Ärzteblatt reports a noticeable increase in demand for procedures around the eyes. The pandemic has changed how we look at our own reflection. When the mouth remains covered, every sign of tiredness around the eyes carries more weight – one reason for the boom in eyelid lifts and complementary treatments.
Why Eyelid Corrections Are Booming
Working from home makes recovery time easier to plan, while masks draw attention to the eye area. Many patients are using this time to carry out long-desired corrections – whether surgically or via laser, radiofrequency, and skin boosters.
Popular Combination Procedures
- Surgical upper and lower eyelid lift – precise removal of excess skin and fat pockets
- Laser and radiofrequency procedures – work on collagen structure and surface appearance
- Skin boosters & hyaluronic acid – pad out shadowing and smooth fine lines
- Lip treatments – easier to integrate when concealed by everyday masks
What Patients Should Consider Now
Mandatory Masks & Focus on the Eyes
When the mouth remains covered, attention shifts more strongly to the lids, brows, and forehead. Small changes have a more direct impact.
Working from Home & Flexible Planning
Downtime can be discreetly managed around video calls – one reason why minimally invasive treatments have increased.
Hybrid Concepts
Plastic surgery combines surgical methods with skin boosters, RF, or lasers for long-lasting results.
Thinking Holistically
Alongside eyelid lifts, lip treatments and body contouring are also seeing higher demand. Swelling can be concealed beneath a mask and recovery periods are easier to integrate into daily life. Individual analysis remains essential – every treatment must suit the face, lifestyle, and skin condition of the patient.
