How does a Brighten Your Eyes treatment proceed?

1.

Consultation with the specialist

1.

Consultation with the specialist

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

Our dedicated specialist will assess your eligibility for upper and/or lower eyelid correction and give you clear explanations about the treatment, pre- and aftercare, risks, costs and the expected natural end result. Photographs will be taken before treatment and later placed next to post-treatment photographs.

We fully understand how you feel. An upper eyelid correction is a procedure you may have been thinking about for years and now finally 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 smoothly with minimal swelling and bruising.

During the consultation, we will explain exactly what our wrinkle relaxer treatment does and which area can be injected. Please note that the treatment is performed 8 weeks after the treatment, during the final check-up, due to swelling present.

Treatment

Eyelid surgery line

With an upper eyelid correction, the eyelids are first marked off. The scar falls precisely in the crease of the eye, making it barely visible later.

An upper eyelid correction is a virtually painless treatment that takes about 1 hour. You should not drive yourself after the treatment because of the swelling around the eyes and the resulting reduced vision. An upper eyelid correction has long-term results.

An upper eyelid correction is 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 a prick, in the skin of the eyelids.

Eyelid correction drawing muscle

Besides removing excess skin, it may also be necessary to remove excess muscle. Of course, this does not affect the function of the eye as it involves excess muscle.

Eyelid correction drawing eye

To ensure natural and long-lasting results, it is sometimes necessary to also remove some fat. If we 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 not remove the fat.

After the excess skin, any excess muscle and, if necessary, excess fat is removed, you will be skillfully sutured again. 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.

An upper eyelid correction is a relatively simple and painless procedure that takes about 45 minutes. You can go home after the procedure and after a short rest period. You are not allowed to 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 8 to 10 years. With a healthy lifestyle and good skincare, you will get the most out of the treatment.

At the check-up, 6-8 weeks after the procedure, the wrinkle relaxer treatment can be done. Through a small injection, the relaxer is injected into the muscles around the eyes. This could be the frown, forehead or crow's feet. This relaxes the area around the eyes and softens your wrinkles. The result is a fresher, open and relaxed look that completes the upper eyelid correction just that little bit more.

You will enjoy this treatment for about 3-4 months, after that it can be repeated properly, so you can continue to shine!

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 rinse your eyes with a gentle jet. Pat the treatment area dry with a towel, without rubbing. Immediately after the upper eyelid surgery, start cooling the eyelids to reduce swelling and redness. Cool the wound for 15 minutes every hour with a cold pack and/or frozen peas, placing a gauze between your eyes and the cold pack/frozen peas. For the first few days, sleep with an extra pillow so that your head is higher. For mild pain, a paracetamol is sufficient.

In the first two weeks, do not perform any strenuous physical activity, such as heavy physical work, lifting, bending or intense sports. The stitches will be removed after 7 to 9 days. Smoking is not recommended until then. After 2 to 3 weeks, the wounds are completely closed and the scabs disappear. You may again apply make-up and wear contact lenses. You will have a check-up 6-8 weeks after the upper eyelid correction. Keep your treated eyelids out of bright sunlight and do not go under a sunbed or to the sauna for the first 3 months.

Risks

Risks

Upper eyelid surgery is a small and relatively simple 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.

Brighten your eyes

Besides giving droopy eyelids a tired look, we unconsciously overcompensate by pulling our eyebrows up. As this overloads the muscle, it often gives an oppressive feeling, causing headaches.

Frequently asked questions

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.

What is an upper eyelid correction?

An upper eyelid correction is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle tissue from the upper eyelid to correct tired or droopy eyes.

What is a medical eye lift?

An eye lift is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin and fat around the eyes to create a fresher, more youthful appearance.

What is the Milan technique for upper eyelid correction?

The Milan technique is an innovative method developed by plastic surgeons in Milan. Instead of removing skin with a traditional razor, this technique uses radiofrequency (RF) cutting. This technique creates a very precise incision and simultaneously seals small blood vessels. This reduces the risk of bleeding, bruising, and swelling. The treatment is more gentle, and recovery is often faster than with the traditional method.

Is eyelid correction covered by health insurance?

Sometimes, if there's a medical indication. In this case, it's important that you contact your health insurer yourself. We do not work with health insurers.

Are there any risks or complications associated with the treatment?

As with any surgery, there are minor risks such as infection, postoperative bleeding, or asymmetry. These are rare. Discomfort such as swelling and bruising are more common.

Does eyelid surgery hurt?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. The injections may feel uncomfortable. Afterward, you may experience some warmth and pressure, but no pain. You may also experience some discomfort and swelling after the treatment.

What is eyelid surgery?

An eyelid correction is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and/or muscle tissue around the eyes. This can reduce the appearance of heavy eyelids and create a fresh, rested appearance.

When am I eligible for eyelid surgery?

You are eligible if you suffer from drooping/heavy eyelids, a tired appearance or medical complaints such as headaches or reduced vision.

How can I best prepare for an eyelid correction?

Good preparation contributes to a smooth recovery and a beautiful result. It's best to stop smoking and taking blood-thinning medications or supplements that increase the risk of bleeding (such as aspirin or certain herbal remedies) two weeks before the procedure. Make sure you are rested and wear comfortable clothing on the day of your treatment. At SkinSurgery, we guide you step by step through our own SkinSurgery app. It contains all the important information, practical tips, and reminders for both before and after your surgery. This way, you always know exactly what to expect and you're never alone.

Can you have an eyelid correction again?

Yes, in some cases, a second procedure is possible. This usually occurs years later, when the excess or sagging skin has reappeared. Your doctor will always assess whether this is safe and appropriate.

I'm nervous about my procedure, what now?

It's perfectly normal to be nervous before a procedure. At SkinSurgery, we take the time to answer your questions and discuss all the steps with you beforehand. This way, you'll know exactly what to expect and feel confident about your treatment. We also have a fully equipped SkinSurgery app that guides you step by step before and after the procedure. Our experienced team recognizes that anxiety can be a factor and offers you the support you need. If desired, the doctor can even prescribe a mild sedative to help you start the treatment feeling relaxed.

Can I still close my eyes properly after eyelid surgery?

Yes, you can close your eyes properly after eyelid surgery. Our doctors never remove more skin than is medically safe. During the treatment, we always consider the eye's natural function, ensuring a safe and comfortable recovery.

Does smoking affect the outcome?

Smoking reduces blood flow to the skin, slowing down recovery and increasing the risk of swelling, infection, or unsightly scars. The final result may also be less attractive. For safe recovery and the best results, we recommend quitting smoking completely for at least two weeks before and after the procedure.

How long does the procedure take?

The treatment usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the complexity.
