Eyelid Correction (Blepharoplasty)

Upper and lower eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) at Schönheitsklinik Dr. Funk in Munich, removing excess skin, fat, and muscle to address hooded upper lids, under-eye bags, and festoons. Can be performed under local or general anaesthesia. Most patients return to social activities within seven to ten days. Results are long-lasting.

Schönheitsklinik Dr. Funk offers upper and lower eyelid correction (blepharoplasty) in Munich as one of the practice's most requested procedures for facial rejuvenation. Blepharoplasty addresses the periorbital ageing changes that tend to become noticeable from the mid-thirties onwards: the gradual accumulation of excess upper eyelid skin (dermatochalasis) that hoods over the eyelid crease and in advanced cases impairs the superior visual field; herniation of orbital fat through the weakening orbital septum, creating the characteristic 'bags' under the eyes; and descent of lower lid skin creating festoons or festooning lines. Upper blepharoplasty removes the excess skin along the upper eyelid crease incision, which is carefully placed to be hidden within the natural fold; fat compartments are conservatively resected or repositioned as needed; the resulting scar sits invisibly in the natural lid fold. Lower blepharoplasty is performed either transcutaneously (fine incision immediately below the lash line, allowing removal or redistribution of fat pads and excess skin) or transconjunctivally (incision inside the lid, ideal for younger patients where fat removal is needed but there is no significant skin excess). Dr. Funk's maxillofacial background provides particular precision in the bony orbital anatomy and the ligamentous structures that determine long-term lid support. Procedures can be performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia depending on patient preference and the extent of the procedure. Recovery involves bruising and swelling peaking at two to four days and resolving substantially over seven to ten days; sutures are removed at five to seven days. Final results mature at four to six weeks. Eyelid surgery is often combined with facelift or forehead lift for a comprehensive periorbital and facial rejuvenation.
