Blepharoplasty (Eyelid and Conjunctiva Surgery)
These diseases most often do not affect visual functions, but have a negative cosmetic effect, making us less attractive. This pathology includes both neoplasms and degenerative changes in the skin of the eyelids and conjunctiva.
Our advantages:
The use of a radio wave knife for the removal of various formations allows us to dissect tissues without contact, reduce bleeding of blood vessels, due to their simultaneous coagulation. Radio waves produce a sterilising effect, which reduces the risk of infectious complications. Tissue recovery takes place with the formation of a delicate scar. There are contraindications, consult your doctor!

Frequently asked questions
A comprehensive examination allows for an assessment of overall vision health and the detection of potential issues that might affect the surgery’s effectiveness. If there are no complaints about visual acuity, booking a consultation with a doctor without diagnostic testing may suffice. The scope of pre-surgery testing and the intervention method is determined individually based on the examination and the patient’s characteristics. If any eye diseases or conditions are identified that could affect the surgical procedure, the doctor can address them and prepare you more thoroughly for the operation.
The surgery takes 1.5–2 hours, depending on the access and the scope of the work.
The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia or general sedation, so the patient does not feel pain during the surgery. Mild postoperative pain may occur but is usually manageable with painkillers.
Swelling, bruising, and discomfort may persist for the first few days. Most patients return to their normal routine within 10–14 days, although complete healing may take several weeks. The rehabilitation plan is tailored individually during follow-up visits, considering the patient’s unique features.
The incisions are typically made within the natural folds of the eyelids or on the inner side of the lower eyelid, making scars almost invisible after full healing.
Blepharoplasty does not directly improve vision, but if drooping eyelids were obstructing the field of vision, patients might notice improved peripheral vision after excess skin is removed.
Blepharoplasty is usually a standalone procedure. However, depending on the skin’s firmness and structure around the eyelids and face, additional treatments or specialized care may be recommended.

Maintaining health is an essential part of everyone’s life because it essentially allows you to be confident about tomorrow. Our well-being shapes our mood, influences the performance of various tasks, and provides motivation and energy for new achievements. Improving overall well-being should not be done only when the body sends signals that something is wrong. Taking care of oneself is the key to a happy existence.Your perception of yourself, both internally and externally, is important, because it is self-love that makes the world love you in the same way. At the “German Eye Clinic,” they not only perform surgeries prescribed due to complications of eye diseases but also those that can help improve your appearance. Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is one of such services.Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty: A Fresh Look
Upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves correcting the upper eyelids. It removes excess skin and fat deposits that can cause discomfort and affect your appearance. Surgery for a drooping eyelid is mainly intended to correct a person’s external features rather than treat a specific disease. However, sometimes there are very concrete reasons for it. One of these reasons is a medical indication, for example, in the presence of ptosis. Ptosis is the direct dropping of the upper eyelid, which not only causes visual changes but also limits the field of view, thereby impairing a person’s vision. Other reasons that may necessitate eyelid correction include age-related changes (the most common cause, as the skin around the eyes loses elasticity over the years, leading to sagging), heredity (genetic predisposition is also a common cause, since people can be born with a large amount of fatty tissue in the eyelid area or very thin skin), external factors, bad habits, stress, etc.Eyelid surgery can help improve vision, give the eyes a fresh, open look, visually increase the size of the eyes, and reduce the number of wrinkles and folds on the face. In addition, eyelid surgery – specifically reconstructive blepharoplasty – is performed to improve vision and positively affect peripheral vision (the so-called “side vision,” which is the ability of the eye to perceive images outside the central field of vision).Upper Blepharoplasty – The Beauty of the Eyes with the “German Eye Clinic”
