About 4 weeks before the surgery, you should reduce smoking. Moreover, alcohol should be avoided. About 2 weeks before the surgery you should not take anticoagulants (Aspirin, acetylsalicylic acid containing drugs). About 2 weeks before the surgery you should avoid sunbathing or solarium particularly on the face.

In order to conduct the surgery you need a blood count and an electrocardiogram. In case you want to have the results before your appointment with your surgeon, your general practitioner can provide you with them. In this case you can bring the results with you (the results should not be older than two weeks). However, it is not mandatory to conduct these tests beforehand. The tests that you need in order to decide if you are ready for the operation will also be made directly at the clinic.

You should have sun glasses with you, to wear it after the surgery in order to protect the fresh scars. When travelling home, you should not drive yourself, as the eyes still need a lot of rest and are very sensitive.

During the first few days after the surgery you should reduce your activities to a minimum. After about 1-2 weeks you can carry out your every day activities as usual again. Taking showers one day after the surgery is usually not a problem. However, you have to take care that the eyes are protected against sunlight. After about 4 weeks you can do sports again.

You should avoid sunbaths, solarium, and sauna for about 6 weeks. After about 4 weeks you can apply eye makeup again. Please look after the scars after the stitches have been removed (after about 5-7 days) by applying panthenol-containing ointments. After about 10 days you can use moisturiser for the eye region again.

After an eyelid lift you may feel a slight tension. This can usually be alleviated by eye ointments and eye drops. After the treatment there can occur swellings, “black eyes”, and a feeling of tautness. These symptoms however subside within a few weeks. Like after every other surgery there are risks of possible infections, unaesthetic scars, an enduring feeling of tautness, pain, and haematoma.

A circulatory disorder as a result of nicotine can lead to a wound necrosis. A very rare complication is a permanent facial musculature disorder, which can occur in case nerves are injured. Particularly after large surgeries in the area of the eyelid musculature, it is possible that the eyelids cannot be completely closed.

Even when the wound healing is normal, scars can initially become red or harden. After a while they will fade, they become inconspicuous. You will be informed on further risks and possible side-effects in a comprehensive handout.
