Fallen eyelids? Do not wait needlessly.

Ancient wisdom states that the eye is the window of the soul. But when relentless gravity and drooping eyelids turn that window into peephole, it’s time to take action! A simple surgical procedure can open your eyes again!

Hubert Topinka Prim. MUDr. is among the Czech Republic’s foremost plastic  surgeons. In his thirty years of medical practice, he has served as chair of the plastic surgery department at the university hospital and chief doctor at clinic. Since 1997, he has served at the plastic surgery department at Lékařský dům Praha 7 (Medical House Prague 7), a.s.

We sit in the pleasant reception area of Lékařský dům, where we have an appointment with Mrs. Petra. She’s waiting for her first operation – upper eyelid surgery and laser surgery of the lower eyelid. It is quite unique procedure and is done at only three locations in Prague.

‘The problem runs in the family. My mother in old age could hardly see, and I don’t want to turn out the same way’, She explains. Petra is forty – four years old, and while still having a flexible and enviably slim figure, her face looks older. The skin of her upper eyelids is noticeably relaxed and reaches her lashes. Beneath her eyes are the so-called ‘bags’ fat deposits. ‘Few women know that there’s no pint in waiting with this procedure. The sooner the skin of the eyelids and mainly of those bags is repaired, the better the outcome and longer lasting the effect. In an hour and half the patient’s in the recovery room’, assures Dr. Topinka.

It’s not just about beauty
  ‘The eyelids are unfortunately one of the most sensitive areas of the face because the eyelid skin is the thinnest on the body and our age shows up earlier there than elsewhere. And in no way is it simply a matter of beauty! It affects the skin over the edge of the upper eyelid, resulting in narrowing of the visual field, which negatively affects vision and can lead to headaches. So, if drooping lids are interfering with your life, see your doctor as soon as possible.
