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.

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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
By combining an upper eyelid correction with a Botox treatment, we truly give you back a fresh look. A unique treatment plan, put together with love for you.
