With age, the skin slackens and our eyelids start drooping more and more, creating a tired and aged look. Whatever the advertising promises, the various ointments on the market offer no relief, or only short-term relief. Those who want to get rid of droopy eyelids or bags under the eyes for good must seek refuge in aesthetic surgery. At I Care Clinic in Wezembeek-Oppem, Dr Decoene performs this short, routine and painless procedure to quickly restore a young and fresh appearance.
Droopy eyelids and puffiness occur in both men and women. Hereditary factors can play a role in their occurrence but the main cause lies in ageing, causing excess or sagging tissue above and/or below the eyes. This sagging causes the skin to start sagging, leading to a tired and aged look.
Eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty is performed on adults who suffer from excess skin on the upper eyelids, which distorts their contours and may even obstruct vision. In the case of drooping lower eyelids, the white area under the iris may be exposed. Fat accumulation finally under the eyes (puffy eyes) is also an indication.
In those less than 18 years of age, eyelid correction can also be performed for medical reasons or in cases of hereditary strain, subject to thorough evaluation beforehand and the consent of a parent or guardian. Read all the details about the treatment here before you make a decision.
Dr. Decoene, aesthetic surgeon at I Care Clinic, performs the treatment after a thorough consultation. The procedure in which excess skin is cut away or redistributed is painless, performed under local anaesthetic and normally takes between 90 and 120 minutes.
The results of eyelid surgery are long-lasting and have a positive effect on appearance and self-confidence. It always leads to a fresher look, better vision and a younger appearance with minimal risk of side effects. During the first week after the procedure, slight swelling of the skin may occur. After about a week, the threads are removed, the swelling reduces and further recovery sets in, with normal activities often able to resume after just a few days.
At I Care Clinic, an eyelid correction (upper or lower) costs €1,500. Both together come to €2,500. All fees include VAT.
