Eyelid surgeries at Copenhagen Eye Centre (Øjenlægernes Center)

We offer a variety of eyelid surgeries to optimize appearance and/or function. Generally, we distinguish between upper eyelid surgeries and lower eyelid surgeries. Additionally, there are several eyelid surgeries falling under these two main categories. These include entropion surgery and ectropion surgery, targeting inward-turning and outward-turning eyelids, respectively. Suffering from these challenges often leads to dry eyes and can cause irritation and infection. Following the initial consultation, we tailor the treatment to your specific challenges. You are always welcome to contact the clinic to learn more about what we can offer and what to expect from the various surgeries.

Upper eyelid surgery:

Upper eyelid surgery is offered to those who have heavy eyelids, which can also cause a restriction of the field of vision. Here, we remove excess skin and fatty tissue, which improves the field of vision and reduces under-eye bags.

Lower eyelid surgery:

For this type of operation, excess skin and fatty tissue are removed from the lower eyelid, primarily done for cosmetic reasons.
What a fantastic result and experience!
Både min mand og jeg har fået fjernet overskydende hun på øjenlågene af Niels. Begge operationer er lykkedes med overvældende flot resultat – og uden smerter overhovedet.

Tænk, at han ydermere godt en uge efter indgrebet kontakter min mand pr. tlf. for lige at høre om alt er vel. Vi har begge følt os i meget trygge og omsorgsfulde hænder hos Niels. Vores varmeste anbefaling!

Before, During, and After Eyelid Surgery

Copenhagen Eye Centre (Øjenlægernes Center) prioritizes professionalism, and we have some of the country’s most experienced and qualified specialists on board. Copenhagen Eye Centre (Øjenlægernes Center) west of Storebælt collaborates with eye surgeon Niels Rath, who is one of the country’s leading experts in eyelid surgeries. We offer a comprehensive analysis of your eye surroundings, including any drooping eyebrows and other anatomical features of your face. Our highest priorities are for you to feel safe throughout the process and leave with a satisfactory result.

The process before, during, and after the eyelid surgery is individual and naturally depends on the planned treatment. A typical process at the Ophthalmologists Center is as follows:

  • Before the eyelid surgery, you will meet with the surgeon for a consultation, where we will go through the procedure and answer any questions.
  • The surgery takes place under local anesthesia (unless otherwise agreed), and the surgeon provides frequent updates throughout. Incisions made during the surgery are closed with fine sutures, which are removed after approximately 1.5 weeks.
  • After the surgery, swelling and possibly discoloration in the eye surroundings may occur, and you will be asked to refrain from strenuous activities for several weeks. The surgeon provides thorough post-treatment instructions.
