What are the different areas involved in eyelid surgery?
A blepharoplasty consists of removing excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids which immediately improves the patient's appearance and in many cases also their visual field.
Additionally, in the lower eyelids the main focus lies on fat removal and fat displacement with the purpose of taking away the eyelid bags developed over your lifetime.
A full treatment, known as a 4-lid blepharoplasty, treats both upper and lower eyelids and can really change somebody's life as it dramatically improves their physical appearance as well as a person's self-esteem.
How can I treat my droopy eyelid or ptosis?
An often under-recognised lower position of the upper eyelid, called a ptosis or droopy eyelid, can also be treated simultaneously. A droopy eyelid usually occurs with ageing, but can occur in adolescents as well, often as a result of wearing contact lens.
This, and all other aspects of the eyes and their surrounding tissues will be evaluated when visiting us for an intake blepharoplasty consultation with Doctor Rob van der Veen, to offer you the best possible solution that fits your specific needs.
