Eyelid aesthetics (blepharoplasty), It is a surgical aesthetic procedure applied to remove sagging, bagging and excess skin appearance in the upper and lower eyelids due to aging or anatomical reasons. These changes around the eyes can give the person a tired, sleepless and older expression. Blepharoplasty aims to achieve a more vibrant, rested and youthful appearance. Since excess skin on the upper eyelid can narrow the visual field in some patients, the procedure can also provide functional benefits.
Blepharoplasty is planned individually, taking into account the eye structure, skin elasticity and facial proportions. During the operation, excess skin and fat tissue are carefully removed or reshaped. Upper eyelid aesthetics can be combined with brow lift and canthopexy procedures when necessary; lower eyelid aesthetics can be combined with mid-face lift.
Surgical scars are placed along the natural crease of the eyelid in upper blepharoplasty. In lower blepharoplasty, the scars are usually hidden in the lash line or the procedure is performed on the inner side of the eyelid (transconjunctival) can be performed without visible traces from the outside.
Blepharoplasty can usually be performed under local anaesthesia. The duration of the operation varies between 30-120 minutes on average, depending on the procedures performed. Patients are usually discharged on the same day. The return to daily life is within 5-7 days in most patients. The final shape of the eyelids is formed within 6-12 months.
