That\u2019s not surprising, considering he has been living under high pressure for years. Whether he gets enough (night) rest is something we don\u2019t know. <em>However, we do know that stress and lack of sleep accelerate the skin\u2019s aging process.<\/em> Due to increased production of the hormone cortisol, less collagen and elastin are produced both essential for keeping the skin firm and supple. This leads to sagging, which is particularly noticeable in the delicate skin around the eyes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Drooping eyelids are not only caused by the aging process of the skin but also by the weakening of the muscle and fat tissue, which adds extra pressure. As you age, not only does the skin lose firmness, but the eye muscle also weakens, allowing fat tissue to push forward. As a result, the eye muscles have to work harder throughout the day to keep the eyes open. This can be very tiring and may cause discomfort during the day. The reduced skin firmness also makes wrinkles and fine lines more visible.<\/p>\n                                                                            <\/div>\n                                                                                                                                <div class=\"detail-block content-block\">\n                                                                                    <h2>Positive effects after upper eyelid surgery<\/h2>\n<p>\u2022 A rested and open look creates a more youthful impression.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Less pressure on the eyes means fewer fatigue-related issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The procedure often takes less than an hour and is performed under local anesthesia.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Depending on the shape of the eyes, lifestyle, and genetics, you can enjoy the benefits of eyelid correction for at least 8 to 10 years.<\/p>\n                                                                            <\/div>\n                                                                                                                                <div class=\"detail-block content-block\">\n                                                                                    <h2>Our opinions of upper eyelid surgery<\/h2>\n<p>\u2022 In most people, the majority of the redness, swelling, and bruising disappears within one to two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Initially, small scars may be visible in the skin fold, but they usually fade well over time.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Regular cooling and avoiding strenuous activity help promote faster recovery.<\/p>\n                                                                            <\/div>\n                                                                                                                                <div class=\"detail-block image-block\">\n                                                                                    <div class=\"image-wrapper\">\n                                                <img decoding=\"async\"\n                                                    src=\"https:\/\/skin-surgery.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Bovenooglidcorrectie-SkinSurgery-blog-Geert-Wilders.jpg\"\n                                                    alt=\"\">\n                                            <\/div>\n                                                                            <\/div>\n                                                                                                                                <div class=\"detail-block content-block\">\n                                                                                    <h2>The Right Time to Schedule Eyelid Surgery<\/h2>\n<p>For politicians like <strong>Geert Wilders<\/strong> scheduling an <a href=\"https:\/\/skin-surgery.nl\/en\/eyelid-surgery\/upper-eyelid-surgery\/\">eyelid surgery<\/a> a strategic choice.
