Eyelid Correction (Blepharoplasty)

Eyelids are very sensitive to gravity and eyelids with excess or loose tissue often make you look older and more tired. They can even restrict your vision. Eyelid correction procedure allows to remove the excess skin and fatty tissue of the upper or (and)lower eyelid. An eyelid correction or blepharoplasty is a relatively simple procedure of rejuvenation, revitalising your appearance

Upper Eyelid Correction

The incision is made in the fold of the eyelid, so the scar will not be visible. A strip of skin is cut out. Possible fatty tissue at the interior corner of the eye, next to the nose, will also be removed.

Sometimes the cause of your aging appearance is not the upper eyelid but sagging brows. So when dealing with sagging brows, you should consider an eyebrow lift.

Lower Eyelid Correction

An incision is made along the lash line and smile creases. Excess fat, muscle and skin are removed. Fine interrupted sutures are used to close the incision.

The first few days you regularly need to put cold compresses on and around the eyes, but do avoid immediate contact between eyes and ice. These compresses will help the swelling to wear off more quickly.

The fine stitches will be removed about four to seven days after the eyelid correction. The skin of the eyelid is very thin and heals very quickly. After a few months the scar of the eye lifting will barely be noticeable. The scar of the upper eyelid lies in a natural fold and the scar of the lower eyelid lies just below the eyelashes.

Most people go back to work one week after the eye lifting. Heavy exertions should be avoided during two to three weeks after the surgery.

Time of the treatment:
From 3 to 6 days
