Preparing for eyelid surgeryBook a consultation Items to Prepare in Advance Paracetamol Bag of Frozen Peas (for cooling) Consent form Once your procedure is scheduled, a consent form will be sent to the email address you provided. This form must be signed (digitally) prior to the procedure. The Health and Youth Care Inspectorate (IGJ) legally requires this for surgeries to be performed. Blood-Thinning Medications If you are using blood-thinning medications, you must inform your plastic surgeon during the intake consultation. The surgeon will advise how many days before the procedure you should stop taking them. In exceptional cases, you may continue using blood thinners, but only after consultation with the treating medical specialist. Makeup On the day of the surgery, do not wear makeup or apply creams. Smoking Nicotine constricts blood vessels, which can lead to complications in wound healing. We strongly advise quitting smoking, preferably 6 weeks before the surgery. Alcohol We recommend avoiding alcohol for several days before and after the procedure. Cosmetic Injectables We advise against using muscle-relaxing injectables and/or fillers from 2 weeks before to 6 weeks after the procedure. Feel free to contact us with any questions. Jewelry You may not wear jewelry during the procedure. Arnica Avoid using Arnica drops or pills in the days surrounding the treatment, as these can have a blood-thinning effect. Contact Lenses Remove your contact lenses before the procedure. We recommend using glasses for up to two weeks after the surgery. Ibuprofen Stop using Ibuprofen 10 days before and 10 days after the procedure due to its blood-thinning properties. For any questions, please contact us by email at info@vandenbroeckekliniek.nl or by phone during office hours at 088-0042700. Other treatments Upper blepharoplastyAn upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure in which excess skin above the eyelids, possibly in combination with underlying muscle and fat tissue, is removed. Lower blepharoplastyThe removal of sagging skin under the eyes, possibly combined with the partial removal and/or repositioning of underlying muscle and fat tissue, is referred to as a lower blepharoplasty. Eyebrow liftLow-set eyebrows can give you a gloomy appearance and cause a tired, pressing sensation around your eyes. This can be resolved with a brow lift. Midface liftYou can see a midface lift as an extended lower blepharoplasty. In a midface lift, in addition to addressing under-eye bags, the skin beneath the tear trough is also tightened. Ptosis correctionIf the levator muscle in the upper eyelid does not function properly, it causes a drooping eyelid. This condition is called ptosis and can be corrected with a ptosis correction, also known as levatorplasty. Lower eyelid plasmage Are you bothered by wrinkles or under-eye bags but prefer not to undergo a surgical lower eyelid correction? Then plasmage might be an option for you. Removing xanthelasmaXanthelasma are yellowish cholesterol deposits that form on or around the eyelids. The bumps are benign, but can sometimes be visually bothersome. They can be effectively removed in various ways. Removing permanent makeupSometimes people regret their choice of permanent makeup or feel it no longer suits them. In that case, the PMU can be removed through laser treatments.
