Hooded eyelid correction


It is not a question of age, but of wellbeing


An upper eyelid lift is considered for a wide variety of reasons. Drooping or hooded upper eyelids often go beyond a purely cosmetic concern and can genuinely impair the field of vision, resulting in a restricted visual field. In addition, hooded or drooping upper eyelids can give the face a tired appearance that does not reflect one's inner vitality. An upper eyelid lift not only creates a more aesthetically pleasing look but can also boost confidence and overall wellbeing. For this reason, patients of all age groups come to us for an upper eyelid lift in Düsseldorf – from 20 to 80 years of age and beyond.

Frequently asked questions

Can hooded eyelids be corrected without surgery?


Hooded eyelids are generally not reversible and cannot be corrected by non-surgical methods such as exercise, special exercises, or creams. Blepharoplasty represents the most effective solution and involves the removal of excess tissue to restore a youthful appearance with lasting results.

How long do the results of an upper eyelid lift last?


Results typically last 10 to 15 years or even longer. However, the natural ageing process may eventually lead to a recurrence of laxity. The duration depends on individual skin type, genetic factors, and lifestyle choices, and appropriate skincare can help to prolong the benefits.

Is there a risk of looking "operated on" after an eyelid lift?


Dr. Schuhmann is committed to achieving a natural, harmonious result without an artificially altered appearance. Precision techniques preserve individual facial features whilst creating a refreshed, youthful appearance around the eyes with minimal scarring.

What is blepharoplasty?


This procedure removes excess skin, fatty tissue, and sometimes muscle from the upper eyelids. The incisions follow the natural eyelid creases, and meticulous closure ensures an outpatient procedure with minimal complications and a rejuvenated appearance of the eyelids.

Are there age restrictions for an upper eyelid lift?


There is no fixed age limit for an upper eyelid lift. The individual condition of the eyelids and the patient's general health determine suitability more than chronological age, making the procedure viable across a wide range of age groups.

How long has the upper eyelid lift been performed?


Modern techniques emerged in the 1950s and 1960s. Continuous refinements in technology and methodology have made this a widely practised, well-established surgical approach, from which millions of people worldwide have benefited.

Can the eye be injured during an upper eyelid lift?


Serious complications remain very rare when the procedure is performed by experienced surgeons. Specialist instruments and techniques protect the ocular structures whilst allowing precise refinement of the eyelids without compromising vision.

How much does an upper eyelid lift cost?


The cost of an upper eyelid lift is €2,500.

Benefits of combining an upper eyelid lift with a lower eyelid lift?


Combined procedures offer a comprehensive enhancement of the eye area and harmonious facial proportions. Treating the upper and lower eyelids simultaneously addresses loose skin, reduces under-eye bags, and improves the overall appearance through subtle, natural refinements.
