There is no such thing as an ideal time. As a rule, there is no "too late" - so there is no need to rush. Careful evaluation of changes and planning of treatment are important and have been proven. The driving force is usually the impairment and thus the patient's desire for an eyelid correction - if a correction is postponed, a further deterioration can usually be expected, but the quality of the result is usually not affected. On the other hand, a frequent response after surgery is:

The fee schedule for doctors in Germany provides for a fee of around €1200-1800 depending on the situation and effort. This includes the costs for the use of the operating room, assistant staff and materials such as sterile goods (surgical instruments). There are also costs for a possible twilight sleep (approx. 250€). For purely aesthetic indications, VAT must be added. If there is a medical necessity, VAT does not apply. If there is a medical need, you can also apply to the health insurance companies for the costs to be covered, whereby depending on the insurance company, costs are partially or completely covered.

A frequent question is when one is socially acceptable again after eyelid surgery. This depends on many factors. Of course, the extent of the operation performed is decisive. A classic upper eyelid correction, for example, is not the same for everyone. An operation with an experienced surgeon can vary from less than 10 minutes in terms of time alone. to over 30-40min. per eye. A general rule is that the younger the patient, the smaller the extent of the necessary measures. In addition, younger people usually do not have any anticoagulant medication or wound healing weaknesses, for example. As a result, younger people tend to heal faster. However, a good rule of thumb is to reckon with 10 days in which it will be difficult to hide the fact that an operation has taken place. Smaller remnants of a bruise that are still present can usually be well concealed from this point in time.
