Eyelid Surgery

THERESIUM offers upper eyelid lift (Oberlidstraffung), lower eyelid surgery (Unterlidstraffung), and tear sac removal at its Munich clinic. Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin to restore an open, youthful appearance; lower blepharoplasty addresses under-eye bags and herniated fat. Results of lower eyelid surgery can be permanent; upper eyelid results typically last many years.

Eyelid surgery (Augenlidstraffung) at THERESIUM in Munich encompasses upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, and tear sac removal, performed by Dr. med. Markus Klöppel with over 25 years of board-certified aesthetic surgery experience. The periorbital area is one of the earliest regions of the face to show visible signs of ageing, and surgical correction of the eyelids is among the most effective rejuvenative procedures available relative to its recovery demands. Upper blepharoplasty (Oberlidstraffung) corrects the descent and redundancy of upper eyelid skin that accumulates with age, obscuring the eyelid crease and — in more advanced cases — encroaching on the upper visual field. The procedure involves an incision precisely placed within the natural eyelid crease, excision of the calculated skin excess, and conservative management of any herniated medial or central orbital fat. Closure recreates or deepens the upper eyelid crease for a refreshed, open appearance. Lower blepharoplasty (Unterlidstraffung) addresses the three compartments of lower orbital fat that herniate through a progressively lax orbital septum with age, creating the bulging 'bags' that are difficult to conceal and resistant to topical treatments. The Munich clinic offers both transconjunctival (internal, scar-free) and subciliary (external, skin-resection) approaches depending on whether skin excess is also present. Tear sac removal (Tränensackentfernung) can be performed as part of the lower eyelid procedure or standalone. According to the clinic's published information, results from lower eyelid surgery can be permanent given the conservative nature of fat removal; upper eyelid results typically endure for many years before any repeat treatment may be considered. Procedures may be performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or under general anaesthesia depending on patient preference and whether other procedures are being combined. THERESIUM is accessible to patients across Munich, Bavaria, and medical tourists visiting Germany for aesthetic procedures.
