How does an upper eyelid surgery proceed?

1.

Consultation with the specialist

1.

Consultation with the specialist

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

Treatment

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 1 hour. You should not drive yourself after the treatment because of the swelling around the eyes and the resulting reduced vision. An upper eyelid correction has long-term results.

An upper eyelid correction is performed under local anaesthesia during a day surgery. If you are very nervous before the procedure, we can prescribe sedative medication. It is important that you feel comfortable during the procedure. The eyelids are numbed with a prick, 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 fat. If we leave excess fat in place, it will again cause the eyelids to sag. Also, you will continue to have "fat/puffy" eyes which becomes more prominent if you remove the excess skin but not remove the fat.

After the excess skin, any excess muscle and, if necessary, excess fat 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

3.

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 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 7 to 9 days. Smoking is not recommended until then. After 2 to 3 weeks, the wounds are completely closed and the scabs disappear. You may again apply make-up and wear contact lenses. You will have a check-up 6-8 weeks after the upper 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.

Risks

4.

Risks

Eyelid surgery is a small minor 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 passes on its own or with a paracetamol. Occasionally, complications occur, such as post-operative bleeding, eye inflammation, uneven eyelids, cysts or scarring. When in doubt, always contact the specialists at SkinSurgery Clinics.

Marcel - Eyelid surgery

Excellent service

Very friendly, professional and knowledgeable surgeon, medical assistant and other staff. The clinic is up and running. I had an eyelid surgery yesterday and it was very pleasant and professional, with the surgeon (Drs Gillissen) and assistant informing me about every little step during the procedure and constantly asking me if I felt OK. The aftercare is also very well prepared and the app is very useful. I give it a 10!

Marianne - Eyelid surgery

Very pleasant experience

The intake was very pleasant, time was taken and clear explanations given. The correction was done in a pleasant atmosphere and I am very happy with the result. Aftercare is also done carefully and with attention. I benefited a lot from the app. All my questions were answered there and I was given good instructions.

Addie - Eyelid surgery

Excellent

I am incredibly satisfied with my experience at SkinSurgery Clinics. From the moment I walked in, I was received very warmly with a cup of tea and immediately felt at ease. I was then escorted upstairs by a very sweet assistant, where I was helped with so much care and attention. The eyelid surgery was done really beautifully; my eyelids look great even now, on day three. I am super happy with the result and can highly recommend this clinic!

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 will be optimally prepared and recover without complications. You may experience some pain after the local anaesthetic wears off. Usually, pain relief with paracetamol is sufficient. Furthermore, you should not drive a car on the day of surgery. We also advise you not to drive while your vision is impaired. You may not use contact lenses for 2 weeks. You can use make-up again after the removal of 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.

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 consider 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 restricted 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. Check whether you have supplementary insurance to be sure of reimbursement. Upper eyelid correction both sides - skin resection If there is only excess skin, an eyelid correction with skin resection will suffice. The underlying muscle tissue or fat pockets are not corrected in this case. Upper eyelid correction both sides - skin resection and muscle adjustment 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 removal With somewhat thick eyelids, or puffy eyes, it is often necessary to remove some fat in addition to skin and muscle. This fat 'pushes' as it were against the septum, muscle and skin, partially causing the droopy eyelids. To ensure long-term results, it is therefore necessary to also remove the fat 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.

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

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. Usually, pain relief with paracetamol is sufficient after the operation. 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 tanning beds for 3 months after the operation.

What is the difference in price of upper eyelid surgery?

Wat is het verschil in prijs van een bovenooglidcorrectie? Skin + Surgery 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 overtollige huid te verwijderen, soms is ook sprake van overtollig vet- of spierweefsel. In onze kliniek vinden we twee zaken hierin belangrijk: langdurig en natuurlijk resultaat. 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 overtollige en verslapte spier. Bovenooglidcorrectie beiderzijds – huidresectie, spier en vetpockets verwijderen Bij wat dikke oogleden, of puffy eyes, is het vaak noodzakelijk om naast overtollige 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.

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-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.

Sometimes it is only necessary to remove the skin, sometimes excess fat or muscle tissue is also involved. In our clinic, we consider two things important in this: long-term and natural results. Upper eyelid surgery on both sides - skin resection If there is only excess skin, an eyelid correction with skin resection will suffice. The underlying muscle tissue or fat pockets are not corrected in this case. Upper eyelid correction both sides - skin resection and muscle adjustment Often, in addition to excess skin, there is also sagging of the orbicularis oculi: the muscle used to close and open the eyelids.

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.
