Dr. Dirk Richter is highly specialized in eyelid corrections, also known as blepharoplasty. This procedure gives a more youthful and vital appearance. With over 30 years of professional experience and a great passion for this operation, Dr. Richter brings a high level of expertise and commitment to the table. Blepharoplasty requires a great deal of experience and knowledge in plastic surgery. Surgeons who perform this procedure must have a deep understanding of the functional relationships and anatomy of the eyelids. Excessive removal of skin, muscle or fat can have serious consequences. As the former longtime head physician at Trinity Hospital in Wesseling, Germany, Dr. Richter is an experienced blepharoplasty surgeon who can help you enhance your appearance and accentuate your beauty while providing the safety needed to avoid complications. A consultation with Dr. Richter will provide you with all the information you need to understand which procedures are right for you. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Upper blepharoplasty (drooping eyelids, sagging eyelids, eyebrow heaviness):<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
This surgical procedure opens the upper eyelid and makes the eyes appear more lively and youthful. In more severe cases, upper blepharoplasty can improve vision if the eyelid is obstructing the field of vision. Causes can be genetic excess skin or muscle weakness (levator ptosis), which Dr. Richter carefully diagnoses and treats with special muscle tightening. Sometimes it is also necessary to lift the eyebrow, which Dr. Richter can do without additional incisions (internal brow-fix) or using the innovative gliding brow lift. The so-called ROOF fat behind the eyebrow can also be trimmed to prevent the eyebrows from drooping sideways. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Lower blepharoplasty (bags under the eyes):<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Dr. Richter performs blepharoplasty almost daily to reduce bags under the eyes and fill in hollows around the eyes. Excess fat is transferred to the hollows (tear trough) to reduce elevations and restore the natural contours of youth. Muscles are tightened and securing sutures (canthopexy) are routinely used to avoid complications. Corrective surgery on the lower eyelid is significantly more demanding than on the upper eyelid and is only routinely performed by a small number of surgeons. Dr. Richter is known worldwide for this procedure and is highly regarded in specialist circles for his advanced techniques and stable, natural results. Many eyelid lifts are also performed in conjunction with a facelift to reduce overall downtime. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
