FACIAL AESTHETICS
Eyelid Aesthetics
Eyelid surgery is a procedure that removes sagging tissue, excess skin, and fat deposits from the upper and/or lower eyelids, providing a more refreshed appearance and, in some cases, improving the field of vision. As skin loses elasticity and muscles weaken with age, the eye area can show signs of fatigue, puffiness, and drooping. Blepharoplasty restructures these areas to achieve a younger and more vibrant facial expression.

How Is the Procedure Performed?
This procedure can be applied to the upper and lower eyelids separately or together. The surgeon removes excess skin and fat through incisions made along natural folds or under the eyelashes. When necessary, internal structures are also adjusted to reshape the eyelid line. After healing, the incisions leave discreet, aesthetically harmonious scars.
Recovery Process
Mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common during the first days after surgery and gradually subside. Most patients can return to social activities within 5–7 days. Stitches are generally removed during this period. Complete healing may take 1–3 months, during which scars gradually fade and the eyelid tissues settle into their new form.
Advantages of Eyelid Surgery
Blepharoplasty brightens the upper face and makes the eyes look younger and more alert. In cases where excess eyelid skin restricts vision, the procedure provides both aesthetic and functional improvements.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate?
Eyelid surgery is suitable for individuals with sagging, puffiness, or wrinkles in the upper and/or lower eyelids, whose overall health allows for surgery. Priority candidates are those with controlled chronic conditions and non-smokers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the results of eyelid surgery permanent?
The improvements from eyelid surgery can be long-lasting; however, natural aging and skin quality may cause slight changes over time.
How soon will I see the results?
Initial results appear within a few weeks as swelling subsides. The final appearance takes shape within 1–3 months as the healing process completes.
Can eyelid surgery correct vision problems?
Yes. If excess upper eyelid skin restricts the visual field, removing it during the procedure can provide both aesthetic improvement and expanded vision.
