Eyelid correction

Feeling good, but your face says otherwise? Droopy upper eyelids can make you look less energetic and open than you feel. Sometimes, they can even cause discomfort or affect your vision. With an upper eyelid correction at Huid & Laser Kliniek Delft, you're choosing an effective and safe procedure, performed by an experienced cosmetic doctor (KNMG certified). Schedule a free consultation and let’s find out together what you need to feel like yourself again—fresh, open, and full of energy.

Rested, with a friendly appearance. That’s what we all hope to see when we look in the mirror. But as we age, that fresh look can start to fade. The sagging of the upper eyelids can make you appear tired or even a bit gloomy. In some cases, it can even obstruct your vision or cause other complaints. Fortunately, a cosmetic doctor in Delft can help.

Why do your eyelids start to droop? This is usually caused by excess skin or fat buildup. The upper eyelid correction at Huid & Laser Kliniek Delft is an effective procedure that we perform for many clients. During a consultation, we’ll discuss your specific questions about eyelid correction.

An upper eyelid correction, also known as blepharoplasty, can be performed for both cosmetic and functional reasons. The best part? The procedure in Delft is done under local anesthesia, significantly reduces symptoms, and effectively eliminates drooping eyelids.

Step-by-step plan eyelid correction

You're looking for a reliable clinic in Delft for your eyelid correction—a place where the professionals truly know their field. A clinic where cosmetic doctor Dorien holds a protected KNMG title for trained cosmetic physicians and has been trained as a vascular surgeon in Germany. She has 15 years of surgical experience and extensive expertise in eyelid corrections.

You’ll find that place at Huid & Laser Kliniek Delft, and here’s what an upper eyelid correction looks like with us, in seven steps:

Step 1.

Welcome! During the initial consultation, we’ll discuss your wishes, and the KNMG-certified cosmetic doctor will assess whether an eyelid correction is truly suitable for your situation. We’ll then go over the procedure and what to expect after the treatment;

Step 2.

On the day of the procedure, you’ll be welcomed at the reception about 15 minutes before your appointment. A front office staff member will give you a consent form, which you can take your time to fill out;

Step 3.

Before heading to the treatment room, we’ll first take photos of your eyelids as they are before the procedure. The doctor will then mark the area to be treated;

Step 4.

Ready to head into the treatment room? The doctor will apply local anesthesia so you won’t feel any pain during the procedure;

Step 5.

A small incision is made in the natural crease of the upper eyelid. Excess skin and fat are removed, and the wound is carefully stitched and covered with small plasters. The procedure takes about 30 to 60 minutes;

Step 6.

After about one week, the stitches can be removed. You’ll be able to return to work;

Step 7.

After about one week, the stitches can be removed. You’ll be able to return to work;

Your eyes will continue to improve each week. After three months, we’d love to see you again for a follow-up consultation with the cosmetic doctor in Delft. At that time, we’ll evaluate and discuss the results of your eyelid correction.

Recovery and aftercare

After your eyelid correction in Delft, your eyelids may be slightly swollen and bruised. Fortunately, this usually subsides within 5 to 10 days. To support the healing process, it's important to continue cooling the area during the first few days. After 4–5 days, you can return to working on your laptop. Physical exercise and other activities that increase pressure can be resumed after 2 weeks. Please remember that you are not allowed to drive yourself home after the procedure.

As with any surgical procedure, an upper eyelid correction carries possible complications and risks. These are rare, but we will explain everything in detail during your initial consultation.

One week after the treatment, you’ll return to the clinic in Delft so we can remove the stitches. After that, you can resume almost all of your daily activities. For most people, the final beautiful result becomes visible within a few weeks.

Entire eye area

An eyelid correction is not always the most suitable solution for everyone. Sometimes, other factors contribute to a tired or aged appearance around the eyes. In such cases, other treatments may be more effective—or serve as a great complement. There are several options available to rejuvenate and refresh the entire eye area, tailored to your specific skin needs. These include:

During a consultation, we take the time to carefully discuss your skin condition and your wishes. Based on that, we create a personalized treatment plan tailored to what your skin needs.

Frequently asked questions

Is the procedure painful?

Not really, it’s quite manageable. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain during the treatment. After the procedure, you may experience some discomfort and swelling, but this can be easily managed with pain relief and cooling.

How long does the result last?

For many years! Of course, it varies from person to person, but on average, you can enjoy the results of an eyelid correction for about 10 years. However, natural skin aging, your skincare routine, and lifestyle choices can influence the long-term effect. For personalized, no-obligation advice, you’re welcome to speak with our skin therapists.

Are there any risks associated with the procedure?

As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks, such as swelling, bruising, or infection. Fortunately, complications are rare, and of course, we ensure the procedure is carried out safely and professionally.

When can I return to work after an eyelid correction?

Usually after about five days. Most people are ready to go back to work roughly a week after the procedure. This is mainly because bruising and swelling around the eyes are common in the first few days. Light household tasks are fine during that first week. However, if you do physically demanding work, it's best to wait around three weeks before gradually resuming those activities.

When can I start using scar cream?

You can begin applying scar cream about a week after the stitches have been removed, as long as the wounds are fully closed. Once a day is enough. Be gentle with the area—avoid rubbing the skin too hard for about six weeks, as the wounds are still delicate during this time.

Is an eyelid correction covered by health insurers?

Insurance only covers the procedure if there is a congenital defect, a chronic condition present from birth, or a serious visual impairment.

Am I allowed to drive myself home after the procedure?

No, it’s important that you go home with someone accompanying you after the treatment. You are not allowed to drive yourself. Besides, you wouldn’t be insured in case of an accident on the way home. Plus, it’s usually much nicer to have someone with you to get home safely and comfortably.

Are there visible scars after an eyelid correction?

A scar will form, but it is hardly noticeable. This is because the incision is made in the natural crease of your eyelid.

When can I wear makeup again?

The wounds are still very delicate during the first two weeks, so we advise against removing makeup by rubbing during this time. After two weeks, you can start wearing makeup on your upper eyelids and eyelashes again. We recommend using mineral makeup, preferably from Jane Iredale.
