A lower eyelid correction is always preceded by a no-obligation consultation. The first no-obligation consultation can take place once the photos you have sent have been assessed by the surgeon, meaning you are a potentially suitable candidate. Then, in a personal meeting with one of our specialists, in a relaxed setting, you can ask all your questions, discuss your wishes and express your expectations about the treatment.
Our concerned specialist will assess your eligibility for upper and/or lower eyelid correction and provide a clear explanation of the treatment, the pre- and aftercare, the risks, the costs and the expected natural end result. A second introductory meeting with your attending physician always follows. Photographs are taken before the treatment and later placed next to post-treatment photographs, also giving you an honest picture of how the final result will be.
A lower eyelid correction is a procedure you may have been thinking about for years and now finally dare to take the step. We will be happy to guide you through the process from A to Z. With a specially prepared aftercare protocol, we ensure that your recovery is successful.

Lower eyelid surgery is a surgical procedure performed under sedation (local anaesthesia combined with an intoxication), for which you must be sober and not eat or drink for 6 hours beforehand. The operation is performed as a day case.
In lower eyelid surgery, a minimal incision is made just below the lash line or on the inside of the lower eyelid, after which the puffiness is removed.
Lower eyelid surgery involves removing or repositioning excess skin, fat and muscle tissue, depending on the specific needs. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia i.c.w. an intoxication and takes about 60 to 90 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/moisture around the eyes and the resulting reduced vision. The treatment has long-term results. Depending on the shape of your eyes, you will enjoy the correction of the eyelids for at least 8 to 10 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 to ensure a smooth recovery with minimal risk of complications.
You may shower one day (24 hours) after the procedure and rinse the eyes with a gentle jet. Gently pat the treatment area dry with a towel, without rubbing. Immediately after your lower 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 9 to 10 days. You are strongly advised not to smoke until then. After 2 to 3 weeks, the wounds are completely closed and the scabs disappear. You may apply make-up and wear contact lenses again. You will have a check-up 6-8 weeks after the lower 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.
There are risks associated with any procedure. However, the risk of complications in lower eyelid surgery is small if you follow our advice.
It is normal to see redness, swelling and bruising around the eyes after treatment. You may experience mild post-treatment pain that will go away on its own or with a paracetamol.
Lower eyelid surgery requires more patience than upper eyelid surgery. The recovery requires more time and energy, for example, fluid may be present under the eyes for longer.
In occasional cases, complications occur, such as post-bleeding, eye inflammation, eyelid edge insensitivity, uneven eyelids, cysts, ectropion or scarring. When in doubt, always contact the specialists at SkinSurgery Clinics.

You have often been considering lower eyelid surgery for some time, but when you actually take the plunge is different for everyone. Regardless of the underlying desire for your lower eyelid correction, it is important to first find out whether you qualify for it. For example, if you have thin skin, it is important to get the skin in good condition first, or we may recommend another suitable treatment. The best way to do this is to request a no-obligation physical consultation with our specialists.
An upper eyelid correction and/or lower eyelid correction involves removing excess skin and fat (if under local anaesthetic combined with an intoxication). When the treatment is performed from a cosmetic point of view, this can achieve a fresher and rested look. Eyelid corrections can also be performed from a medical point of view, when the overhanging eyelids cause symptoms. In both cases, the procedure is the same.
After 9-10 days after lower eyelid surgery, the stitches and plasters are removed during the check-up appointment. 6-8 weeks after surgery, you will come for a check-up with one of our specialists.
You will experience the least swelling after surgery if you sleep with an extra pillow so that your head is higher than the rest of your body. During the first week after surgery, try to avoid bending over, heavy lifting, coughing and pushing.
We advise you to cool for 15 minutes every hour on the day of surgery using a cool pack or a bag of peas from the freezer. During cooling, place a gauze pad between the eyes and the cooling pack.
After surgery, you may experience bruising and swelling of the lower eyelids, so you may not be able to close your eyes completely after surgery. This will recover once the swelling has gone down. You should not cut the ends of the stitches yourself.
You may shower again the day after surgery. After showering, try to dab the wound dry and not wipe it.

Performing eyelid surgery requires skilled work. There are different types of eyelid surgery, all with different intended results. To determine your eligibility for the procedure and which technique best suits your desired result, a preliminary examination is needed. During the preliminary examination, there is room to ask all your questions. Photos are also taken for the medical record. With the preliminary examination, we ensure that you get a realistic expectation of the intended results.
