What is an eyelid correction?
An eyelid correction, also known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure in which excess skin and fat are removed or redistributed in the eyelids. The treatment can be performed on the upper eyelids, the lower eyelids, or a combination of both.
During an upper eyelid correction, excess skin that creates a heavy or tired look is removed. With a lower eyelid correction, bags under the eyes can be reduced and volume restored to create a fresher appearance.
Refining the skin around the eyes creates a more rested, open, and youthful appearance while preserving natural expression.
Why choose eyelid correction?
Fresher appearance
Drooping eyelids and bags under the eyes can give a tired appearance. Eyelid correction creates a more open and rested look.
Natural result
The treatment refines the eye contour without altering the natural facial expression.
Improved vision
In some patients, excess skin on the upper eyelids can restrict the field of vision. A correction can improve this.
Personal approach
Each treatment is tailored to your anatomy, skin quality, and expectations for a natural result.
The treatment process
Consultation
During a personal consultation, we analyze the eyelids, skin quality, and facial structure, and discuss your expectations.
Analysis
We carefully assess whether a correction of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or a combination of both is most suitable.
The intervention
The treatment is usually performed under local anesthesia. Excess skin and any fatty tissue are removed or redistributed.
Recovery
After the treatment, we guide you step by step through the recovery process with professional follow-up.
Result
After the healing process, a fresher, more open, and youthful appearance emerges around the eyes.
Which eyelid correction is right for you?
Not every eyelid correction is the same. During a consultation, we determine which treatment best suits your anatomy and wishes.
Upper eyelid correction
Removes excess skin and oil from the upper eyelids for a more open look.
Lower eyelid correction
Reduces puffiness, refines the skin, and restores the contour of the lower eyelid.
Transconjunctival technique
A technique in which the incision is made on the inside of the eyelid so that no visible scar is created.
Fat transfer
Can be applied to naturally correct a hollowed-out appearance under the eyes.
A natural result is paramount.
At o2 Clinic, we strive for subtle rejuvenation while respecting your natural facial expression. The goal of eyelid correction is not to change your face, but to soften a tired appearance and make the eyes look fresh and open again.
By carefully correcting excess skin and oil, a harmonious result is created that perfectly complements the rest of the face.
Eyelid correction is one of the most refined treatments in facial surgery and can make a striking difference with relatively minor procedures.
Recovery & Aftercare
During your recovery, we guide you step by step with personal follow-up and professional aftercare.
After eyelid surgery, swelling and bruising may occur around the eyes. These are normal and usually gradually subside within one to two weeks.
Most patients resume their daily activities after about seven to ten days. The stitches are usually removed after about six days.
Although the first results are quickly visible, it takes several months before the final result is fully stable.
Thanks to good follow-up and careful aftercare, we strive for a comfortable recovery and a beautiful, natural end result.
