Charlotte Würdig Weighs Eyelid Surgery After Doctor’s Warning

She says the prospect of local anesthesia is the main reason she has not scheduled the operation.

Overview

  • On her podcast The Real Ex-Wives, the 47-year-old said her hooded eyelids bother her and she is preparing for an upper-eyelid blepharoplasty.
  • She recounted an eye doctor’s advice that reddening skin around her eyes could inflame from friction, giving the procedure a medical rationale.
  • For now she uses transparent eyelid tapes for a temporary lift, but she says they itch and are not a lasting solution.
  • Würdig said she fears being awake for a locally anesthetized operation and would prefer general anesthesia.
  • Co-host Georgina Stumpf suggested laser treatment, which Würdig called less durable at her age; the episode was titled “Schamlippenaugen,” and she noted friends and her mother were happy with similar surgeries.
