Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Upper and lower eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) at Schönheitsklinik Berlin Dr Abtin Alvand to address hooded upper lids, under-eye bags, and periorbital ageing. Removes excess skin, fat, and muscle for a refreshed and rested appearance. Can be performed under local or general anaesthesia. Most patients are socially presentable within seven to ten days.

Blepharoplasty at Schönheitsklinik Berlin Dr Abtin Alvand corrects the periorbital ageing changes that make the eyes appear tired or older than the patient feels: accumulation of excess upper eyelid skin (dermatochalasis) that hoods over the lid crease; herniation of orbital fat through the weakening orbital septum creating puffiness or bags under the eyes; and descent of lower eyelid skin and festooning. Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin and redistributes or conservatively resects herniated fat through an incision placed within the natural upper lid fold, making the resulting scar effectively invisible once healed. In cases where the brow has descended and is contributing to apparent upper lid heaviness, Dr. Alvand may recommend a combined brow lift to address the root anatomical cause rather than the secondary skin accumulation alone. Lower blepharoplasty is performed transcutaneously (a fine incision immediately below the lower lash line, allowing skin and fat management) or transconjunctivally (an incision inside the lower lid surface, ideal for younger patients requiring fat redistribution without significant skin excision). Fat repositioning into the tear trough — rather than simple removal — is preferred where under-eye hollowing coexists with fat herniation, creating a smoother periorbital contour without a hollowed post-operative appearance. Procedures are performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia depending on the extent of surgery and patient preference. Sutures are removed at five to seven days; bruising and swelling resolve substantially within one to two weeks, and final results are fully evident by four to six weeks. Blepharoplasty is frequently combined with facelift or non-surgical treatments at the Berlin clinic for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Berlin's broad network of specialised aesthetic surgeons and Dr. Alvand's expertise in facial surgery make this an accessible option for European patients seeking eyelid correction in Germany.
