Eyelid Aesthetic Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
What Is It?
Eyelid aesthetic surgery (blepharoplasty) is a surgical procedure performed to remove sagging, puffiness, and excess skin from the upper and/or lower eyelids. The surgery improves aesthetic appearance and provides functional benefits by removing excess skin that narrows the field of vision.
Surgery Duration and Type of Anesthesia
The upper eyelid surgery typically takes 30–45 minutes, while the lower eyelid surgery can last 1–1.5 hours. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia; in some cases, sedation or general anesthesia may be preferred.
Techniques for Lower Eyelid Surgery
In lower eyelid surgeries, the transconjunctival blepharoplasty technique is particularly preferred in younger patients. In this method, the incision is made from the inner side of the eyelid, so there is no visible scar. Fat bags can be removed or redistributed. This technique is ideal for patients with puffiness but no excess skin.
Why Is This Surgery Preferred?
With time, the loss of skin elasticity can cause sagging and puffiness in the eyelids, leading to a tired and aged appearance. Eyelid aesthetic surgery not only gives a more youthful and vibrant expression but also improves the field of vision in some patients.
Get in Touch
Aesthetics reshapes not only appearance but also self-confidence.
Who Is It Suitable For?
It is suitable for individuals over 30 who experience sagging, puffiness, excess skin, or structures that affect the field of vision. Successful results are achieved in patients who are in good general health and have realistic expectations.
Recovery Process
Light bruising and swelling after the surgery are normal. Stitches are typically removed within 5–7 days, and the patient can return to their social life. Full recovery may take 2–3 weeks. Scars gradually fade over time.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will vision be affected?
The surgery can improve vision; it does not cause permanent vision loss.
Will there be scars?
Incisions are made along natural folds, so scars will gradually become less noticeable over time.
How long do the results last?
The results are typically lasting for 7–10 years.
Eyelid aesthetic surgery (blepharoplasty),when performed with proper planning, an experienced surgeon, and close collaboration with the patient, makes it possible to achieve natural and harmonious results that maintain the overall aesthetic balance of the face. Since each patient’s anatomy and expectations are unique, individualized planning plays a key role in the success of the procedure.
