Make up help after upper bleph

63 replies

UpperBleph · 03/10/2025 08:11

I had an upper bleph 3 and a bit weeks ago and I’m very happy with it.

I can finally wear eyeshadow and mascara etc but have no clue what to buy. I’m 50 and like Matt colours not glittery.

Please can anyone suggest a palette and mascara please? I used to wear black. Happy to splurge a bit for decent stuff. Thank you.

Hundreds of customers throughout the Netherlands, Switzerland and Germany come for treatment every week. We currently work with 34 doctors, 4 surgeons and a large team supporting the medical team.

That was easy 😄 Most of their offerings are injectables, they don't need doctors for that.

Yes I know what the website says. However I wanted actual real experiences from people like the OP who say they have been there. Websites can post any old crap. And pay for fake reviews.

And I don't want injectables so their offerings on that score are irrelevant.

Thanks for your multiple replies but unless you personally have been to Faceland and/or had an UB there really isn't anything further you can help me with.

And my post was a question to @SENsupportplease

Great pic but are we sure this isn't just a clever advert disguised as a makeup post? I watch a lady on YT who recently had an UB in the UK, she was in hospital for days, general anaesthetic, massive bruising and swelling and weeks and weeks of recovery so the OP's breezy pain free day trip does not ring true

I understand what you mean but I promise it’s not. They do get bad reviews too. I’ve been on here for over 20 years (mn would confirm I’m sure)

Also I put my whole recovery on my TikTok, I had lots of bruising on days 2/3 so you can see I’m real! It’s JulesWentThere if you want to see the swelling etc.

The Faceland Facebook post also described smelling "burning flesh" during the procedure! What part of a surgical incision process would cause a burning flesh smell? I'm not sure what they are offering for £500 is a surgical method....

You can smell a slight burning. Like pork scratchings almost. It’s when they cauterise it to stop bleeding.

Also I’ve just thought. The waiting list for Amsterdam is apparently over 5000. So they don’t need any one to do an advert for them.

Do you have to make two visits to Faceland in the Netherlands, or can you speak on Zoom and only go once for the op?

You do the consultation on Google meet and then go over for the op.

Aw you are most definitely due a make over. You claim the cost of the makeover against products after. It’s on my to do list after my bleph. Don’t go to all that trouble of opening your beautiful brown eyes up and then not accenuate them with a product they use..
win win

Thank you so much x

Thanks, are you talking about Faceland? If so it is true they are not surgeons, only Dermatologists?

Just trying to understand the £500 price when UK is circa £3-6k and other EU Poland/Turkey are still in the £2k plus territory

Just gone onto the faceland website and the prices have gone up to £2,700
I think OP said she paid £540…

The price is still about the same for Amsterdam. Lots are going to Düsseldorf now as the waiting list is smaller but it’s about £660-680 I think.
