Treatment

Eyelid surgery line

In eyelid surgery, the upper eyelids are first marked off. The scar falls precisely into the natural folds of the skin, making it barely visible later.

Eyelid surgery illustration photo

Eyelid correction is a minor surgical procedure performed, under local anaesthesia, during a day surgery. If you are very nervous before the procedure, we can prescribe sedative medication. It is important that you feel comfortable during the procedure. The eyelids are numbed with small injections, in the skin of the eyelids.

Eyelid correction drawing muscle

As we age, in addition to the skin, the muscle slackens. For a beautiful and natural result, our doctors correct this muscle. During a no-obligation consultation, our specialist will give appropriate advice based on your indication.

To ensure natural and long-lasting results, it is sometimes necessary to also remove some fat. If we were to leave excess fat in place, it will again cause the eyelids to sag. Also, you will continue to have "fat/puffy" eyes which becomes more prominent if you remove the excess skin but do not take the fat with you.

After we have corrected the skin nicely, the eyelids are sutured. The eyelids are sutured with one continuous, insoluble suture. The scar later falls nicely into the crease so that it is minimally visible.

You will not be allowed to remove the stitches by yourself. You will come for a check-up after one week so that we can see how you are doing. This is also the time when the stitches are removed. This is rather painless and done in no time.

Eyelid surgery is a relatively minor and painless treatment that takes about 45 minutes. You can go home after the procedure and after a short rest period. You should not drive your own car because of the swelling around the eyes and the resulting reduced vision.

The treatment has long-term results. Depending on the shape of your eyes, you will enjoy eyelid correction for at least eight to 10 years. With a healthy lifestyle and good skin care, you will get the most out of the treatment.

Aftercare

3.

Aftercare

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

You may shower one day (24 hours) after the procedure and gently rinse your eyes. Gently pat the treatment area dry without rubbing. Start cooling immediately after eyelid surgery to reduce swelling and redness. Cool for 15 minutes every hour with a cold pack or frozen peas, with a gauze in between. For the first few days, sleep with an extra pillow so that your head is higher. For mild pain, paracetamol is sufficient.

Avoid strenuous physical activity such as lifting, bending, or intense sports in the first two weeks after your eyelid surgery. Sutures will be removed after 7 to 9 days. Do not smoke until then. After 2 to 3 weeks, the wounds are closed and the scabs are gone, and you can wear make-up and contact lenses again. After 6 to 8 weeks, you will come for a check-up. Avoid bright sun, tanning beds and sauna for the first 3 months.

Risks

Risks

Eyelid surgery is a relatively minor procedure, with no major risks or risk of complications. It is normal to see redness, swelling and bruising around the eyes after treatment. You may experience mild post-treatment pain that passes on its own or with a paracetamol. Occasionally, complications occur, such as post-operative bleeding, eye inflammation, uneven eyelids, cysts or scarring. When in doubt, always contact the specialists at SkinSurgery Clinics.

Excellent service

I was 1000% pleased with the treatment. I was very well talked through everything and put at ease. I can't say anything about the end result yet, because I'm still wearing patches.

We are happy to assist you

Always the right eyelid surgery

High-quality team. Excellent aftercare. Great recovery. All they see is you beaming.

Surgical technique

In addition to excess skin, there is often excess muscle and fat. As you get older, muscle slackens in addition to skin, giving fatty tissue room to come forward.

Brighten your eyes package

Drooping eyelids can make you look tired, even if you are rested and have had enough sleep. Another annoying side effect is that you start pulling your eyebrows a lot to literally 'hold up' the eyelids. Here, there may be pressure on the forehead or you may suffer from dry eyes.

Frequently asked questions about eyelid surgery

Do you have a question that is not answered? Feel free to contact us Monday to Sunday, between 08:00 and 22:00, at the following number or email.

Aftercare after eyelid surgery

Door onze jarenlange ervaring in het uitvoeren van oodlidcorrecties, werken we met een speciaal voor – en nazorg protocol. Zo ben je optimaal voorbereid en herstel je zonder complicaties. Het kan zijn dat na het uitwerken van de plaatselijke verdoving je wat pijn kan ervaren. Meestal is pijnstilling met paracetamol hiervoor voldoende. Verder mag je op de dag van de operatie niet zelf autorijden. Verder adviseren wij om geen auto te rijden zolang je zicht belemmerd is. Contactlenzen mag je gedurende 2 weken niet gebruiken. Make-up kan je weer gebruiken na het verwijderen van de hechtingen, als alle korstjes verdwenen zijn. Wij raden je aan om niet te roken tot het verwijderen van de hechtingen. Roken verhoogt de kans op complicaties. We adviseren je de littekens gedurende 3 maanden na de operatie niet bloot te stellen aan UV- zonlicht en/of de zonnebank.

When can I wear lenses or make-up again?

We recommend not wearing lenses or make-up for at least 2 weeks after your eyelid surgery. It is important to leave the treated area alone as much as possible so that it can recover properly and you can enjoy a radiant look faster. A week after your eyelid correction, you will come for a check-up and the stitches will be removed for our specialist.

Who is eyelid surgery suitable for?

Undergoing eyelid surgery can be an exciting step, have you been thinking about it for some time but unsure when it is the right time? If you look in the mirror and see a gloomy or tired face around the eyes, even when you are well rested, you may have already considered doing something about it. Eyelid surgery can help with this. Overhanging eyelids can also cause symptoms, such as limited vision and headaches due to extra exertion of the eye muscles. To determine whether you qualify for an upper eyelid correction and/or lower eyelid correction, or a combined procedure, a no-obligation consultation with our specialists is the best first step.

Cost of eyelid surgery

SkinSurgery Clinics is transparant en eerlijk in haar prijzen. We vinden kwaliteit belangrijk, en werken daarom alleen met ervaren cosmetisch artsen. Omdat iedereen uniek is, kan hetgeen dat aan de oogleden gecorrigeerd kan worden per persoon verschillen. Soms is het alleen noodzakelijk de huid te verwijderen, de vet pockets- of spierweefsel. In onze kliniek vinden we twee zaken hierin belangrijk: langdurig en natuurlijk resultaat. In sommige gevallen worden de kosten van een bovenooglidcorrectie vergoed in Nederland door de zorgverzekering, maar dit hangt af van de medische noodzaak van de ingreep. Over het algemeen wordt een bovenooglidcorrectie alleen vergoed als er sprake is van een functioneel probleem, zoals een ernstig beperkt gezichtsveld door hangende oogleden (ptosis). In zulke gevallen kan de ingreep als medisch noodzakelijk worden beschouwd. Of de kosten van een bovenooglidcorrectie vergoed worden, is ook afhankelijk van je verzekering. Onderzoek of je een aanvullende verzekering hebt, om zeker te zijn van vergoeding. Bovenooglidcorrectie beiderzijds – huidresectie Indien er alleen sprake is van overtollig huid, zal een ooglidcorrectie met huidresectie voldoende zijn. Het onderliggende spierweefsel of de vetpockets worden in dit geval niet gecorrigeerd. Bovenooglidcorrectie beiderzijds – huidresectie en aanpassen spier Vaak is er, naast overtollig huid, ook sprake van verslapping van de orbicularis oculi: de spier die gebruikt wordt bij het sluiten en openen van de oogleden. Door een klein reepje te verwijderen, wordt het resultaat natuurlijker dan wanneer we alleen huid zouden verwijderen terwijl er sprake is van vet pockets en verslapte spier. Bovenooglidcorrectie beiderzijds – huidresectie, spier en vetpockets verwijderen Bij wat dikke oogleden, of puffy eyes, is het vaak noodzakelijk om naast huid en spier, ook wat vet te verwijderen. Dit vet ‘duwt’ als het ware tegen het septum, de spier en de huid en veroorzaakt daardoor gedeeltelijk de hangende oogleden. Om langdurige resultaten te kunnen garanderen, is het bij deze indicatie dus noodzakelijk om ook het vet te verwijderen.

When can I wear lenses and make-up again?

We recommend not wearing lenses or make-up for at least 2 weeks after your eyelid surgery. It is important to leave the treated area alone as much as possible so that it can recover properly and you can enjoy a radiant look faster. A week after your eyelid correction, you will come for a check-up and the stitches will be removed for our specialist.

Meestal is pijnstilling met paracetamol voldoende na de operatie. Wij adviseren u om geen auto te rijden op de dag van de ingreep en zolang uw zicht belemmerd is. Na een week komt u langs op controle voor de hechtingen verwijderen. Contactlenzen en make-up mag u gedurende 2 weken niet gebruiken. Wij raden u aan om niet te roken tot 2 weken na de ingreep. Roken verhoogt de kans op complicaties. We adviseren u de littekens gedurende 3 maanden na de operatie niet bloot te stellen aan UV- zonlicht en/of de zonnebank.

What exactly is eyelid surgery?

Eyelid surgery involves the removal of skin and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids. When eyelid surgery is performed from a cosmetic point of view, it can achieve a fresher and more rested look. Eyelid surgery can also be performed from a medical standpoint when the overhanging eyelids are causing symptoms. In both cases, the procedure is the same and skin is surgically removed.

Post-treatments and check-ups after eyelid surgery

7-9 days after your eyelid surgery, the stitches and plasters will be removed during your check-up appointment. 6-8 weeks after surgery, you will come for a check-up with one of our specialists.
