Bella Eye Lift

The Bella Eye Lift, also known as the Cat Eye Lift, is a surgical procedure that elevates the eyebrows and the skin at the outer corner of the eye into an elegant, almond-shaped cat eye form. The goal is a firmer, more youthful, and expressive eye appearance.

In this minimally invasive procedure, a small incision is made in the hair-bearing area. Using an endoscope, the lateral canthal ligament at the outer corner of the eye is cut and re-positioned at a higher point. The incisions are placed so that scars remain almost invisible. The surgery takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours and is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia.

The Bella Eye Lift is ideal for women seeking a rejuvenated eye area with a beautiful, almond-shaped eye contour. It corrects age-related sagging in the temple and forehead areas, giving the face an elegant lift.

After the procedure, gentle cooling is recommended for 2–3 days to reduce swelling and minor bleeding. Rest is important during the first 7–10 days. In general, you can return to work after about 10–14 days and resume sports after 4–6 weeks.

The lift is intended to bring about a long-lasting improvement in the position of the eyes and eyebrows, as the tissue structures are repositioned. However, natural skin ageing and gravity may cause a slight drooping to reappear over the course of many years.

Yes, an endoscopic lift not only raises the eyebrows, but can also relieve tension in the forehead muscles and soften fine lines such as horizontal forehead wrinkles, because the tissue in the entire upper face is repositioned.

Patients with a very high hairline or extremely little hair around the area to be treated should be assessed individually, as the placement of the incision there can affect the overall appearance.

If further facial surgery is planned (e.g. eyelid lift or facelift), it is advisable to plan this together with the surgeon or in a coordinated sequence, as combined procedures can optimise recovery time and produce a more harmonious result.

Yes, in many cases, minimally invasive procedures such as Botox or fillers are used to further refine the contours around the eyes and temples or to smooth out small wrinkles. However, the combination should be discussed on an individual basis.

An endoscopic Bella Eye Lift usually takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the individual findings and whether additional procedures such as an upper eyelid lift are combined.
