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.

Aftercare after eyelid surgery
Due to our many years of experience in performing eyelid corrections, we work with a special pre- and aftercare protocol. This way, you are optimally prepared and recover without complications.
You may experience some pain after the local anesthesia wears off. Usually, pain relief with paracetamol is sufficient for this. Furthermore, you may not drive a car on the day of surgery.
Furthermore, we recommend not driving a car while your vision is obstructed.
- Do not use contact lenses for 2 weeks.
- You can use make-up again after removing the stitches, when all the scabs have disappeared.
- We advise you not to smoke until the sutures are removed. Smoking increases the risk of complications.
- We advise you not to expose the scars to UV sunlight and/or the sunbed for 3 months after surgery.
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 transparent and fair in its prices. We find quality important, and therefore only work with experienced cosmetic doctors. Because everyone is unique, what can be corrected to the eyelids can vary from person to person. Sometimes it is only necessary to remove the skin, fat pockets- or muscle tissue. In our clinic, we consider two things important in this: long-term and natural results.
In some cases, the cost of an upper eyelid correction is covered by health insurance in the Netherlands, but this depends on the medical necessity of the procedure. In general, an upper eyelid correction is reimbursed only if there is a functional problem, such as a severely limited field of vision due to drooping eyelids (ptosis). In such cases, the procedure may be considered medically necessary. Whether the cost of an upper eyelid correction will be reimbursed also depends on your insurance. Research whether you have supplemental insurance to be sure of reimbursement.
Upper eyelid surgery bilateral - skin resection
If there is only excess skin, eyelid surgery with skin resection will suffice. The underlying muscle tissue or fat pockets will not be corrected in this case.
Upper eyelid surgery both sides - skin resection and adjusting muscle
Often, in addition to excess skin, there is also sagging of the orbicularis oculi: the muscle used to close and open the eyelids. By removing a small strip, the result becomes more natural than if we were to remove only skin while there are fat pockets and sagging muscle.
Upper eyelid surgery both sides - skin resection, muscle and fat pockets removed
With somewhat thick eyelids, or puffy eyes, it is often necessary to remove some fat in addition to skin and muscle. This fat “pushes” against the septum, muscle and skin, so to speak, and therefore partially causes the droopy eyelids. Therefore, in order to guarantee long-term results, it is necessary to remove the fat as well in this indication.
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.
How long does recovery take after eyelid surgery
Due to our years of experience in performing eyelid corrections, we work with a special pre- and aftercare protocol. This way, you are optimally prepared and recover without complications.
Usually, pain relief with paracetamol is sufficient after surgery. We advise you not to drive a car on the day of surgery and as long as your vision is impaired. After a week, you will visit us for a check-up to remove the stitches.
You should not use contact lenses or make-up for 2 weeks. We advise you not to smoke for 2 weeks after the procedure. Smoking increases the risk of complications. We advise you not to expose the scars to UV sunlight and/or the sunbed for 3 months after surgery.
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.
What is the difference in price of upper eyelid surgery
SkinSurgery Clinics is transparent and fair in its prices. We find quality important, and therefore only work with experienced cosmetic doctors.

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.
What can you expect from the before and after of an eyelid correction?
Lower eyelid correction before and after – You know it, the moment you look at someone and get lost in their beautiful eyes. Your eyes have a huge influence on your attractiveness. Psychologist Daniel Gill, who led the new study at the University of Winchester in Hampshire, investigated what people find most attractive about each other and it turns out, men and women find eyes the most important thing! But what does this have to do with your before and after of your lower eyelid correction?
Your eyes are surrounded by skin, eyelids and muscles. When it comes to eyes, it's not just about the eyeballs, but the whole picture around them. This means that your attractiveness is affected when your eyes are not visible due to drooping eyelids, deep bags under the eyes or dark circles. This takes the focus away from the overall beauty of your eyes and focuses more on areas that you may perceive as less beautiful. A lower eyelid correction can help get rid of bags under the eyes and sagging thin skin. An upper eyelid correction helps against drooping eyelids.
A different eyelid correction may be required per person and the before and after of an eyelid correction therefore differs per individual. Whether you need an upper eyelid correction, a lower eyelid correction, or a double eyelid correction (also called Asian eyelid surgery genoemd).

Lower eyelid correction before and after; Below is a description of the process of a lower eyelid correction
Do you suffer from bags under the eyes or dark circles or do you have a tired or sad look? Then a lower eyelid correction may be the solution for you. During an initial consultation with one of our specialists, we can determine whether you are eligible for a lower eyelid correction as every face is unique. This is a no-obligation consultation and takes place in a relaxed setting, where you should feel comfortable and safe to ask any questions you wish to ask. During this first consultation, photos will be taken for your medical file and the expected result will be discussed. We will discuss these photos with you. If the expectations on both sides agree, you will be provided with honest advice, after which you can plan a lower eyelid correction. A lower eyelid correction gives a fresh, more open look, as we strive for a natural result.
A lower eyelid surgery is a minor surgical procedure that is performed under sedation (local anesthesia in combination with sedation), for which you must be fasting and not eat or drink for 6 hours in advance. The operation is performed as a day procedure. With a lower eyelid correction, a minimal incision is made just below the eyelash line or on the inside of the lower eyelid, after which the bags are removed.
At a lower eyelid surgery excess skin, fat and muscle tissue is removed or repositioned, depending on the specific needs. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia in combination with a buzz and lasts about 60 to 90 minutes. The scar on the lower eyelids under the eyelashes is hardly visible.
You can go home after the procedure and after a short rest period. You are not allowed to drive yourself due to the swelling/fluid around the eyes and the resulting reduced vision. The treatment has a long-lasting result. Depending on the shape of your eyes, you will be very happy with the eyelid correction 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, so that recovery proceeds smoothly with a minimal risk of complications such as bleeding, infection or insensitivity of the eyelid margin.
You may shower one day (24 hours) after the operation and rinse your eyes with a gentle stream. Gently pat the treatment area and the rest of your face dry with a towel, without rubbing. Immediately after your lower eyelid correction, start cooling the eyelids to prevent swelling, redness and bruising. Apply cooling to the wound for at least 24 minutes every hour using a cold pack and/or frozen peas, placing a gauze pad between your eyes and the cold pack/frozen peas. Sleep with an extra pillow for the first few days so that your head is higher. If your eyes remain swollen, cooling is always permitted. The swelling will then decrease more quickly. For mild pain complaints, paracetamol is sufficient.
Do not perform any vigorous physical exertion in the first two weeks, such as heavy physical labor, lifting, bending or intensive sports. The first follow-up check takes place after 9 to 10 days. The plasters will be removed and the stitches will be removed. You are strongly advised not to smoke until then. After 2 to 3 weeks, the wounds are completely closed and the scabs have disappeared. The first result now becomes visible. You can apply make-up and wear lenses again. After all the scabs have disappeared, you will have to start applying sunscreen during the day, especially for the eyes with a factor of at least 30. This is to prevent the scar from pigmenting. You will have a final check-up 6 – 8 weeks after the lower eyelid correction. Keep your treated eyelids out of direct sunlight for the first 3 months and do not use a sunbed or go to the sauna.
