Eyelid Aesthetics (Blepharoplasty)
Eyelid aesthetics, medically known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting the sagging, bagging, and excess skin appearance that occurs over time in the upper and lower eyelids. The eye area is one of the regions where facial aging is noticed earliest, and changes in this area can cause a person to look more tired, sad, or older than they actually are.
The primary goal of blepharoplasty is not to artificially enlarge the eyes or change the expression, but to provide a more rested and balanced facial expression by eliminating excess tissues around the eyes. With correct planning, the natural structure of the eyes is preserved, and results in harmony with the face are achieved.
Who is Eyelid Aesthetics Suitable For?
Individuals who have skin excess on the upper eyelid or experience bagging and loosening in the lower eyelids are among the suitable candidates for blepharoplasty. In some patients, the sagging of the upper eyelid can reach a level that narrows the field of vision, in which case the procedure becomes a functional necessity.
Before the surgery, the anatomy of the eye area, skin elasticity, and the use of facial expressions are evaluated in detail. When necessary, upper and lower eyelid procedures can be planned together.
Blepharoplasty Surgery Process
Eyelid aesthetics is generally performed under local anesthesia, although general anesthesia may be preferred in some cases. Incisions are planned along the natural crease line in the upper eyelid, and at the lash line or from inside the lid in the lower eyelid. This way, surgical scars become unnoticeable over time.
During the surgery, excess skin and fat tissues are removed or reshaped. The procedure duration is usually short, and same-day discharge is possible.
Recovery After Eyelid Aesthetics
Mild swelling and bruising may be observed after the surgery. These effects generally decrease within the first weeks. Most patients can return to their daily lives in a short time. The results provide a significant but natural rejuvenation around the eyes.
