Eyelid aesthetics aims to reshape the eyelids that make you look tired, sleepless, unhappy, sluggish and unhealthy and fall in almost each individual case over time. It is an operation that is the most applied worldwide but requires great care.

Some changes that occur in the upper and lower eyelids with aging:

• Bagging and discolouration under the eyes
• Droopy Eyelid
• Wrinkles and sagging of the eyelid skin
• Crow’s feet
• Tired facial expression

People who want to undergo blepharoplasty surgery, deliberately or for functional reasons, can have blepharoplasty performed on the upper eyelid or the lower eyelid, or both, as needed.

What is Eyelid Surgery, Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic eyelid surgery applied to the upper and lower eyelids, where the tissues surrounding the eye are stretched, sagging skin and excess muscle tissue are removed. Blepharoplasty is performed by ophthalmologists.

Sagging of the skin occurs naturally due to aging and gravity. For these reasons, symptoms such as droopy eyelids , skin laxity, discolouration, loosing and wrinkles occur. Factors such as exposure to sunlight, air pollution, irregular sleep,excessive consumption of alcohol and regular smoking accelerate the aging process of the skin. The lower or upper eyelids affected by these processes gain the appearance they should have with blepharoplasty surgery.

In the pre-operative meetings with the patient, the appearance that the patient dreams of achieving and what the surgeon can do should be evaluated very well. A natural and youthful appearance should be achieved with surgery.

Results of Eyelid Aesthetics (Blepharoplasty)

Blepharoplasty can make changes around the eyes and therefore on your face, which you will be very pleased with your appearance.  By getting rid of sagging and swollen upper eyelids, you can also eliminate negative effects caused by aging and the feeling of heaviness and fatigue in the eyes. Getting rid of the bags under your eyes can dramatically improve your appearance.In fact, we can say that tighter and healthier lids improve the distribution and even evacuation of tear secretion on the eye surface.However, we cannot say that blepharoplasty can completely get rid of bruises under the eye. Crow’s feet or eyebrow anomalies  or sagging are also not situations where we can expect improvement with upper or lower lid operations. Setting realistic expectations and sharing all the details with your surgeon is one of the most important elements to achieve satisfactory results after surgery
