With too much skin on the upper eyelids or thick pockets of fat under the eyes, you look permanently tired. An eyelid correction of the upper and\/or lower eyelids can make your wilted look radiant again. A younger and fresher appearance is the result. Eyelid surgery is currently among the top 3 most frequently performed procedures in plastic surgery.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\t\tChemical peel of the eyelids\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>When eyelid skin is grey in colour or full of fine wrinkles, a trichloroacetic acid peel or a croton oil peel can provide new skin texture. This peel scrapes away the superficial bad layer, creating new younger-looking skin.

Performed by an experienced plastic surgeon, it is a very safe operation that always gives spectacular results.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pdedoncker.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/herstel.svg\" alt=\"recovery\" width=\"61\" height=\"61\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Recovery<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p>After the procedure, you may go home after resting for an hour. However, you will not be allowed to drive home by car alone.<br \/><br \/>Any pain after the procedure can be relieved with classic painkillers such as ibuprofen or paracetamol.<br \/><br \/>The day after the procedure, the eyes are most swollen. The eyes may also tear, causing you to see less sharply. With a single eyelid correction, the blue spots disappear after about 8 days. With a double correction, it may take a little longer. If you need to go outside, you can wear sunglasses. After the procedure, you may cool the area around the eyes with ice or wear gel glasses. In practice, however, the effect of these has been found to be ineffective.<br \/><br \/>The non-visible subcutaneous suture is removed within the week to achieve an invisible line.<br \/><br \/>Normally, you can return to work after three days. Work absence is slightly longer if you have a job that involves a lot of contact with customers.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pdedoncker.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/verdoving.svg\" alt=\"anaesthetic\" width=\"61\" height=\"61\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Anaesthetic<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p>Usually, local anaesthesia is sufficient.

One or two fully qualified nurses are part of the team.Only this procedure guarantees the highest possible safety for you as a patient.Local anaesthesia not only ensures an operation without pain, but also minimal blood loss and bruising.If you are taking blood-thinning drugs, please inform the doctor in advance (e.g. acetylsalicylic acid, asaflow, cardioaspirin, dipiridamole, plavix, sintrom, marevan and others).After your procedure, you will be given your surgeon's personal mobile phone number so that you can feel safe.<\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\tbefore and after\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>See the before and after results of this treatment<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pdedoncker.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/15931.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pdedoncker.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/15934.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pdedoncker.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/54371.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pdedoncker.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/54374.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pdedoncker.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/79501.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pdedoncker.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/79504.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pdedoncker.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/142961.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pdedoncker.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1429610.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/contact\/\" target=\"_self\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tContact us\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\tWhat our satisfied patients say\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Our satisfied patients let us know their experiences.<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p>Read their stories and find out how our personalised approach in plastic surgery helped them boost their self-confidence, achieve their goals and feel better about themselves.
