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

Many patients come to Boerhaave Clinic wanting to refresh their appearance and look more rested. Bags under the eyes, as recently discussed in the media in relation to our prime minister's eye bags, are a common phenomenon. According to our plastic surgeon Drs. Fortuin, lower eyelid correction is a popular procedure. "I perform this procedure several times a week, often on people who are told by those around them that they always look tired," says Fortuin. What many people don't expect is that half of these patients are men. So striving for a fresh, rested look is certainly no longer just a women's issue.
The procedure itself is quick and effective. Within 30 to 45 minutes, with the choice between general anaesthesia and local anaesthesia discussed in advance, the excess skin and fat tissue of the lower eyelid is removed. After two to six weeks of recovery, our patients look less tired. Often the people around them don't even notice that a treatment has taken place, but compliments about their rested appearance come up regularly.
