An upper eyelid surgery to correct eyestrain, decreased vision, head and neck pain symptoms due to drooping upper eyelids or heavy eyelids. With an upper eyelid surgery, we elevate the skin at the top of the eyes to correct your symptoms and restore a fresh, open appearance. As we age, our skin loses elasticity, causing it to sag and may droop. This causes you to experience symptoms, but you may also have problems with applying makeup, for example. The experienced plastic surgeons at Blooming Clinic perform many upper eyelid corrections, making them highly skilled at performing the procedure. They ensure that the scar falls precisely into the eye crease, making it barely visible later.

If you are considering an upper eyelid surgery, please make an appointment for a consultation with one of our plastic surgeons. During this initial consultation, you will discuss your symptoms, expectations and wishes. Following an examination, the plastic surgeon will determine whether you are a suitable candidate for an upper eyelid correction and which treatment method will provide the best results for you. At Blooming Clinic, you can always count on clear education and honest advice, including about treatment, possible risks and complications, and the recovery period.
Your plastic surgeon will also ask you about your health, your medical history and your medication use. If you have any questions, it is possible to ask them during the consultation as well. If you decide to proceed with treatment, all the information will be compiled into a treatment plan. That way you know exactly what to expect.
At Blooming Plastic Surgery only procedures are performed without medical indication. This means that costs for treatment are for your own account. If you can claim reimbursement from your health insurance company we advise you to make an appointment at the plastic surgery clinic of the hospital.
A 100 euro consultation fee is charged for a consultation. These will be deducted from the final price of the treatment.
Before your treatment, the plastic surgeon will carefully mark the skin to be removed and you will be sedated. Upper eyelid surgery is almost always performed under local anesthesia by a plastic surgeon. As a result, you won’t feel anything from the procedure. After the skin has been disinfected, your plastic surgeon cuts away the excess skin. If necessary, he will also remove excess subcutaneous fatty tissue. Because the plastic surgeon makes the incision in the natural crease of the upper eyelid, you will not notice the minimal scar that remains after surgery. After the procedure, the incision is subcutaneously sutured and secured with suture patches. You may return home after treatment.
Although you may go home immediately after the procedure, you will not yet be able to drive yourself. Make sure someone is present who can drive you home after the procedure. After the treatment your eyes may be swollen, red and/or blue. To reduce the swelling, we recommend using an extra pillow, at least the first night, so that your head is a little higher. The swelling and bruising generally subside within a week. Keep plenty of rest to promote your recovery.
In general, the pain after upper eyelid surgery is not too bad, but painkillers and cooling with a cold pack can help for the first few hours after the procedure. To promote your recovery, it is also important that you get plenty of rest. We recommend that you avoid strenuous activity for the first three to six weeks. You should also avoid wearing contact lenses for the first two weeks.
You will visit the clinic one week after the operation. We will remove the stitches and the plastic surgeon will monitor your recovery. You will be informed about the further procedure. During the first six months the scar will still be red, but it will gradually fade. We advise you to protect the scar from the sun to avoid discoloration. After the removal of the stitches, a good result can already be seen, but it will take six months before you are fully recovered.
As with the majority of surgical procedures, there are some risks associated with upper eyelid surgery. Although these risks are very exceptional, we are happy to inform you of them.
Rare
Very rare
Although the plastic surgeons at Clinic Blooming are highly experienced and work with precision, there is always a very minimal chance that an exact symmetrical result will not be achieved.
Scars
Because the scars fall into the natural crease of the upper eyelid, you can hardly see the scars after complete recovery. The scars are still red in color during the first period, but this color becomes lighter and lighter. Avoid UV radiation during recovery.
Smoking
Smoking increases the risk of infection. Therefore, we strongly recommend quitting at least six weeks before the procedure. It is important that you keep this up for at least six weeks after the procedure.
