Every year thousands of people choose for eyelid correction. Top and bottom eyelids that have begun to droop have an aging
effect on the face. Not only does it make you look older and tired
but quite often people interpret this as a sign of an exuberant
lifestyle. An eyelid improvement offers the solution.
It is important that the surgeon analyses the eyelid
problem in order to determine which surgical procedure is best
for you.
SURPLUS SKIN FOUND IN THE TOP AND BOTTOM EYELIDS
With a fine scalpel, the surgeon removes the extra skin above each eye in the shape of a half moon. For the bottom eyelid, the incision is made right under the bottom eyelashes.
Afterwards, the incisions are sutured in the natural crease of the eye, which will hide the scar. |

EYE BAGS
The surgeon removes the excess or moves it back to its original place by making an incision in the inside of the lower eyelid.
This is called a transconjunctival blepharoplasty. In this case, there is no visible scar left |

EYEBROW LIFT
In some cases the eyebrow is too heavy for the eye. This is, however
not an eyelid problem. The solution is an endoscopic eyebrow lift
extending to the cheekbones. The surgeon makes an incision in the
scalp and the procedure takes place under the skin, which leaves
no visible scar behind.
EYE CONTOUR
An eye contour operation is the perfect solution for eyes that
have contour wrinkles or a permanent unhappy appearance. It corrects
the outside corner of the eye and can be combined with an eyebrow
lift.
THE SEDATION
General anaesthesia is avoided while intravenous
sedation is used instead. The strength of the sedation can be
discussed between you and the sedation assistant. A simple anaesthetic
is often all that is required. The sedation method chosen depends
upon your wishes and the type of surgery.
RECOVERY
Sutures, if used, will be removed after a few days.
Bruising and swelling can last up to two to three weeks but with
the help of good make-up can be disguised. Our skin therapist
will gladly advise you. You can begin to wear make-up after removal
of the sutures.
The experience and the insight
of the plastic surgeon plays an important role in planning the
surgery and achieving the best results.
