What is an upper eyelid correction?

An upper eyelid correction, also known as blepharoplasty, is a type of cosmetic surgery aimed at correcting excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat tissue from the upper eyelids. This procedure is usually performed for cosmetic reasons, such as reducing a tired appearance or an aged look, but it can also have medical necessity, for example, when drooping eyelids obstruct vision.

Over the years, the skin around the eyes loses its elasticity, which can lead to excess skin folds and fatty deposits in the upper eyelid. This can cause an aged and tired look or sometimes even an angry facial expression. An upper eyelid surgery offers an effective solution by removing this skin and fatty tissue, giving the eyelid a tighter and more youthful appearance.

Reasons for upper eyelid surgery

There are several reasons why people choose upper eyelid surgery. The most common reasons are aesthetic in nature, with clients desiring a rejuvenated eye look and a fresher facial expression. This can be a huge boost to self-confidence and overall appearance.

In addition, this type of cosmetic surgery can offer medical benefits. In some people, excess skin can be so severe that vision is partially blocked. This can lead to eyestrain, headaches and impaired vision. In such cases, an upper eyelid correction can be very valuable not only aesthetically, but also functionally.

Benefits of upper eyelid surgery:

Improved aesthetics: The most immediate result is a more youthful appearance. By removing excess skin and fat, the natural eye contour is restored, leading to a fresher appearance.
Increased self-confidence: An improved appearance can have a positive impact on how one sees themselves and how others perceive them, often leading to increased self-confidence.
Improved vision: For some clients, the skin of the upper eyelids can limit the field of vision. Correcting this skin can lead to better vision and less eye strain.
Alleviation of fatigue symptoms: People with droopy eyelids often complain of fatigue or heavy eyes at the end of the day. Removing skin can reduce this fatigue.

How does an upper eyelid surgery proceed?

Consultation with the specialist

An upper eyelid correction is always preceded by a no-obligation intake consultation. In a personal conversation 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 cosmetic surgeon will assess your eligibility for upper and/or lower eyelid correction and provide you with clear explanations about treatment, aftercare, risks, costs and the expected natural end result. Photographs will be taken before the 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.

Have you become curious or do you have personal questions for us? Then book a no-obligation intake interview. We will be happy to talk to you.

Treatment

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 45 min. You should not drive yourself after the treatment because of the swelling around the eyes and consequently reduced vision. An upper eyelid correction has long-lasting results.

Upper eyelid surgery is performed under local anesthesia during a day procedure. Should you be very nervous before the procedure, we can prescribe sedative medication in addition to the local anesthesia. It is important that you feel comfortable during the procedure. The eyelids are numbed with injections, 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 fatty tissue. If we were to leave excess fat in place, it will again cause the eyelids to sag. Also, you will continue to have “thick/puffy” eyes which becomes more prominent if you remove the skin but do not take the fat with you.

After the skin, any excess muscle and if necessary excess fat tissue 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 minor and painless treatment that takes about 45 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 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.

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 pad between your eyes and the cold pack/frozen peas. For the first few days, sleep with an extra pillow on your back 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 labor, lifting, bending or intense exercise. The sutures are removed after 7 days. Smoking is not recommended until then. After 2 to 3 weeks, the wounds are completely closed and the scabs are gone. You may apply makeup and wear contact lenses again. You will have a check-up 6-8 weeks after the upper eyelid surgery. Keep your treated eyelids out of bright sunlight and do not go under a tanning bed or to the sauna for the first 3 months.

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 goes away on its own or with a paracetamol. In occasional cases, complications occur, such as post-operative bleeding, eye inflammation, uneven eyelids, cysts or scarring. When in doubt, always contact a cosmetic surgeon at SkinSurgery Clinics.

A popular treatment

Upper eyelid surgery is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures worldwide. According to recent statistics, this form of cosmetic surgery is popular with both men and women and is often chosen by people between the ages of 30 and 70. The procedure is relatively short, has a quick recovery and produces long-lasting results, contributing to its increasing popularity. In the Netherlands, demand for this procedure has increased significantly in recent years, thanks in part to an aging population and an increasing focus on aesthetic self-care.

The increase in popularity can also be attributed to improved surgical techniques, making the results look more natural and the recovery time shorter. In addition, positive experiences from previous patients and the ability to combine upper eyelid correction with other rejuvenating treatments, such as a facelift or botox, contribute to the popularity of upper eyelid surgery.

Because of this combination of aesthetic and functional benefits, along with the relatively low risks, upper eyelid surgery is seen as a very attractive option for people looking to improve their appearance or address functional issues.

Preparation for the day of treatment

On the day of your upper eyelid surgery, it is important to be well prepared so that the surgery can go smoothly and your recovery is as comfortable as possible. Below is a comprehensive guide to what to expect and how best to prepare for surgery.

What to do and what to avoid

The night prior to upper eyelid surgery:

Night's rest: Make sure you get plenty of sleep the night before surgery. A good night's sleep helps put your body in optimal condition for the upper eyelid surgery.
Staying sober: Because the procedure is done under local anesthesia, you can eat and drink as usual. However, it is wise to have a light meal, such as toast or yogurt, on the morning of surgery to make you feel comfortable during the upper eyelid surgery.

On the day of upper eyelid surgery:

Clothing: Wear comfortable, loose clothing to the clinic, preferably a top that you do not have to take off over your head (e.g., a blouse with buttons). This will prevent unnecessary pressure or movement around your head after the upper eyelid surgery.
No make-up: Please come to the clinic without makeup. This includes facial creams, lotions and perfume. This minimizes the risk of infection and ensures that the surgeon has a clear view of the surgical area.
No jewelry: Leave jewelry, especially near your face, at home. This includes contact lenses, which you should not wear on the day of upper eyelid surgery. Instead, bring glasses if you need them.
Medication: Do not use blood-thinning medication such as aspirin or ibuprofen in the week prior to surgery unless otherwise prescribed by your doctor. On the day of surgery, take only the medication your doctor has explicitly approved.
Hygiene: Wash your face thoroughly with a mild cleanser before going to the clinic. Avoid moisturizers and other skin care products.

Practical tips:

Transport: Make sure your transportation to and from the clinic is arranged, as you may not be able to drive yourself after the upper eyelid surgery. A friend or family member can drive you home and stay with you for the first few hours after surgery.
Guidance: It is wise to bring someone with you who can support and reassure you before and after the upper eyelid surgery. This person can also help with practical matters, such as carrying your belongings.
Food and drink: If you may eat light breakfast the morning of the upper eyelid surgery (with local anesthesia), choose something light such as toast or yogurt. Avoid heavy meals and caffeinated beverages.

As we grow older, our skin experiences several transformations. Drooping eyelids are a result of skin aging, but can also have genetic origins. In cases of familial inheritance, symptoms like heavy eyelids, dry eyes, or headaches (from constant eyebrow lifting) may be more prevalent. Opting for an upper eyelid correction is an excellent solution to alleviate these issues and regain a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.

Aftercare 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 the operation. We advise you not to drive on the day of surgery and as long as your vision is impaired. You may not use contact lenses for 2 weeks. You can use make-up again after removing the stitches, when all 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 the operation.

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.

For whom is lower eyelid correction suitable?

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.

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.

Are there alternatives to Asian eyelid surgery?

A double eyelid surgery is really your only option to add a permanent crease to a single eyelid. For those not ready for surgery, special tape or glue create a temporary eyelid crease. If you just want to remove excess skin for a more open look (without adding a crease), traditional eyelid surgery, a single eyelid, is a better choice.

What are disadvantages of Asian eyelid surgery?

Het is belangrijk te realiseren dat de ingreep uitgebreider is dan een gewone ooglidcorrectie. U zult meer blauwe plekken en zwellingen hebben. Dit kan 1-2 weken duren. Door de ingreep lijken uw ogen groter, echter uw ogen zelf worden niet werkelijk groter. Onze chirurg zal tijdens het consult laten zien met de spiegel hoe u eruit zou zien met deze ooglid procedures. Omdat de vouw aan beide ogen opnieuw wordt gecreëerd, bestaat er een groter kans op asymmetrie van de ogen dan de traditionele ingreep.

What are benefits of Asian eyelid surgery?

Littekens zijn gemakkelijk te verhullen in uw nieuwe lid plooien. Samen met het creëren van een bovenste ooglid vouw, kan de procedure de verzakte oogleden liften. Door de operatie is er een groter “platform” voor oogschaduw en maakt eyeliner applicatie gemakkelijker. En omdat de overtollige huid vaak over de wimpers hangen en lijken de wimpers korter. De operatie kan de wimpers langer laten lijken.

How much does Asian eyelid surgery cost?

Double eyelid surgery costs €1800 at Skin+Surgery Clinics. This procedure is different from standard eyelid surgery and requires detailed knowledge of Asian eyelid anatomy, so it is especially important to see an experienced surgeon.

Post-treatment and check-up after Asian eyelid surgery

There are always at least two check-up moments after an eyelid correction at SkinSurgery. We will see you after a week (about 7-9 days) to remove the stitches and see how you are doing. The doctor will then assess your recovery, wound healing, blueness and swelling. This is also when the doctor will let you know whether you can already start using the scar cream. You will return again after 5-6 weeks for a final check-up. The doctor will then have another good idea of how your recovery is progressing and can already assess the final result. Together, we compare the before-and-after photos so that you can clearly see the difference of the procedure. If you need an extra check-up in the meantime or afterwards, you can of course schedule one with us.

Are there any risks associated with this procedure?

As with any surgical procedure, there are possible complications with double eyelid or Asian eyelid surgery. These include infection, bleeding and reaction to anaesthesia. The rare risks of Asian eyelid surgery include difficulty closing the eyes and dry eyes. In some cases, slight asymmetry of the eyes occurs. This can be distressing during the healing process, but often evens out over time. If really necessary, a skilled plastic surgeon can correct asymmetry, folds that are too high or too low, and folds that are too deep or shallow.

How soon do you see results after Asian eyelid surgery?

U zult na twee tot drie weken de resultaten van een Aziatische ooglidcorrectie zien, met name wanneer de zwelling begint af te nemen. Toch vinden er gedurende enkele maanden nog steeds subtiele veranderingen plaats. Houd er rekening mee dat door zwelling de oogplooi hoger lijkt dan waar deze uiteindelijk definitief komt te vallen. Het kan daardoor aanvankelijk lijken of er verschillen tussen beide ogen zijn, maar dit corrigeert naarmate de zwelling afneemt. De vouw gaat zich uiteindelijk in de juiste positie nestelen. Er is een klein, meestal nauwelijks zichtbaar litteken in het ooglid vouw, langs de incisie lijn, die blijft verbeteren voor 12-18 maanden na de operatie. De resultaten kunnen tientallen jaren duren, maar ze kunnen na verloop van tijd afnemen, omdat het verouderingsproces bijdraagt aan het verlies van de lid contour.

What else can you do to combat swelling after eyelid surgery?

Om de zwelling na een ooglidcorrectie tot een minimum te beperken is het belangrijk om goed te koelen. Daarnaast kun u lymfdrainage overwegen om te helpen het wondvocht af te voeren dat na een ooglidcorrectie tijdens het genezingsproces ontstaat. Als u ter voorbereiding op uw ooglidcorrectie het lymfsysteem maximaal activeert en de lymfspons volledig leeg maakt kan dit systeem het onderhuidse vocht opnemen en afvoeren waardoor er veel minder zwellingen kunnen ontstaan.

How long does recovery take after eyelid surgery

Door onze jarenlange ervaring in het uitvoeren van ooglidcorrecties, werken we met een speciaal voor – en nazorg protocol. Zo ben je optimaal voorbereid en herstel je zonder complicaties. Meestal is pijnstilling met paracetamol voldoende na de operatie. Wij adviseren u om geen auto te rijden op de dag van de ingreep en zolang uw zicht belemmerd is. Na een week komt u langs op controle voor de hechtingen verwijderen. Contactlenzen en make-up mag u gedurende 2 weken niet gebruiken. Wij raden u aan om niet te roken tot 2 weken na de ingreep. Roken verhoogt de kans op complicaties. We adviseren u de littekens gedurende 3 maanden na de operatie niet bloot te stellen aan UV- zonlicht en/of de zonnebank.

How does medical eye lift treatment work?

Performing an eyelid correction 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 make sure you get a realistic expectation of the intended results.

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-treatment and check-up after lower eyelid surgery

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.

Our advice after lower eyelid surgery

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.

How is wound care after surgery?

Wij adviseren je om de dag van de operatie elk uur 15 minuten te koelen door middel van een coolpack of een zakje met doperwtjes uit de vriezer. Plaats gedurende het koelen een gaasje tussen de ogen en het koelelement. Na de operatie kan je last hebben van blauwe plekken en zwelling van de onderoogleden, waardoor het kan voorkomen dat je je ogen na de operatie niet geheel kunt sluiten. Dit herstelt zodra de zwelling is weggetrokken. De uiteinden van de hechtingen mag je niet zelf afknippen. De dag na de operatie mag je weer douchen. Probeer de wond na het douchen droog te deppen en niet te vegen.
