Eyelid aesthetics, medically known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to eliminate problems such as sagging, bagging and excess skin on the upper and lower eyelids. Thanks to this operation, the person can have a younger, vigorous and healthy appearance. Eyelid aesthetics can be preferred due to both aesthetic concerns and excess skin that narrows the visual field. Before the operation, the patient's eye structure and expectations are evaluated in detail, so that the most natural and effective results are obtained. Eyelid aesthetics performed by an experienced surgeon is a short and comfortable procedure with a short recovery period. Paying attention to postoperative recommendations ensures long-lasting and satisfactory results.
Eyelid aesthetics, medically known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to correct sagging, bagginess, excess skin, and fat accumulation in the upper and/or lower eyelids. Changes around the eyes due to aging, genetic factors, gravity, and environmental influences can give a tired, aged, or unhappy appearance. Eyelid aesthetics can rejuvenate the eyes, providing a younger, fresher, and more vibrant look.
Eyelid aesthetics surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia and sedation. In upper eyelid aesthetics, excess skin, muscle, and fat tissue are removed through a thin incision made along the natural fold line. In lower eyelid aesthetics, the incision is made just below the eyelashes or on the inner side of the eyelid; the fatty tissue causing bagginess is either removed or reshaped. The incisions become nearly invisible during the healing process. The surgery usually lasts between 1-2 hours, and patients are often discharged on the same day.

Eyelid aesthetics can be performed in various ways depending on the technique used and the targeted area:
Involves the removal of excess skin, muscle, and fat tissue from the upper eyelid.
Involves the removal or reshaping of fatty tissue causing bagginess in the lower eyelid.
The incision is made from the inside of the lower eyelid, leaving no external scars.
A method performed using laser technology that typically has a shorter recovery time.
Eyelid aesthetics is suitable for individuals experiencing sagging, bagginess, excess skin, or a tired appearance around the eyes. Particularly, the following groups are ideal candidates for this surgery:
It is generally performed on individuals aged 35 and older, but it may also be preferred at younger ages due to genetic factors.
The postoperative recovery process is vital for both the permanence of aesthetic results and the patient’s comfort. Mild swelling, bruising, and sensitivity may occur in the first few days. These symptoms typically decrease within a few weeks. Keeping the head elevated as recommended by the doctor, applying cold compresses, and regularly using prescribed medications can accelerate healing. Avoid rubbing the eyes, applying makeup, and using contact lenses for a while. Protecting the eyes from sunlight and allowing them to rest also positively contributes to the recovery process. Stitches are usually removed after 5-7 days.
The price of eyelid aesthetics surgery is not fixed, as it requires personalized planning and can involve different techniques. Prices vary based on the scope of the surgery (upper only, lower only, or both), the surgeon’s experience, the technology used, the hospital’s facilities, and whether additional procedures are necessary. Additionally, postoperative care services and support provided during the recovery process also affect the total cost. The most accurate price information will be provided by the surgeon after a detailed examination and personal assessment. When researching prices, it is important to consider not only the cost but also the quality of the services offered, the surgeon’s expertise, and postoperative support. It should be noted that eyelid aesthetics is a sensitive procedure both aesthetically and functionally, and choosing an experienced surgeon is essential to achieve the best results.
