Aesthetic Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

With the advancement of age and the effect of gravity, skin loosening, excess and sagging occur in the eyebrows, upper and lower eyelids, and there may be bagging, especially in the lower eyelids, with the forward herniation of the fat tissues. In addition to causing an aesthetic appearance disorder, this situation can prevent the person from seeing by closing the front of the eye with the drooping upper eyelids. With aesthetic eyelid surgery, excess skin is removed and the membrane in front of the herniated adipose tissue is strengthened and-or the excess fat mass is removed. In this way, both a beautiful appearance is obtained and the person can see comfortably. A scar is left along the lid on the upper eyelid. However, since this trace will be adapted to the lid fold, it is only visible when viewed very closely. On the lower lid, a trace remains just below the eyelashes, the continuation of the trace looks like a normal skin line on the side. Eyelids are the least scarring part of the human body.

People over the age of 30, who have started to sag and bagging on the upper and lower eyelids, and who have no other health problems, are candidates for this surgery.

The operation is performed in hospital conditions, under the supervision of an anesthesiologist and in the operating room. Local anesthesia and intravenous sedation (intravenous sleep) method is preferred. According to the patient’s current complaints, only the upper or lower lids or both lower and upper lids can be operated at the same time. The operation takes an average of 1-1.5 hours. It is possible to go home the same day.

Early period after surgery usually passes on at ease. There may be swelling and bruising around the eyes. Dry eyes, burning sensation, blurred vision may occur. Tears may increase, eyes may be disturbed by light for a while. The patient may not be able to close his eyes completely in the first days. These are expected events that occur spontaneously within the first week. Stitches are removed after 3-5 days.

Surgery gives good results most of the time. Rarely, revision (re-surgical intervention) may be necessary. The person can return to work after 3 days. If he is using it, he can wear his contact lenses after 1 week. Since the new shape of the eyelids will be affected by gravity, it will last for many years, although it varies according to the person’s body.
