For years, Carlo (50) suffered from tired eyes. Especially at the end of the day, he noticed that his upper eyelids felt heavy and sometimes he also had a headache. He also looked tired, even when he wasn't. After an upper eyelid correction at Esthetisch Centrum Jan van Goyen, this changed.
Consultation with a plastic surgeon
Through intermediaries Carlo ended up at Esthetisch Centrum Jan van Goyen. During the first conversation with plastic surgeon drs. Paula Roossink he immediately felt at ease.
Carlo: “She gave me clear explanations and knew exactly what it was about. I had immediate confidence in her. She said: 'We can really do something about this.'”
Nothing noticed
The procedure was scheduled around the Christmas holidays, just as Carlo had hoped. “I wasn’t nervous at all,” he says. “The atmosphere in the clinic was relaxed and I was well taken care of. During the procedure, which was performed under local anesthesia, I was distracted with a nice chat. I hardly noticed anything. The pain was also very bearable.”
Fast recovery
The recovery went smoothly. “After a few days, the swelling had already gone down considerably. I had some bruises, but nothing serious. I was lucky with that, because I know that the swelling was sometimes worse with others. I quickly felt fit again. And what I noticed most of all: I could keep my eyes open much better in the evening. The heavy feeling was gone.”
A fresh look
Carlo is happy with the result, and the people around him also see the difference. “Friends and family say I look fresher and brighter. And I feel it myself. My face is radiant again. I am really happy that I did it.”
So again
Looking back on the entire process, Carlo has no regrets and is full of praise for Jan van Goyen.
The contact was pleasant, everything went professionally and the result is just great. I would do it again in a heartbeat, but luckily that is no longer necessary!”
