Lower Eyelid Surgery

 

With aging the eyelids often begin to droop. This can be corrected by a surgical procedure which is performed under local anesthesia. The incision will be made in the area under the eyelashes and surplus skin will be removed. We suture the incision using microscopic thread. 5 days after the surgery sutures will be removed, which leaves a thin linear scar on the skin. The area of operation might show rosy-purple discoloration which heals in about 10-14 days.  Restriction of physical activity is recommended. In order to optimize scar healing and to accelerate the recuperation process we use the Manual Lymph Drainage method. Dependent on the state of skin, we administer this treatment 2-3 times in the pre-operational phase, and an additional 2-3 times afterwards.
