Upper eyelid correction

Steven was referred to a plastic surgeon by his GP. For years, he had suffered from physical complaints: headaches, shoulder pain, and neck pain that simply wouldn't go away. Not even after many visits to the physiotherapist. That was until after his surgery with plastic surgeon Edin Hajder, when a forehead lift and upper eyelid correction proved to be the solution. Steven: “I ended up at plastic surgeon Edin Hajder and Esthetisch Centrum Jan van Goyen through an acquaintance. Not only did I experience fatigue, headaches, and muscle pain, but I also received many negative comments about my appearance. Comments like: 'You look so angry' and 'are you grumpy' were not unfamiliar to me. The first consultation with plastic surgeon Edin Hajder ‘I had enough reasons to make an appointment with Edin Hajder. The first consultation felt immediately familiar. Edin is friendly, listened well, took my complaints seriously, and took ample time to discuss the treatment. ’I read on the internet that the doctor is very skilled in his field and has a lot of experience with this specific procedure. After the consultation, the decision was therefore made quickly.‘ The forehead lift and upper eyelid correction ’The surgery went much better than expected. I considered it 9 years ago as well, but didn't dare take the step at the time. Now I think: 'I wish I had done it sooner'. All that time I was walking around with complaints caused by raising my eyebrows unnaturally much.“ Perfect aftercare ”What I consider a plus at Esthetisch Centrum Jan van Goyen is the collaboration between the specialists and assistants. In particular, the person who helped me during the follow-up appointments reassured me time and again. I also appreciated the expert advice regarding the use of scar cream and a cooling mask for the eyes. Such lovely people at your clinic. Kudos!“ The second step ‘After my forehead lift and upper eyelid correction, I had surgery one more time. This time on my lower eyelids. Dr. Edin Hajder performed this surgery together with his colleague Paula Roossink. This procedure also went smoothly, and I am currently still recovering. Next week I have another appointment with the plastic surgeon for a check-up. I am extremely satisfied; not only are my symptoms gone, but I also feel much better!’

People around her thought she looked tired, while Jolanda actually felt fit. To regain a fresher, more open look, she decided to inquire about the possibilities for an eyelid correction at Esthetisch Centrum Jan van Goyen. She had a consultation with Dr. Paula Roossink, after which she decided to undergo the procedure with her. In this article, Jolanda shares her experience. Impressed Jolanda was familiar with the work of Dr. Roossink, a plastic surgeon at Esthetisch Centrum Jan van Goyen. Jolanda: 'I often find her results very beautiful, which is why I requested a consultation with her. During the consultation, she really thought along with me. An eyelid correction was certainly possible, but she also advised me to lift one of my eyebrows slightly. That eyebrow was always a bit lower, and that way the position of my eyebrows would be symmetrical again. Immediately after the appointment with Dr. Roossink, I had an appointment with consultant Jeffry. He went through the steps with me thoroughly once more so that I would be well prepared for the surgery. 'What I really liked was that I felt absolutely no pressure. I truly decided for myself whether I wanted this and, if so, when.' The surgery Within four weeks, Jolanda was able to have the surgery. 'This appointment was scheduled in consultation, on a day that suited me well. The surgery was performed under local anesthesia. Step by step, Dr. Roossink explained to me what she was going to do, which I found very pleasant. I didn't find it nerve-wracking. My friend, who was operated on the same day, was scared, though. Fortunately, she said afterwards that it wasn't nearly as bad as she expected and that she hadn't needed to worry so much. I also found it to be quite manageable. Dr. Roossink is very calm and works meticulously, which made me feel completely at ease. Afterwards, I was given a small bag with cooling elements for my eyes and aftercare information. It stated that I could contact her 24/7 in case of any complications. It's a comforting thought that you can always turn to someone.' Myself Again After Eyelid Correction 'For the first three days, my eyes were a bit swollen, but not enormously. After seven days, I felt like I was getting my 'normal' face back somewhat. I was surprised how quickly this happened. It took another four weeks or so for the fluid to disappear completely; after that, I was truly myself again. I am incredibly happy with the result. When I speak to people now, they say: "You look so rested, have you been on vacation?" That is surely much nicer than them saying you look tired!'

Jeffry considered his upper eyelids a typical family ailment – and he knew that you would experience far fewer complaints after an eyelid correction. That is why he opted for an eyelid correction with Dr. Paula Roossink. You underwent an eyelid correction with plastic surgeon Paula Roossink; how did you experience this? “I found the procedure itself to be very relaxed; the assistant and the plastic surgeon talk you through the entire process. The marking was done with great precision, which felt like it took more time than the procedure itself.” Are there many people in your circle who have undergone an eyelid correction? “Eyelid correction is very common in my family; my mother has even had it done twice. So, a real family trait.” Did you have doubts before the operation? “Before the procedure, I had absolutely no doubts; I actually already knew that I would benefit greatly from it, and afterwards, this proved to be true. Besides the fact that everything looks a lot fresher and younger, it also feels much “lighter.” I no longer feel any pressure on the eyelids, which is very nice!” How do you prepare for an eyelid correction? “Not much preparation is needed for an eyelid correction. If you smoke, you have to stop a week beforehand, and the same applies to consuming alcohol. For me, it was important to mainly look forward to it! I believe that if you go into the procedure in a positive mood, this influences the healing process. Did the recovery go well? “After an eyelid correction, my advice is to mainly get plenty of rest and to pamper yourself (or let yourself be pampered) a little. The more rest you take, the sooner the swelling subsides and the faster you recover.” How do you find the final result? “I am incredibly happy with the result, and now, after more than 6 months, the scar is barely visible!”

No matter how long she slept or how she felt, Marije always had significant bags under her eyes and drooping eyelids. That is why she visited plastic surgeon Dr. Paula Roossink for a consultation. Dr. Roossink advised her to undergo both an upper and lower eyelid correction. She did not have to think about this for long and scheduled the procedure. The surgery took place in February 2023, and in this article, she shares her tips from her perspective as a patient. Please keep in mind that these are not tips from a medical specialist, but that Marije wrote this article herself. Before the surgery “If you are considering having eyelid surgery, it is important to be well prepared. For example, I was well aware that I wouldn't look my best for quite some time after the procedure. With upper eyelid surgery, this is usually about 7 to 10 days, whereas with lower eyelid surgery it can take up to two weeks. So, I made sure not to have any important appointments during that period. I also ensured that I was fit and rested before the surgery. Personally, I enjoy running and walking, and I did that a lot in the weeks leading up to it.” 1. Plan sufficient recovery time “After my surgery, I felt pretty good in itself, but of course my eyes were quite swollen. I took it easy for the first few days and my husband was home to look after the children. I had taken a week off and after that I went back to work. I have an office job and that actually went fine. In my case, it took about two weeks before I looked 'presentable' again. Until then, I wore sunglasses outside to hide the swelling.‘ 2. Avoid exercising in the first few weeks ’After my eyelid surgery, I wanted to start running again quickly, but it is really important to be patient with exercise. Your body needs time to recover, and that certainly applies to strenuous activities. My doctor recommended not exercising at all for the first four to six weeks. This means no intensive workouts, weightlifting, or cardio. Once I started exercising again, I listened carefully to my body. I started with walking and built it up until I was walking faster and faster. I also avoided activities where I had to bend over or where the pressure on my eyes could increase, such as weight training or intensive yoga.” 3. Use cold compresses “One of the best ways to combat swelling is by using cold compresses. For the first few days after the procedure, I placed them on my eyes regularly, always wrapped in a tea towel. This not only helped with the swelling but also relieved the pressure I was experiencing.” 4. Ensure a good sleeping position “Another tip I can give is not to lie flat after the surgery. For the first few days, I slept with multiple pillows so that my head was slightly higher than normal. Because your head is elevated, fluid can drain better, which promotes healing and prevents your eyes from becoming extra swollen. It took some getting used to at first, but it is a simple adjustment that can have a major effect on the recovery process.” 5. Protect your eyes from the sun “Sunlight can irritate the sensitive skin around the eyes and cause scars to darken. Especially in the first few months after the surgery, it is important to protect your skin well. That is why I applied SPF 50 to the scars and always wore sunglasses on sunny days.” Finally: be patient! “It can take a while before you see the final result of the procedure. For me, it took about three months before I could fully see how beautifully the procedure had turned out. In the meantime, I regularly took photos of my eyes. When I looked back at the photos from a week or a few weeks earlier, I saw a clear difference. I am incredibly happy with the result of my procedure at Esthetisch Centrum Jan van Goyen. It has given my self-confidence a huge boost, and I feel fresh and rested again.” Disclaimer: In this article, Marije shares tips from her perspective as a patient.
