Frequently Asked Questions

Who is suitable for upper eyelid surgery?

Upper eyelid surgery is suitable for individuals with hooded eyelids that create a tired or aged appearance. The procedure can also be beneficial where excess skin on the upper eyelid causes visual obstruction. In a personal consultation, Dr. Schuhmann will assess whether the procedure is appropriate for you.

What does upper eyelid surgery involve?

The outpatient procedure takes approximately 1–2 hours and is performed under local anaesthesia or twilight sedation. Dr. Schuhmann removes excess skin and, where necessary, fatty tissue. The scar is placed within the natural eyelid crease and is virtually invisible once healed.

How long does recovery take?

After approximately one week you will be socially presentable again. Swelling and minor bruising subside during this period. The final result is visible after several weeks, once the scars have fully healed.

Are the scars visible?

The scars run within the natural eyelid crease and are virtually invisible once fully healed. Dr. Schuhmann places particular emphasis on precise, minimally invasive incision technique for the best possible aesthetic results.

Can the procedure be combined with other treatments?

Yes, upper eyelid surgery combines excellently with lower eyelid surgery, brow lifting, or wrinkle treatments. Dr. Schuhmann is happy to advise you on an individual treatment plan for a harmonious overall result.

What does upper eyelid surgery cost?

Costs vary depending on the extent of the procedure. You will receive an individual cost estimate during a personal consultation. Where there is a medical indication (e.g. visual obstruction), it may be possible for costs to be covered by your health insurer.
