For many patients, an eyelid lift in Essen represents an opportunity to get rid of unloved "bags under the eyes" and "drooping eyelids" and to regain a fresher and more youthful facial expression. Since the skin on the eyelids has a particularly thin structure, the signs of the times are usually the first noticeable there. Patients then often radiate a feeling of exhaustion outwardly, which does not correspond to the actual feeling. It can even happen that the field of vision is restricted if the "drooping eyelids" are particularly pronounced. With an eyelid lift in Essen, those affected have the opportunity to regain a more lively facial expression without changing their basic appearance.

Who is an eyelid lift in Essen suitable for?
Patients interested in an eyelid lift in Essen often suffer from sagging and wrinkled skin around the eye area. The excess tissue on the upper eyelid is mainly caused by the loss of skin elasticity. The so-called eye bags on the lower eyelid are formed as a result of the natural aging process or are hereditary. They consist of swollen fatty tissue in the eye socket, which can no longer be held by the weakened ligament structures of the inside of the eye. During an eyelid lift in Essen, the doctor removes the excess skin and fatty tissue and thus gives the eyes a more alert appearance.

Eyelid lift in Essen - the consultation
Before patients decide to have an eyelid lift in Essen, they should always have a detailed consultation with their doctor. Those affected have the opportunity to openly communicate their questions and wishes to the doctor and are also informed about possible risks. In addition, a detailed examination of the eyes takes place in order to rule out possible previous illnesses. Patients are also advised not to use cosmetics or creams around the eyes on the day of the operation. Even if the eyelid lift in Essen is one of the low-risk procedures, as with any operation there is a risk of infection and bleeding. Patients should also be aware that two eyes never look the same and that slight asymmetries can occur even after the eyelid lift. In addition, the doctor cannot reverse the natural aging process with the procedure, but he can very well adapt your eye expression to your youthful attitude to life.

How does an eyelid lift work in Essen?
During an eyelid lift in Essen, the doctor removes the excess skin and fatty tissue. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes about half an hour per lid. On the upper eyelid, a cut is necessary along the natural crease of the eyelid; on the lower eyelid, the cut is about 2mm below the edge of the eyelid. The cuts run past the corner of the eye on both sides and end in a laugh line on the lower eyelid. Of course, this creates scars that patients should be aware of beforehand. How the scars heal depends on the skin's healing tendency, which is different in every person. In the eye, however, the healing process is generally very positive, so that patients should not be too concerned if the scar begins to redden and swell. In addition, the scar can only be seen when the eye is closed due to its location on the crease.

What do patients have to consider after an eyelid lift in Essen?
Immediately after the eyelid lift in Essen, it is advisable to rest for about two hours with the upper body slightly lifted under medical supervision so that any complications that may arise can be treated immediately. As soon as the anesthetic wears off, you may experience slight pain. To support the healing process, it is advisable to cool with cold compresses. The swelling and bruising usually go away after about two weeks. In the first few weeks after the eyelid lift in Essen, the doctor recommends wearing dark glasses and avoiding direct sunlight. Patients should also initially refrain from physically demanding activities, sport and going to the sauna.

With an eyelid lift, an experienced surgeon can give a face a significantly fresher, younger look. Accordingly, eyelid correction is equally popular with male and female patients. The human eyelid fulfills important functions that should not be overlooked when performing an eyelid lift.

What to consider when doing an eyelid lift: Functions of the eyelid
The main purpose of the human eyelid is to protect the eye from contact and other harmful environmental influences. By blinking (blinking), it also ensures continuous moistening of the cornea and dermis. Without this supply of tear fluid, the outermost layers of the eye would dry out and be damaged in the long term. Therefore, a functioning eyelid is also important for maintaining good eyesight. In addition, the eyelids, as part of the eye area, make a significant contribution to a person's facial expressions. Eyelids can express certain feelings such as joy and sadness, but also horror or fatigue.

When doing an eyelid lift, these various functional aspects must be taken into account.

Bags under the eyes and drooping eyelids: signs of aging of the eyelids
In the course of life, the human face changes continuously. With advancing age, the elasticity and firmness of connective tissue and skin in particular decrease, causing many areas of the face to sag or sag. The aging process does not leave the eyelids without a trace. Here, sagging is particularly noticeable in the form of bags under the eyes and drooping eyelids. These signs of the times would not be a reason for an eyelid lift in and of themselves. However, excess tissue in the upper eyelid area (drooping eyelids) can sometimes impair the visual field. In this case, an eyelid tightening is not only indicated for purely aesthetic reasons, but also makes sense due to functional limitations.

Options for eyelid tightening in Essen

Depending on the findings, Dr. Go back to the appropriate surgical method: bags under the eyes can be removed with a lower eyelid lift, while an upper eyelid lift is the method of choice for drooping eyelids.

In doing so, Dr. Make sure you keep your eyelids closed optimally so as not to impair the function of the eyelids.

Many people associate a nose operation primarily with the correction of the nose based on aesthetic wishes and ideas. And in fact, the aesthetic nose operation is one of the most common so-called cosmetic operations worldwide. However, only those who suffer from actual functional complaints in connection with their nose are usually aware that a nose correction can also be medically necessary. In this case, the specialist in ear, nose and throat medicine will explain whether a nose operation can solve the problem.

Aesthetic wishes as a reason for a nose operation
Often a nose operation is based on aesthetic desires. Quite a few people are bothered by a nose that is too large and that does not match the other proportions of the face. A so-called hump nose is also the reason that many people are interested in nose surgery. Thanks to proven techniques, an experienced nasal surgeon is able to correct the nose in terms of size, length, shape or width. Aesthetic correction of the nose is often the step towards a happier life for patients who have suffered from the shape of their nose for a long time.

Functional reasons for a nose operation
In many cases, functional problems, particularly difficult nasal breathing, actually make nasal surgery a medically necessary procedure. Reasons for problems with nasal breathing include a crooked nasal septum or enlarged turbinates. Blockages of the nose due to malformations, tumors, polyps or the consequences of injuries are less common. During a detailed examination, the specialist determines the causes of the breathing problems and recommends the appropriate therapy - for example a nose operation.

Aesthetic facial surgery is at home all over the world and is enjoying increasing popularity. Most of the operations are carried out in the USA and Brazil, and many aesthetic operations are also carried out in Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea. This was the result of a study of surgical and non-surgical interventions worldwide by the International Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), which was published in 2015.

Brazil leads the ranking in facial aesthetic surgery
According to the study, over 500,000 operations in the field of aesthetic facial surgery took place in Brazil, which corresponds to a global share of almost 12%. The USA follows closely behind, accounting for 10.4% of all facial surgeries worldwide. Germany ranks sixth with over 100,000 interventions.

Almost 250,000 ear corrections worldwide
In the field of ear correction, Brazil ranks first with over 45,000 procedures, followed by the USA with more than 13,000 procedures. Mexico ranks third worldwide with over 10,000 operations. In Germany, the ear correction was performed almost 6,000 times in 2014, which corresponds to seventh place in the study.

Mostly female patients undergoing rhinoplasty
Almost three-quarters of all patients, 72.3%, were female when it came to rhinoplasty, but rhinoplasty only ranks sixth among all operations for women and second for men. Rhinoplasty was the most common type of procedure in South Korea, with over 100,000 procedures.

The rhinoplasty is one of the most demanding operations in plastic surgery. The anatomy of the nose is complex and the olfactory epithelium (a layer of cells in the top of the nasal cavity) connects the nasal cavity and the brain directly. Therefore, only experienced specialists should perform rhinoplasty. Dr. Holger Marsch, specialist in ear, nose and throat medicine with additional qualification in plastic operations, has many years of experience in nose corrections. In his practice in Essen, he performs nose corrections almost every week.

Comprehensive advice before each rhinoplasty
Well-informed patients are the be-all and end-all for the ENT specialist in Essen. Before each rhinoplasty, he advises and examines his patients in detail, explains the risks and possible complications. Despite the difficult surgical technique, the risks associated with surgical rhinoplasty are rather low. However, as with any operation, wound infections and intolerance, for example, are possible. Dr. Marsch recommends that his patients write down their wishes and questions before the consultation. "The better informed our patients are, the fewer uncertainties and fears they feel, even before a nose operation," says the Essen specialist. So it is important that patients do not take aspirin or other antipyretic, anti-rheumatic drugs or high-dose vitamin E before a rhinoplasty, because these preparations delay blood clotting.

Thorough examination before rhinoplasty
A thorough examination of every patient, especially of the nose and face, takes place prior to the rhinoplasty procedure. The examination is particularly important in order to rule out functional disorders of the nose and to select the correct surgical method for each individual. The breathing function of the nose should be checked, a smell test carried out and - if necessary - an X-ray of the paranasal sinuses should be made.

Rhinoplasty is one of the most common operations in facial aesthetic surgery, but also in plastic surgery as a whole. The fact that rhinoplasty is so popular in Essen and beyond is mainly due to the fact that the nose is so important for the effect and charisma of a person due to its central location on the face. For those who are dissatisfied with their nose, nose surgery is a good and low-risk option.
But which characteristics can be changed in a nose operation?

Rhinoplasty in Essen: Various changes in shape
In the course of a nose operation, the shape of the nose can be corrected in many ways. Since both bone and cartilage material are processed during the procedure, the height, width, length and shape of the nose can be changed. The focus of the operation can be on the bridge of the nose as well as the ala or the tip of the nose. When choosing a surgeon, however, patients should always make sure that they are experienced surgeons who pay attention not only to aesthetic but also to functional aspects during the rhinoplasty. Because hardly anyone will be happy about a supposedly more beautiful nose if their nasal breathing is impaired.

Indications for a nose job in Essen
In medicine, an indication is the reason for a certain measure, i.e. a treatment or an operation. There are also a number of typical indications for rhinoplasty. This includes, for example, the so-called hump nose, in which the nasal bone is marked by a clear hump or hook. Another example is the saddle nose, recognizable by a heavily sunken bridge of the nose. The crooked nose, on the other hand, is - unsurprisingly - a clearly crooked or crooked nose. Other indications are the bulbous nose (also known as rhinophyma) and the balloon nose.
