At Aepril Clinics in Utrecht, personalized and medically sound treatment is our priority. The doctor first evaluates your eyelids, anatomy, and preferences, and honestly discusses what results are achievable. The goal is a natural correction that preserves your unique appearance.
Eyelid surgery leaves a scar. In upper eyelid surgery, the incision is made as close as possible to the natural crease of the eyelid. The scar is often more visible at first but generally becomes less noticeable as healing progresses.
Many people allow for about one week of recovery before returning to work. This varies from person to person and also depends on the type of work you do and how quickly the swelling subsides.
In the first few days after eyelid surgery, swelling and bruising may occur. These symptoms will gradually subside. After about one to two weeks, the area often looks much better. Full recovery of the eyelids and the scar takes longer.
The duration of treatment depends on your individual situation and the extent of the correction. The doctor will explain in advance how much time has been scheduled for your treatment.
The eyelids are numbed with a local anesthetic beforehand. This ensures that the surgical area is numb during the procedure. After the procedure, the eyelids may feel temporarily sensitive, swollen, or tight.
Before the procedure, the eyelids are carefully assessed and marked. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. The doctor removes the excess skin and places the incision as close as possible to the natural crease of the eyelid.
Eyelid surgery may be appropriate if you have excess or sagging skin around your upper eyelids, a heavy-looking gaze, or a tired appearance. During your consultation in Utrecht, the doctor will assess whether eyelid surgery is right for you.
