Eyelid Surgery in Turkey

Blepharoplasty is eyelid surgery designed to address selected excess skin and underlying tissues around the upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both.

Upper blepharoplasty focuses on excess skin and selected tissues of the upper eyelids.

It is commonly considered when the upper eyelids appear heavy or have developed excess skin.

Lower blepharoplasty addresses concerns beneath the eyes such as persistent bags, puffiness and selected lower eyelid tissue changes.

Lower blepharoplasty can improve certain types of persistent under eye bags.

However, dark circles, hollows and pigmentation have different causes and are not automatically corrected by eyelid surgery.

It can create a more rested appearance when excess eyelid skin or lower eye bags are contributing to a tired appearance.

The achievable result depends on your anatomy.

The aim of standard blepharoplasty is generally to refresh the eyelid area while preserving your natural expression.

Any planned change to eye shape should be discussed separately and clearly before surgery.

Yes, in suitable patients.

Combined blepharoplasty may be considered when both upper and lower eyelid concerns are present.

It depends on what is causing the heaviness.

Blepharoplasty treats the eyelids. A brow lift primarily addresses brow position and forehead tissues. An assessment can determine which area is contributing most to your concern.

No.

Facelift and blepharoplasty address different areas of facial ageing, although they may sometimes be performed as part of a broader facial treatment plan.

Yes.

Upper eyelid incisions are commonly positioned within the natural eyelid crease. Lower eyelid incision placement depends on the surgical approach required.

Blepharoplasty commonly takes approximately 1 to 2 hours, depending on whether the upper eyelids, lower eyelids or both are treated.

Discomfort varies between patients.

Tightness, tenderness, swelling and sensitivity can occur during early recovery. Your prescribed medication and recovery instructions will be explained as part of your treatment plan.

The most noticeable swelling generally improves during the early weeks.

Smaller amounts of residual swelling can take longer to settle.

Many patients return to work and normal social activities within approximately 1 to 2 weeks, depending on bruising, swelling, the procedure performed and the nature of their work.

Makeup should not be applied to healing incisions until the area has healed sufficiently.

Your individual recovery instructions will explain when it can be safely reintroduced.

Glasses may be possible depending on the procedure and swelling, but pressure around healing areas should be considered.

Follow your individual instructions after surgery.

If significant upper eyelid skin is physically obstructing the visual field, removing appropriate excess skin may improve that obstruction in selected patients.

Cosmetic eyelid surgery should not be presented as treatment for unrelated eyesight problems.

The improvements can be long lasting, but eyelid surgery does not stop natural ageing.

The tissues around the eyes continue to change over time.

The cost depends on whether upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery or combined treatment is required.
