Achieve a radiant look with a lower eyelid lift

Lower eyelid lift

Just like in the upper eye area, excess skin can also occur in the lower eyelid, which many people perceive as unesthetic. So-called “eye bags” are usually caused by a genetically determined weakness of the connective tissue. Stress, lack of sleep, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption can also cause the lower eye area to sag prematurely. With a lower eyelid lift at LIVION in Hamburg, the signs of skin aging in the lower eye area—especially swollen eye bags—can be effectively reduced.

What is a lower eyelid lift?

Lower eyelid lift at LIVION

A lower eyelid lift, also known as a lower blepharoplasty, is an effective aesthetic procedure aimed at addressing the visible signs of aging in the lower eyelid area. Over time, sagging skin, under-eye bags, and wrinkles can develop, which not only affect the external appearance but often lead to a tired or aged look. A lower eyelid lift at LIVION in Hamburg offers the opportunity to correct these signs of aging and give your face a fresher, more youthful appearance. Our experts place great emphasis on individualized consultation and outstanding aesthetic results. Let us explore the possibilities of a lower eyelid lift together and help you achieve a more vital and younger-looking appearance.

How is a Lower Eyelid Lift performed?

A lower eyelid lift addresses under-eye bags and can also improve dark circles.

The lower eyelid lift is one of the more advanced cosmetic procedures, and we specialize in this treatment. The surgeon makes an incision along the lower eyelid margin. Fat tissue is removed, and the skin beneath the eye is tightened so that only the natural eyelid folds remain. Over-tightening is avoided through precise measurements.

If the patient also has dark circles, the removed fat can be used to provide gentle under-eye cushioning. In some cases, it may be sufficient to remove only the fat without excess skin; in these instances, the incision is made on the inner side of the lower eyelid.

At LIVION in Hamburg, the lower eyelid lift can be performed under local anesthesia, general anesthesia, or twilight sedation, and typically takes one to two hours. Before the procedure, an ophthalmologist should rule out any retinal or fundus damage. A lower eyelid lift can also be performed in combination with an upper eyelid correction if desired.

What you need to bear in mind after the procedure

Aftercare for lower eyelid lift surgery

After lower eyelid surgery, slight swelling and bruising may occur, but this will disappear after a few days. It is advisable to regularly cover the eye area with cool compresses after eyelid correction. For the first few days after lower eyelid surgery, you should sleep with your upper body slightly elevated and refrain from physical exertion. The stitches are removed after seven days. After that, you should refrain from applying make-up or cream for about a week. Solarium visits and sunbathing are taboo for three weeks.

FAQ

The most frequently asked questions about upper eyelid lift

The ideal candidate for an eyelid lift is a healthy individual with realistic expectations for the results. They should have drooping eyelids, bags under the eyes, or excess skin on the upper and/or lower eyelids that affects their appearance. A suitable patient should not have any serious eye conditions or chronic health issues and should be willing to follow the postoperative recovery instructions to achieve optimal results.

In most cases, local anesthesia is entirely sufficient. Sedation is also available upon request.

Most patients can resume their normal daily activities within a few days to a week after surgery.

For an upper eyelid lift, the scar is placed directly in the eyelid crease, and for a lower eyelid lift, it follows the lower eyelid margin, making it barely noticeable.

The results of an eyelid lift are generally long-lasting. However, natural aging continues, which may cause signs of sagging to reappear over time. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, following a regular skincare routine, and using sun protection can help prolong the results.

During the first few days, you should apply cold compresses and sleep with your upper body elevated to minimize swelling as much as possible. The surgery itself is not painful, but bruising around the eyes can be uncomfortable. It is important to avoid taking blood-thinning pain medications, such as aspirin.

You should wear glasses for approximately one week after surgery. However, contact lenses should be avoided during this time, as they may irritate your eyes.

You should avoid strenuous physical activity, sports, swimming, and saunas for approximately 2–3 weeks. Sun exposure can increase swelling and the risk of scar discoloration. In general, you may return to sunlight after two weeks, but direct UV exposure to the scars should be avoided for about six months. During this time, wear high-quality sunglasses and apply sunscreen with SPF 50 to the scars.

Until the stitches are removed (usually after one week), you should avoid applying makeup on and around your eyes. This helps prevent any impurities from entering the wound.
