Robert Geiss Undergoes First Cosmetic Surgery With Eyelid Tightening in Basel

The choice spotlights the family's open approach to cosmetic procedures, prompting fresh debate over aging and elective surgery.

Overview

  • Robert Geiss, 62, had an eyelid-tightening operation in a Basel clinic, marking his first planned cosmetic surgery.
  • He said droopy lids and under-eye bags made him look tired and began to narrow his field of vision, which pushed him to proceed.
  • Geiss admitted strong fear of general anesthesia before the procedure, while wife Carmen and daughters Davina and Shania accompanied him for support.
  • Afterward he reported a fresher look and satisfaction with the result, though healing took weeks rather than the 10 to 14 days he expected.
  • The clinic visit will feature in upcoming episodes on RTLZWEI and RTL+, and coverage largely agrees it was an eyelid operation despite one outlet describing it as a facelift.
