Is an upper and lower eyelid correction possible at the same time?

Whether there are risks in eyelid surgery depends on many factors. In our focus clinic in Zwolle we work extremely accurately, so we are specialists. However, any surgery can carry risks. With upper eyelid correction, the chance of complications is small, but it is not impossible. For example, you may experience dry or watery eyes. These complaints are generally only temporary. During the no-obligation consultation (prior to surgery), the risks will be reviewed with you.

Whether the result of an eyelid correction remains visible for a long time partly has to do with the recovery process, but because with an eyelid correction we remove the excess skin and fat above or below your eyelids, this normally has a long-lasting effect. In general, an eyelid correction is a one-off procedure. It may happen that after about 10 years the skin has aged so much that the drooping eyelids return, in which case a second treatment is possible. However, this does not happen often.

It is better not to wear lenses after an eyelid correction in the first week. Be careful not to pull your eyelids hard to put the lenses in and out during the first month after treatment, as this can slow down the healing process.
