In an upper eyelid lift, excess skin on the upper eyelid is surgically removed, for example in the case of hooded eyelids. The procedure is usually carried out on an outpatient basis and under local anaesthesia. In a consultation at the Klinik am Seestern in Düsseldorf, we clarify whether it is an option for you.
Upper eyelid lift in Düsseldorf: consultation, surgery and aftercare in one place
Consultation room
Your upper eyelid lift takes place at the Klinik am Seestern in Düsseldorf, from the first consultation to the check-up appointments afterwards. The specialist clinic for plastic and aesthetic surgery has its own operating theatres: you are advised and operated on as an outpatient in the place where you also return for aftercare.
The clinic is on the left bank of the Rhine in Lörick, in the Am Seestern business district near the B7. The U77 runs directly from the main station to the Am Seestern stop, and there is free parking on the grounds. This also makes appointments after the procedure easy to reach from all over Düsseldorf, from Meerbusch, Neuss and the surrounding area.
Hooded eyelids: reasons for an upper eyelid lift
Hooded eyelids often make the eye area look tired and worn out. If the skin of the upper eyelids overhangs strongly, it can also make applying make-up more difficult, because eyeshadow and eyeliner smudge quickly. In pronounced cases, excess skin can also restrict the field of vision.
Aims of an upper eyelid lift
Removal of excess skin on the upper eyelid
A more open look and, where skin overhangs, a wider field of vision
Eye area that looks less tired
Outpatient procedure with the incision placed in the eyelid crease
If you are considering whether an upper eyelid lift is an option for you, feel free to make an appointment for a no-obligation consultation.
Consultation and planning at the Klinik am Seestern
An upper eyelid lift is also called eyelid plasty or blepharoplasty. In a personal consultation, you discuss your wishes with your treating doctor and plan the procedure. After a precise examination and measurement of the excess skin tissue, the procedure can take place. The suture is placed in the eyelid crease.
How are hooded eyelids removed?
In an upper eyelid lift, after the eyelid has been measured precisely, a strip of excess skin of the appropriate size and, if necessary, fatty tissue is removed from the upper eyelid. The incision runs in the crease of the eyelid; how the scar looks after healing also depends on individual wound healing. By removing loose skin and muscle, the eye can look more open. A weakness in lifting the eyelid can additionally be treated by tightening or shortening the muscle. The upper eyelid correction at the Klinik am Seestern Düsseldorf is an outpatient procedure that takes about 45 to 60 minutes.
Combination with a lower eyelid lift or facelift
If you wish, the upper eyelid lift can be combined with a lower eyelid lift. In this way, hooded eyelids and eye bags can be treated in one operation. A combination with a facelift is also possible. We clarify in the consultation whether a combination makes sense in your case.

Your schedule at the Klinik am Seestern
This is how an upper eyelid lift proceeds at the Klinik am Seestern, from consultation to healing:
Step 1
Beforehand
Consultation. In the consultation, you discuss your wishes, and the excess skin tissue is carefully examined and measured. You can book your appointment online.
Step 2
Day of surgery
Outpatient procedure. The upper eyelid lift takes about 45 to 60 minutes and is usually carried out under local anaesthesia. Afterwards you go home the same day.
Step 3
The first few days
Cool well. The eyelids may still be a little swollen, and discolouration from bruising is also temporarily possible. Therefore cool the eyelids well.
Step 4
After the first week
Check-up appointment. In the first week, the sutures are covered with plasters. At the check-up appointment, they are removed and the threads are pulled, if no self-dissolving threads were used.
Step 5
After 1 to 2 weeks
Back among people. After about 1 to 2 weeks, you are usually back out among people.
Step 6
From week 4
Sun and exercise. For at least 4 weeks you avoid sunbathing and sunbeds; exercise is possible again after 4 to 6 weeks.

What do I need to bear in mind after an upper eyelid lift?
After the upper eyelid lift, the eyelids may still be a little swollen. In some cases, a temporary discolouration from bruising may also occur. Therefore cool the eyelids well. In the first week after the procedure, the sutures are still covered with plasters. These are removed at the check-up appointment and the threads are pulled, if non-absorbable threads were used. Please avoid sunbathing and visits to sunbeds for at least 4 weeks.
When can I go out among people again after an upper eyelid lift?
After about 1 to 2 weeks, you are usually back out among people. Swelling and bruising can occur after the procedure; cooling counteracts this.

I am a lipoedema and lymphoedema patient and have been trying to find help for about 10 years. Here it was no problem at all! I was called in quickly, was well looked after, my questions were answered very professionally, and I was able to leave the practice in tears of joy! Many thanks for the support so far.

I had my appointment at the practice for a consultation about my lipoedema, and I really want to leave a review even though I haven't had any surgery there yet. The reason is that this was the first time I felt truly taken seriously during an examination of my lipoedema. Dr. Witt was very friendly and professional from the start, and at the same time incredibly pleasant and humane. He took an exceptional amount of time, examined me very thoroughly and answered all my questions in detail. He is incredibly respectful and explains realistically what could be done and how the whole process would work. I found it particularly positive that at no point did a hectic or unpleasant mood arise. You never had the feeling of being “brushed off” or being under time pressure. Instead, the whole atmosphere was calm, relaxed and trusting. Dr. Witt was very committed, photos were taken of the affected areas and every possible treatment was explained in an understandable way. Dr. Witt explained everything in detail, yet never came across as complicated or distant. Although he is an absolute specialist in his field, I felt at all times that I could speak openly and ask any question. It felt more as if I had been a patient there for a long time. It was also particularly important to me that I never felt pushed towards an operation. It is still not at all clear whether I will have my operation at all, and yet I was taken incredibly seriously and treated with respect. That is exactly what built so much trust in me. I would also very much like to mention the lady at reception, Marris, in a positive way. She was super polite, had a very pleasant and calm manner and immediately gave me a good feeling. Although it was almost 5 p.m. and the end of the working day was approaching, she was incredibly friendly to me and did not seem at all annoyed or stressed. It is precisely such little things that make a huge difference to me personally and reinforced my positive overall impression of the practice. The practice itself is also absolutely impressive. It is extremely modern, high-quality and stylishly furnished. You feel more as if you are entering a luxury hotel than a traditional doctor's practice. Everything seems very well thought out, calm and professional. The organisation around the appointment was also excellent. Even before the appointment, communication was always very friendly, quick and professional. Questions were answered immediately and the whole process seemed perfectly organised. I was also allowed to park in the clinic's car park, which was an enormous relief since everything in the area was completely full. Although it was already later in the afternoon, Dr. Witt even personally saw to it that enquiries were made internally about my question regarding costs. Shortly after I had left the practice, I already received all the information by email. That too simply shows how professionally and attentively they work there. Overall, an exceptionally positive experience, of a kind you unfortunately only rarely have in the medical field. Absolutely fabulous.

Everything was great, just one small remark..... I didn't get any dinner/bread in the evening. The most important thing for me was the operation, or rather everything around it.

I was welcomed and advised incredibly kindly. The consultation takes place on an equal footing and without medical jargon, and what I like best is that they paid attention to what the best treatment is for my concern, and not to what would earn the practice the most money. I took a week to think it over, but actually the decision to choose the clinic was made much sooner.

I had a consultation and felt taken seriously and understood. They took a lot of time for me, and the examination and the conversation were very thorough. In the end, the treatment is too expensive for me, so I won't be able to have it done.
