Aesthetic facial surgery
Aesthetic facial surgery is an area of focus of oral, maxillofacial and maxillofacial surgery (oral surgeon for short) that focuses on the soft tissues in the face, such as the skin, muscles and connective tissue around the joint (ligaments), as well as the skeleton of the face.
Why have it performed by an oral surgeon?
One of the advantages that we as oral surgeons have a thorough knowledge of the anatomy of the face and mouth.
If you are looking for a natural result of an eyelid correction, for example, then you can let us treat you. Our oral surgeons have very extensive knowledge of the various surgical techniques in the face and understand how each part of the jaw connects to the face and how to meet the needs of certain patients. It is our daily work.
Our extensive training in oral surgery allows us to offer you a variety of surgical as well as less invasive treatments. Most importantly, we work with you to achieve the best possible end result.
Eyelid surgery
Complaints about the upper eyelids generally involve drooping of the eyelids causing the skin to rest on the eyelashes. In the case of the lower eyelids, there are usually so-called puffiness. These are usually caused by excess fatty tissue and skin. In both cases, the face takes on a tired expression. An eyelid correction is a procedure in which excess skin, muscle and sometimes fatty tissue of the upper and/or lower eyelid is removed. This gives the eye a younger appearance and often eliminates symptoms of fatigue or headaches.
Fillers
Fillers are an excellent option for filling in wrinkles and folds, as well as restoring volume loss often associated with aging. They can also be used to accentuate certain facial contours, such as cheekbones and lips. Hyaluronic acid fillers are the most popular in this regard. Hyaluronic acid is a natural constituent of the body, known for its hydrating properties and its role in maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. The results of a filler treatment can last from six to 12 months.

Botox is used to refine or prevent fine lines and wrinkles, contributing to a younger and more relaxed appearance. It works by relaxing the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, refining and preventing wrinkles. Common wrinkles treated with botulinum toxin are frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet. The muscle relaxant effect of the treatment lasts an average of three months, after which muscle activity fully recovers. However, improvement in lines may remain visible for longer.Botox is a liquid that makes the muscle slack, causing wrinkles to disappear or be less visible. The drug gives the skin a fresh, relaxed and rested appearance.
At Oral Surgery Zuidas, we use the brands Allergan and Dysport. These treatments can usually be performed without anesthesia.
