How does a lower eyelid correction proceed?

A lower eyelid correction is tailored to the changes under your eyes. Beforehand, the plastic surgeon discusses with you which correction is necessary and what you can expect from the treatment. This involves examining, among other things, excess skin, fat deposits, and the shape of the lower eyelids.

The treatment

During a lower eyelid correction, the plastic surgeon makes a small incision just below the lash line. Through this opening, excess fat can be removed or repositioned, and, if necessary, excess skin can be removed. The skin is then carefully closed. The precise procedure varies from person to person and is determined based on your lower eyelids and the desired result.

Anesthesia and duration of the procedure

The lower eyelid correction is performed under the anesthesia agreed upon with you in advance. During the consultation, you will receive an explanation regarding the chosen form of anesthesia and the preparation for the treatment. We will also discuss how long the procedure is expected to take and when you can go home after the treatment.

Scars after lower eyelid correction

Because the incision is placed close to the lash line, the scar is usually as inconspicuous as possible. In the initial period, the scar may still be somewhat red or visible. This gradually diminishes during recovery. How a scar ultimately heals varies from person to person.

In the first few days, it is advisable to take it easy and limit exertion. When you can return to work, play sports, and fully resume your daily activities depends on your recovery and the type of work you do. During the check-ups, the healing of the lower eyelids will be assessed, and you will receive advice on gradually increasing your activities.

The final result is not immediately visible after the treatment. As the swelling subsides and the area around the eyes continues to heal, the result becomes increasingly visible.
