What Is Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is a cosmetic and functional procedure that removes or repositions excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids.

The goal is not to change your facial identity but to restore clarity and balance to the eye area.

The procedure may involve:

  • Upper eyelid lift (removal of excess skin causing hooding)

  • Lower eyelid surgery (reduction of under-eye bags)

  • Fat repositioning for smoother contours

  • Subtle tightening of supporting tissues

When performed with precision, eyelid surgery creates a refreshed appearance while preserving natural expression.

Who Is a Suitable Candidate for Blepharoplasty?

You may be a suitable candidate if:

  • You notice drooping or hooding of the upper eyelids

  • You have persistent under-eye puffiness or bags

  • You experience visual obstruction due to excess eyelid skin

  • You are in generally good health

  • You have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

A detailed consultation is required to determine the most appropriate surgical plan.

Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery in Istanbul

Upper Eyelid Surgery

Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin that can create heaviness or shadowing over the eyes. Incisions are carefully placed within the natural eyelid crease for minimal visibility.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Lower eyelid surgery addresses under-eye bags and puffiness by removing or repositioning fat and tightening the area for a smoother contour.

In some cases, both procedures may be combined for comprehensive rejuvenation.

How Is Blepharoplasty Performed?

Eyelid surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity.

  • Incisions are placed along natural eyelid lines.

  • Excess tissue is carefully adjusted.

  • Fat may be repositioned rather than removed.

  • Sutures are placed precisely to support discreet healing.

Surgical time varies depending on whether upper, lower, or combined eyelid surgery is performed.

Modern techniques focus on preserving natural anatomy and avoiding overcorrection.

Recovery & Aftercare

Outpatient Procedure

Eyelid surgery is usually performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning hospitalization is generally not required.

Same-Day Discharge

Patients are typically discharged on the same day after the procedure once the surgeon confirms everything is stable.

Quick Return to Daily Life

Most patients can return to normal daily routines shortly after surgery depending on their recovery progress.

Temporary Eye Sensitivity

Mild burning, watering, or eye sensitivity may occur in the first days after surgery and usually improves with the use of prescribed eye drops.

Safety and Long-Term Outcomes

When performed by experienced plastic surgeons in accredited hospitals in Istanbul, eyelid surgery is considered a safe and well-established procedure.

Long-term results depend on:

  • Skin quality

  • Aging process

  • Lifestyle factors

  • Sun exposure

The goal is structural harmony and long-lasting refinement.
