Overview
- The TV entrepreneur underwent an eyelid lift at a cosmetic clinic in Lörrach, with the reality show Die Geissens filming the lead‑up and operation.
- He voiced strong fear of going under general anesthesia, telling cameras he felt like he might die as staff marked the incisions.
- Davina and Shania accompanied their father on the trip via private jet to Basel and to the clinic, while Carmen encouraged him from afar due to a work commitment.
- Carmen said his drooping lids had begun to hinder his sight, so the lift aimed to improve vision as well as refresh his appearance.
- Post‑op footage shows swollen, sore eyes and the use of drops, with Robert saying about three weeks later that his eyes were still quite swollen, and the episode is already available to stream on RTL+ with a TV airing promoted by RTLZWEI.
