Eyelid Correction

Our bodies change over the years, including our facial skin. Our skin loses its elasticity and sometimes fat accumulates in the upper and lower eyelids. This will cause eyes to start to droop, which makes you look older and may even limit your field of vision.

In some cases, it is congenital and something you have been dealing with from a young age. The good news is that anyone who has this problem can have eyelid surgery. Your surgeon will sit down with you to assess if this is the best option for you. In some cases, a combination of different procedures is needed to get the best result.

Before the surgery, we take pictures of your face for your file. The surgeon will mark out on your eyelid where exactly skin or fat will be removed. Next, the surgeon will inject an anaesthetic with adrenalin (to counter bleeding).

As soon as the eye is numb, the surgeon will make an incision in the creases of your eyelids to remove loose skin, muscles, and fat.

If necessary, the surgeon will slightly shorten the orbicularis oculi or outer eye muscles and attach them to the bone tissue in the outer corner of the eye. This technique lifts up the outer corner of the eye somewhat.

Finally, the surgeon will suture the wound using an extremely fine surgical thread and apply bandage to the zone that was operated on. In some cases, the surgeon will use Tissucol, a surgical adhesive used to glue the skin together. An icepack is subsequently used to cool the area and soothe the pain after the procedure.

You can go home immediately after your eyelid surgery. However, you cannot drive yourself and you cannot be alone for the first 24 hours either, so it is important that you bring someone. If this is not possible in your case, you can book an overnight stay in a private room at the clinic.

Recovery after eyelid surgery: recovery will be optimal when all guidelines for aftercare are followed to the letter. You will be given a sheet with instructions to take home. The final result of the eyelid surgery will show roughly 2 months after the surgery. The scar will fade after about three months.
