Consultation with doctor
An eyelid correction in Delft is always preceded by a consultation with one of our qualified and experienced doctors. You can easily book an appointment for a free consultation via our website. During the personal interview with our surgical doctor, you can indicate what bothers you, what eye complaints you have and what you would like to see changed. The consultation takes place in a relaxed setting so that you feel completely at ease. You will have the conversation with the doctor treating you.
You may during the free consultation ask all your questions about treatment, aftercare, risks and costs. You will get expert and honest answers. Your eligibility for an eyelid correction will be examined. You will receive clear explanations about the entire treatment process and the expected result. During this first consultation, photos are taken of you before treatment. At a later stage, these are compared with the photos taken after the surgery. You can thus see the positive effect of the eyelid correction in Delft.

Treatment
2.
Treatment
An eyelid correction in Delft required no admission at our clinic. It is an outpatient treatment and relatively simple procedure performed under local anaesthetic. If you are very nervous, sedative medication can be prescribed. Our patients are allowed to go home after the procedure and after a short rest period. An upper eyelid correction is performed for drooping eyelids. The treatment area is first marked off. After a minute incision, the excess skin and fatty tissue is removed. The scar of the suture falls precisely into the natural skin fold. This is virtually invisible later.
A lower eyelid correction is performed if you suffer from bags under your eyes. Our specialist makes a small incision under the lash line, after which the excess skin and fatty tissue under the eyes is removed. The skin is then pulled together and sutured. The scar under your eyelashes is hardly visible, if at all. An eyelid correction is a 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 eyelid correction has long-term results. You will - with good skin care and a healthy lifestyle - enjoy the treatment for 10 to 15 years.

Aftercare

Aftercare
You are guaranteed at Skin + Surgery excellent aftercare. We follow an aftercare protocol to minimise the risks and chances of complications. Swelling and redness after eyelid surgery in Delft can be effectively controlled with cooling goggles. You place a gauze pad between your eyes and the cooling goggles. It helps to sleep with an extra pillow for the first few days so that your head is higher. In case of mild pain, a paracetamol can be taken. You are allowed to rinse your eyes with a gentle jet of water one day after the procedure. Afterwards, pat it dry without rubbing.
For the first week, avoid heavy physical exercise, lifting, bending, pressing and coughing. You should not cut the ends of the stitches yourself. This will be done after 7 to 9 days at our clinic. It is out of the question to smoke while the sutures are still in place. Otherwise, your blood vessels will constrict and you run an increased risk of impaired wound healing. You may use make-up again after the stitches have been removed and all scabs are gone. Do not expose the scars to sunlight or tanning bed radiation for the first three months. You will see our doctor for a check-up up to 6 weeks after the treatment.

Risks

Risks
Eyelid surgery in Delft is not associated with any major risks or complications. This short-term and relatively simple intervention produces only some swelling, redness and bruising around the eyes. These symptoms disappear after a few days. In occasional cases, a post-operative haemorrhage, eye inflammation, numbness of the eyelid margin, uneven eyelids, cysts or scarring may occur. If in doubt, contact the specialists at Skin + Surgery. Our doctors are readily available.
What causes heavy eyelids?
As we age, the skin loses its elasticity. For many, this results in drooping eyelids, also known as heavy eyelids. When the skin of the upper eyelids ages, excess skin develops that hangs over the eyes and can adversely affect the appearance. The result is often that you look tired, old or sometimes angry.
Check out the before and after photos of our eyelid corrections and see the difference. Not only cosmetically can drooping eyelids have a detrimental effect, a eyelid correction in the Gouda area can also be a good solution for medical reasons. This is because many people with heavy eyelids suffer from headaches and vision impairment.

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.

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.

How does eyelid surgery work?
Performing an eyelid correction demands skilled expertise. Various types of eyelid surgery exist, each yielding different outcomes. To assess your suitability for the procedure and identify the most suitable technique for your desired outcome, a preliminary examination is essential. During this assessment, ample opportunity is provided to address any queries or concerns you may have. Additionally, photographs are taken for inclusion in your medical records. Through this preliminary examination, we aim to ensure that you maintain realistic expectations regarding the anticipated results.
Before and after photos eyelid surgery
An eyelid surgery changes your whole face. This is well shown in the before and after photos by Skin + Surgery. After eyelid correction, your eyes will be open, fresh and youthful again. The removal of excess skin, muscle and fatty tissue brings out the shape of your eyes. Scars are minimal to not visible and fall nicely into the skin fold.
For the first few weeks after eyelid surgery, the treated area is a little swollen and red. This is normal. This is because the area around the eyes needs time to recover. After a few weeks, the skin has recovered more and the first results can already be seen. The full result can really be seen after several months.
