an eyelid lift \u2013 unless the original operation was medically necessary. If complications arise following a purely cosmetic procedure, patients are usually left to bear these costs themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, anyone who is hesitant to book an eyelid lift due to financial concerns can rely on 4beauty\u2019s follow-up treatment insurance. The flexible policies can be easily booked online and provide reliable cover for the costs of any potential follow-up treatments, up to 300,000 euros.
