Eyelid Aesthetic Surgery (Blepharoplasty) in Turkey

Introduction

The skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate than anywhere else on the face. Over time, this area shows the earliest signs of aging, such as wrinkles, drooping eyelids, under-eye bags, and dark circles. Factors like aging, smoking, genetics, sun exposure, and stress accelerate these changes, causing a tired, sad, or older appearance.

When sagging or puffiness begins to affect appearance or vision, eyelid aesthetic surgery ? medically called blepharoplasty ? becomes an effective solution.

What Is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. It is not performed only for cosmetic reasons; in many cases, drooping eyelids can restrict the visual field, making surgery a functional necessity.

• Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty: Removes sagging skin and excess fat that weigh down the upper eyelid.
  
  
• Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty: Treats under-eye bags, puffiness, and sometimes dark circles by repositioning or removing fat deposits.
  
  
• Functional Blepharoplasty: Performed when eyelid drooping interferes with vision, helping restore both appearance and sight.
  
  

Why Eyelid Surgery Matters

• Restores a younger, refreshed look
  
  
• Improves visual field if drooping lids obstruct sight
  
  
• Reduces eye fatigue caused by heavy lids
  
  
• Enhances self-confidence in both personal and professional life

The Procedure

• Pre-Surgery Assessment: Doctors evaluate skin thickness, fat distribution, and muscle structure around the eyes.
  
  
• Anesthesia: Usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation. Rarely requires general anesthesia.
  
  
• Surgery: Small incisions are made along natural eyelid creases, allowing removal or repositioning of excess fat and skin.
  
  
• Duration: Typically 1?3 hours depending on whether both upper and lower eyelids are treated.
  
  
• Hospitalization: Usually performed as a day procedure; no overnight stay required.
  
  

Modern Techniques in Blepharoplasty

Thanks to advanced medical technologies, eyelid aesthetics can now be performed with greater precision and faster recovery:

• Laser Blepharoplasty: Uses laser for incisions, reducing bleeding and swelling.
  
  
• Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty: Performed from inside the eyelid, leaving no visible scar, suitable for younger patients with under-eye bags but no skin excess.
  
  
• Combined Procedures: Blepharoplasty may be combined with brow lift or facelift for full facial rejuvenation.
  
  

After Eyelid Aesthetic Surgery

• Recovery: Swelling and bruising usually subside within 7?10 days.
  
  
• Pain: Mild discomfort can be managed with prescribed painkillers.
  
  
• Stitches: Removed after about 5?7 days (if non-absorbable sutures are used).
  
  
• Daily Life: Most patients return to social and professional activities within 10?14 days.
  
  
• Final Results: Noticeable once swelling resolves, with natural-looking, long-lasting improvements.
  
  

Risks ; Considerations

Blepharoplasty is generally safe, but as with any surgery, there are potential risks, including:

• Temporary blurred vision or dry eyes
  
  
• Swelling or bruising
  
  
• Rare risks: infection, bleeding,

 Choosing a board-certified ophthalmologist or plastic surgeon in an accredited hospital minimizes these risks.
