“IT IS POSSIBLE TO MAKE YOUR EYE AROUND LOOK YOUNG AND VIBRANT WITH LOWER AND UPPER EYELID AESTHETICS.“
Eyelid aesthetic; It is the process of tightening the eye area that supports the tissues by removing excess muscle and skin tissue in the lower and upper eyelids.
Our eye area changes, sometimes genetically and sometimes due to the effect of gravity due to aging. The skin on the upper eyelids becomes loose and the eyes may not look as open and vibrant as before. In some cases, this condition may even be severe enough to affect vision.
“WHAT IS YOUR SPECIFIC QUESTION FOR YOUR EYELIDS?”
In addition to the upper lids, hollows or bags may also occur under the eyes.
All these effects can make the face look much older, tired and exhausted. However, with the surgical techniques we have today, it is possible to make the eye area look much younger and more vibrant.
Why is eyelid surgery performed?
Eyelid surgery is not only performed for aesthetic reasons, it can also be performed due to congenital or acquired eyelid sagging or drooping eyelids or skin tumors on the eyelid.
In addition to cosmetic benefits, aesthetic eyelid surgeries can also be planned for functional reasons, as they increase the diminished field of vision, enable the eyes to be opened more easily, and facilitate many important daily activities such as reading a book.
The position of the muscles of people who will undergo eyelid aesthetics should be evaluated very carefully. If there are drooping eyebrows in addition to signs of aging in eyelid surgery, eyebrow lift surgery should definitely be considered. After eyelid aesthetic surgeries performed without correcting droopy eyebrows, the eyebrows may drop further, preventing a good aesthetic result.
What is done in eyelid surgery?
With eyelid aesthetics, sagging upper eyelids are lifted and bulging bags above and below the eyes are removed. In this way, it is aimed to make the eye area look younger and to give patients a sharper and more impressive look. Tired, angry or sleepy appearance, which are common complaints of patients, can be corrected with eyelid aesthetic surgeries.
How should the preparation process for surgery be?
Although eyelid surgery is a simpler procedure compared to other plastic surgeries, as before all surgeries, research on your general health condition, wound healing properties and eye health should be carried out meticulously.
If you have any eye complaints (such as eye pressure, dry eyes, use of contact lenses and glasses), an ophthalmologist consultation is definitely required.
Before the surgery, you must inform your doctor about all the medications you use, especially blood thinners, and any surgeries you have had.
Operation time
If only the upper eyelid is operated on, it will take approximately 20 minutes, while if the upper and lower eyelids are operated on together, the procedure may take up to 1 hour. After surgery, patients are usually discharged on the same day.
Type of anesthesia
Eyelid aesthetic surgery, which generally does not take long, can be performed under local anesthesia, but general anesthesia may also be preferred as a result of the joint decisions of the patient and the physician.
What is the recovery process like?
Eyelid aesthetics is not a painful process. It usually heals quickly. Patients do not need to be disconnected from their social life for a long time. Whether the surgery is performed locally or under general anesthesia, the patient can be discharged on the same day (after your physician’s approval, if the health conditions are appropriate).
It may cause eye dryness during the first week following aesthetic eyelid surgery; It is recommended that you limit activities such as reading books, using the computer, and watching television. At the end of the first week, you usually feel well enough to do your normal activities, but you should avoid heavy exercise and activities for 4 weeks.
After the surgery, there will be thin protective bands in the fold of the upper eyelids and at the base of the eyelashes of the lower eyelids. These tapes are removed from the stitch line on the third day, and care and treatment continues by applying cream to the scars.

Although not every doctor’s follow-up process for their patients is the same, stitches are usually removed in the first week after surgery. In fact, many doctors, including me, use self-dissolving stitches, so there is no need to remove the stitches after surgery. Let’s assume that you have stitches, the patient does not feel any pain or pain during the stitch removal.
While the scars on the suture line are red and obvious in the first week, they heal day by day by becoming fainter and when the healing period is completed, they will be so faint and indistinct that they cannot be noticed from the outside.
The healing process of non-smoking patients is always faster than that of smokers. Non-smoking patients are always luckier when it comes to scars.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How are eyelids affected by aging?
During the natural aging process, the skin and fat tissues that hang over the eyes and weigh them down narrow your visual field, and as a result of reflexive eyebrow lifting, parallel wrinkles begin to form on our forehead. As a result, your visual acuity decreases due to the skin sagging over your eyes, and headaches may occur in the evenings due to keeping your forehead muscles overly tense. It can also lead to a tired, angry, sleepy appearance.
Can eyelid surgery be combined with other surgeries?
Eyelid aesthetics can also be performed in combination with eyebrow lift surgery in patients who need it. The height or droopiness of your eyebrows is very important for the permanent success of eyelid surgery. Be sure to ask your surgeon to perform this analysis. If your eyebrows are at a low level, just upper eyelid surgery will not be enough.
A brow lift will not prolong the healing process of eyelid surgery. Both applications improve simultaneously and contribute very positively to the appearance you will achieve.
