Until 14 August 2024, candidate models for eyelid surgery may contact us. Eligible candidates are ageing upper and lower eyelids, baggy lower eyelids (bulging fat tissue), ptosis (drooping of one or both eyelid edges themselves), drooping eyebrows.
Educational purpose of the project: filming the operation as part of continuous medical education for physicians. One or more of the edited films will be shown at a leading medical congress, and remain available via secure access for consultation by interested doctors.
The models are primarily patients. A treatment proposal will be issued and they will make a final decision only after a reflection period of at least 15 days. The fee for making the images available is a greatly reduced rate.
This is a one-off project, and a departure from the general rule of not seeking models for surgical corrections. There is no point in contacting us about other surgeries or doing so after the date mentioned. Applicants must live close enough to be followed up with sufficient ease.
Images of aesthetic treatments help to inform physicians, who perform aesthetic medicine, and the general public about treatment options.
Doctors who practice aesthetic medicine sometimes observe treatments by their colleagues to improve their knowledge.
Manufacturers of medical devices and medication also organise studies in the field of aesthetics.
Clinical studies have to comply with strict legal regulations and are subject to approval by and independent, ethical committee.
You can enroll in a recruitment pool of volunteers - models for these non-surgical treatments, so that we can inform you in due time if such opportunity arises in our practice. Your participation is compensated by a significantly reduced tariff or a treatment at no cost.
There is no possibility at all to be a model for surgical treatment. It is useless to request it by e-mail or to get in touch about this by any other means.
