Why an eyebrow lift?
Do you have a tired, angry expression or an oppressive feeling on your eyes? Or perhaps you have a limited field of vision due to your drooping eyebrows. An eyebrow lift or eyelid surgery can help your symptoms. A brow lift is possible in 2 different ways via injectables (temporary result) or surgically (permanent result). In order to advise you properly, we make a facial analysis during the no-obligation consultation.
Why do eyebrows drop?
The constant action of gravity combined with sagging skin can cause eyebrows to droop. Often it is also genetically determined or the eyebrows are predisposed to be a bit lower than usual and this is intensified over time.
Different types of eyebrow lift
Direct eyebrow lift
Under local anesthesia above the eyebrow, we remove an oval-shaped piece of skin. So when suturing, the skin tightens and thus the eyebrow is moved upward. It creates a scar that is generally not very visible. A scar can be chosen directly above the eyebrow or slightly more upward so that it can fall in line with a pre-existing wrinkle.
Lateral brow elevator
The lateral eyebrow lift is a technique that elevators the eyebrow well and hides scars in the hairline. This makes it a very suitable technique for people who want a more pronounced eyebrow lift and well-hidden scars. If you are balding, this procedure is not suitable. In this case, because of the receding hairline, the scars may actually come into view. By the way, we do not perform this treatment ourselves.
Eyebrow elevator with injectables
This is very simple and quick procedure with hardly any recovery time. Treatment with injectables will cause the eyebrows to rise slightly higher than before treatment. This provides a fresh and rested look. An eyebrow lift with injectables will need to be repeated after about 3 – 4 months.
Great result and nice staff

Then go to our playlist ‘Frequently asked questions about eyelid corrections‘ on YouTube. Drs. Dulaimi addresses a series of questions here.
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.
No, our eye surgeon works with a local anesthetic. This means that only the area around your eyes is anesthetized during the treatment. This means you can go home quickly after the treatment and you will not experience nausea as a result of the anesthesia. You also do not need to fast before the treatment.
In most cases you can go home half an hour after the operation, provided you feel well. Make sure there is someone to take you home, because you are not allowed to drive or cycle yourself. Public transport may be possible. In that case, you can take sunglasses with you so that the wound is also well protected from sunlight.
After the correction of your upper eyelids, the area around your eyes is swollen and bruising is sometimes visible. Fluid pockets may also appear under your lower eyelids. We secure the stitches with plasters. You must leave these in place until you return to our clinic to have the stitches removed.
Whether your eyelid correction is reimbursed by the insurer does not depend on your insurer, but on the type of treatment and the extent to which it bothers you. However, an upper eyelid correction is a cosmetic procedure and is not reimbursed. There are exceptions, but this is rare.
A lower eyelid correction (where the eyelid turns in or out) falls under basic care and is therefore reimbursed.
Because we are a non-contracted healthcare provider, we do not declare the care for you to the health insurer. In principle, you must pay for the care provided at the counter immediately after your appointment by means of a debit card payment, unless other agreements have been made with you. So you first pay for the treatment yourself. You can then submit the invoice you receive from us to your health insurer. What you get back from your health insurer depends on your insurance conditions.
The procedure takes 30-45 minutes.
