Eyelid corrections

The skin of the eyelids is very thin and therefore prone to stretching. Consequently, many people develop excess skin in the eyelids over the years. A slight excess of skin in the eyelids is only cosmetically disturbing. However, when the skin hangs over the eyelid edge, it causes upper visual field restrictions. Often, not only the skin slackens, but also the underlying connective tissue. This can cause fat from the eye socket to bulge forward. This causes swelling of the eyelid.

At Dr Goekoop, you can get eyelid corrections. This is possible for both our own patients and people from outside the practice area. If you are interested, please contact us for a no-obligation introductory consultation with Dr Goekoop.

Patient experiences

Mr K. on the correction

"More and more people were asking if I had slept badly," Mr K says. "But it wasn't fatigue - it was my eyelid half hanging over my eye, giving me a constant, tired look. The thought of the hospital and everything around it held me back. Until my GP, Dr Goekoop, told me he could also perform the correction in the practice, together with his assistant Renske. In familiar surroundings, at a time that suited both of us. This approachable offer made the step much smaller for me. The GP took extensive time to explain the procedure to me, so I knew what to expect.

Within an hour and a half, it was done and I could go home. Aftercare was fine. After two weeks, the swelling was pretty much gone. I am very satisfied with the result. The GP did not remove too much or too little. It looks very natural and my eyes are clear and fresh again. I am also rid of the heavy feeling on my eyes. I'm glad I had the procedure done by the GP!"

Ms K. on treatment

Ms K. shares, "I recently had an eyelid surgery and I am extremely happy with the result! The procedure was quicker than I expected, and the healing went extremely well. Swelling and bruising were minimal, and after just a few days I felt completely at ease. The procedure was performed professionally and with care. What surprised me most was how quickly I recovered and how natural the result looks. My eyes seem fresher and more open, and I feel much more confident. I'm really glad I took the plunge and would definitely recommend it to others considering eyelid surgery."
