Eyelid correction is one of the most popular procedures at Blooming, but it is not right for everyone. In this article, our specialists explain what makes someone a good candidate for upper or lower eyelid surgery. Factors such as your overall health, skin quality, the degree of excess skin, and your personal expectations all play a role in determining whether surgery is the right choice. We also explain which concerns can be addressed non-surgically. Our goal is always to provide honest, personalised advice so you can make the best decision for you.
When considering an eyelid correction, there are often many questions. Various factors play a role that may be decisive in your decision. It is of course important to know whether you are a suitable candidate for an eyelid correction.
Drooping eyelids can be a source of problems for both young and old. These problems can be troublesome for both your appearance and your health.
As our skin ages, it gradually loses its elasticity. Combined with the constant pull of gravity, this can lead to drooping eyelids.
Every person is unique. We all live different lives and therefore do not age in the same way. The same applies to the ageing of the skin. This means that it must be assessed on an individual basis whether an eyelid correction can provide a solution. There is therefore no ideal age at which to undergo an eyelid correction.

As with any procedure, it is important that you are physically and mentally stable. Certain medical conditions increase the risk, such as thyroid disorders, dry eyes, excessively watery eyes, diabetes, high blood pressure or other circulatory disorders, and heart problems. It is therefore important that the plastic surgeon is fully informed of your medical history.
Realistic Expectations
An eyelid correction can both change your appearance and improve health complaints. The best candidates for an eyelid correction are those with realistic expectations regarding the result. This means that one is seeking improvement with a natural-looking outcome.
