Upper eyelid lifting (blepharoplasty) is used to reduce excess skin on the upper eyelid, the so-called drooping eyelids, which make the gaze appear tired and sad. A clear view is often only possible by activating the forehead muscles. During blepharoplasty, the excess tissue (skin, muscles, fat) is removed. The stitches remain in place for about seven days. Due to possible swelling and bruising, some downtime should be planned. The operation can be performed under local anesthesia, sedation or general anesthesia.
Plasma pen treatment at MKG Hamm can be used to treat or reduce small findings by thermally shrinking the skin and subcutaneous tissue. The treatment does not involve any bleeding but is associated with swelling, so you should allow for some downtime. This method is also suitable for treating wrinkles on the lower eyelid. The operation can be performed under local anesthesia or sedation.
One option is the aforementioned thermal shrinkage of the skin and subcutaneous tissue using plasma pen treatment. Another option is treatment using PRP (“vampire lifting”). This method is becoming increasingly popular. Here too, it may be necessary to allow for some downtime in the first few days due to swelling.
