Discover the different types of facelifts, from the S-lift to the combined neck and facelift, and what you can expect from each procedure.

Of course, you don't always have to look your Easter best. But it's a different story when you do try, yet you still keep looking tired. Over the years, the skin above your eyes can become slacker and, in the worst case, even obstruct your vision. Your upper eyelids have then truly become little curtains hanging over the upper half of your eyes. Something that can make you look tired when you are not tired at all! What you see in the mirror does not reflect how you really feel. The balance is gone.
In an upper eyelid correction, the excess skin of the eyelids is surgically removed. Thanks to the eyelid correction, the eyelids regain their youthful appearance.
Colleagues or friends may sometimes wonder whether you got to bed at a reasonable time the night before. You can expect questions such as ‘Are you tired? Is something wrong?’. And your family members start pointing at your eyes and joking about curtains and bags.
Then the fun soon wears off and you wish you were able to simply keep your eyes fully open again, just like before. But those curtains – your upper eyelids – make it impossible to keep that up for longer than five seconds. And because of the bags under your lower eyelids, you look considerably older than the age you would most like to associate yourself with.
So it is not surprising that at some point a day comes when you stand in front of the mirror and tell yourself sternly: “This really can't go on any longer”. Perhaps you soon have a job interview or a presentation on which a lot depends for you. Perhaps next month you have a party or a wedding for which you want to look your Easter best. Especially if you are the guest of honour or the bride or groom yourself. The solution may then be closer than you have realised all this time: an eyelid correction.
Very often, people combine this procedure with a correction of the lower eyelids. Exactly the same thing has happened here under the influence of age: here too the skin has become slacker and bags form under the eyes. And here too the problem can be solved by surgically removing the excess skin and tightening the remaining skin, so that your lower eyelids also regain their youthful look. As a result, you look well rested again when you get up in the morning. Looking your Easter best!
