Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)

High quality team. Excellent aftercare. Smooth recovery. They only see you shining

You deserve to shine every moment of the day. A tired or gloomy look will make you feel less comfortable. Overhanging eyelids and puffiness are often the cause. In addition to the aesthetic aspect, overhanging eyelids can also restrict your vision and cause headaches. Are people asking you more and more often if you are tired? Or do you want to get rid of that eternal headache? An eyelid correction ensures a fresh and rested look. You shine again. The doctors at Skin + Surgery Clinics are specialists in carrying out this operation. Our team will guide you through the entire process. With a specially developed aftercare protocol, you will recover quickly after your operation with minimal swelling and bruising. With us, a natural result comes first. The outside world will see nothing of the procedure, they will only see you radiate. We have offices in The Hague (also easy to reach from Leiden) & Rotterdam.

Asian men and women often quickly suffer from overhanging eyelids. This happens at an early age.  The ‘Asian eyelid surgery’ is therefore a popular operation in Asia and is becoming increasingly popular in the Netherlands. Performing an Asian eyelid correction requires a great deal of expertise and precision due to the anomalous anatomy. For example, an Asian eye often has a single eyelid fold. By creating an extra crease, the face immediately acquires a more expressive appearance.

Skin+Surgery is a specialist in the field of Asian eyelid corrections. By creating a double crease, your eyes become more expressive and your makeup and mascara remain more beautiful. More information about this procedure can be found here.

Free consultation

Mon. till su. from 08:00 till 22:00

An eyelid correction is always preceded by a no-obligation consultation. In a personal conversation with our surgeons in a relaxed setting, you can ask all your questions, discuss your wishes and express your expectations about the treatment.

Our specialist involved will assess whether you qualify for a correction of the upper and/or lower eyelids and will give you a clear explanation of the treatment, the aftercare, the risks, the costs and the expected natural end result. Photographs will be taken before the treatment, which will later be placed next to photos taken after the treatment.

We understand very well how you feel. An eyelid correction is an operation that you may have thought about for years and now eventually dare to take the step. We are happy to guide you through the process from A to Z. With a specially developed aftercare protocol, you will recover quickly with minimal swelling and bruising.

Are you curious or do you have personal questions for the surgeon? Feel free to book a consultation without any obligation. We will be happy to talk to you.

An upper eyelid correction and lower eyelid correction is performed under local anaesthetic during a day treatment. If you are very nervous before the operation, we can prescribe calming medication. It is important that you feel comfortable during the procedure.

In the case of an upper eyelid correction to correct drooping eyelids, the eyelids are first marked. Afterwards, the excess skin and underlying fatty tissue will be removed. The scar falls precisely into the fold of the eye and is therefore barely visible later on.

In the case of a lower eyelid correction for bags under the eyes, a minimal incision is made just below the eyelash rim or on the inside of the lower eyelid, after which the bags are removed.

An eyelid correction is a relatively simple and painless treatment that lasts approximately 1 hour. You can go home after the operation and after a short rest period. Because of the swelling around the eyes and the reduced vision, you are not allowed to drive a car yourself. The treatment has a long-lasting result. Depending on the shape of your eyes, you will enjoy the correction of the eyelids for at least 10 to 15 years. With a healthy lifestyle and good skin care you will get the most out of the treatment.

 

Your aftercare is our concern. We work with a specially developed aftercare protocol, so that you recover quickly with minimal risk of complications.

You are allowed to shower one day after the operation and rinse your eyes with a gentle stream of water. Dab the treatment area dry with a towel without rubbing. Immediately after the eyelid correction, start cooling the eyelids to prevent swelling and redness. Cool the wound every hour for fifteen minutes with cooling glasses, placing a gauze between your eyes and the cooling glasses. Sleep the first few days with an extra pillow so that your head is higher. In case of mild pain a paracetamol is sufficient.

In the first week, do not make heavy physical efforts, such as heavy physical labour, lifting, bending down or intensive sports. The stitches are removed after 7 to 9 days. It is not recommended to smoke until that time. After 2 to 3 weeks the wounds will be completely closed and the scabs will disappear. You may reapply make-up and wear contact lenses. You will be checked by your doctor up to 6 weeks after the eyelid correction. For the first 3 months, keep your treated eyelids out of bright sunshine and do not go under a tanning bed or to the sauna.

An eyelid correction is a small and relatively simple procedure, without major risks or risk of complications. It is normal for redness, swelling and bruising around the eyes to be visible after treatment. You may suffer from mild afterpain that goes away on its own or with a paracetamol. Occasional complications may occur, such as bleeding, eye inflammation, numbness of the eyelid rim, uneven eyelids, cysts or scarring. If in doubt, always contact the Skin + Surgery Clinics specialists.

Frequently Asked Questions

An eyelid correction removes excess skin and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids. When an eyelid correction is carried out from a cosmetic point of view, a fresher and more rested look can be achieved. An eyelid correction can also be carried out from a medical point of view if the overhanging eyelids cause complaints. In both cases, the procedure is the same.

Often you have been considering an eyelid correction for some time, but when you actually take the step is different for everyone. If you look in the mirror and notice that you have a gloomy or tired look, even when you are well rested, you may have already considered doing something about it. An eyelid correction offers a solution here. However, an eyelid correction is not only a solution to a cosmetic problem. Overhanging eyelids can cause various complaints. In some cases they can restrict vision. Overhanging eyelids can also cause headaches, because your muscles have to make more effort to keep your eyes open. Regardless of the underlying desire for your eyelid correction, it is important to first find out if you are eligible for it. The best way to do this is to request a free consultation with our specialists.

Performing an eyelid correction requires professional work. There are different types of eyelid corrections, all of which have a different intended result. In order to determine whether you are eligible for the procedure and to determine which technique best suits your desired result, a preliminary examination is required. During the preliminary examination there is room to ask all your questions. Photographs will also be taken for the medical file. With the preliminary examination we ensure that you get a realistic expectation of the intended results.

Thanks to our many years of experience in performing oodlink corrections, we work with a special pre- and after-care protocol. In this way you are optimally prepared and recover without complications.

Usually, pain management with paracetamol after surgery is sufficient.
We advise you not to drive a car on the day of the operation and as long as your vision is limited.

Contact lenses should not be used for 2 weeks. After removing the stitches the make-up can be used again once all the scabs have disappeared.
We advise you not to smoke until the stitches have been removed. Smoking increases the risk of complications. We advise you not to expose the scars to UV light and/or the sunbed for 3 months after the operation.

We advise you to cool down every hour for 15 minutes on the day of surgery by means of a cool pack or a bag of peas from the freezer. While cooling, place a gauze between the eyes and the cooling element.

After the operation you may suffer from bruising and swelling of the eyelids, which may prevent you from closing your eyes completely after the operation. This will recover as soon as the swelling has subsided. Do not cut off the ends of the stitches yourself.

You may take a shower again the day after the operation. After showering, try to dab the wound dry and not sweep it.

You will suffer the least swelling after the operation when you sleep with an extra pillow so that your head is higher than the rest of your body.
During the first week after the operation, try not to bend down, heavy lifting, coughing and squeezing.

After 7-9 days the stitches and plasters will be removed during the inspection appointment.
You will come to your attending physician for a check-up up to 6 weeks after the operation.
