What is a „laser-assisted“ upper eyelid lift?

In contrast to conventional methods, the incision is not made solely with a scalpel, but is supported by the eCO2 laser. The laser cuts and coagulates simultaneously, providing maximum protection for the surrounding tissue.

After careful planning and marking, the procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. The primary advantage is that you can immediately return to your daily routine without the need for an inpatient hospital stay.

The laser allows for the precisely controlled removal of excess skin and—if necessary—fatty tissue. The incision is placed within the natural eyelid crease, ensuring the resulting scar heals almost invisibly. The surgical duration is usually 45–60 minutes.
