Possible variations
Surgery will be planned individually on the basis of the actual conditions:

When an eyelid lift is performed, excess skin is removed at the same time as small lines and baggy eyelids. The flabby muscle tissue is tightened.

Removal or redistribution of fatty tissue on the lower eyelids will do away with tear sacs and rings under the eyes. This will refresh the look of your eyes. This kind of operation can be combined with other surgery such as a brow lift, temple lift or facelift.

Preparation

Prior to the operation your physician will discuss your expectations with you and look at the various possibilities available. In each individual case we determine whether the operation will require hospitalisation or whether it can be done on an outpatient basis.
