Blepharoplasty in Turkey (Eyelid Aesthetic)

The given timeframes are approximate. The surgeon will decide on a precise plan based on an individualized assessment.

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid aesthetics, is a medical procedure performed to address non-aesthetic issues caused by aging, trauma, genetics, and infections in both the upper and lower eyelids. It aims to restore a more youthful appearance to the individual.

Effects of Aging and Causes of Eyelid Aesthetics

As individuals age, the combination of gravity and the loss of skin elasticity can result in sagging, wrinkles, and the formation of under-eye bags. Other factors such as sun exposure, sleep disorders, alcohol and cigarette use, and air pollution can also contribute to an unesthetic appearance and accelerate the aging process.

Procedure for Eyelid Aesthetic Surgery

The excess skin on the upper or lower eyelid is marked, and the patient is either anesthetized locally or put to sleep under general anesthesia. Excess skin and any fatty tissue causing bagging are removed. Bleeding is controlled, and the incision site is sutured. Thin strips of tape are applied to the incision site, and the eye is not completely closed. Ice compresses are applied for the first 24 hours after surgery, and bruising and swelling may occur during the first week. The eyes should not be exposed to water for one week, and antibiotic pomades are applied four times a day during this period. Eye drops and wound care continue for about a month. Sutures are typically removed one week after the surgery, and follow-up visits are scheduled for the first day, first week, and first month.

Signs of Aging on the Eyelids

The appearance of aging signs on the eyelids can result in a tired and dull expression. Early onset of these symptoms can make a person appear older than their actual age. Aging signs commonly observed on the lower and upper eyelids include the development of fine lines (goose feet) around the eyes, under-eye bags, skin discoloration, drooping of the upper eyelid, sagging and wrinkles on the eyelid skin, and a fatigued appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How long does the recovery process take after eyelid aesthetic surgery?

The recovery time can vary, but patients typically experience bruising and swelling during the first week. Ice compresses are recommended for the initial 24 hours after surgery. Sutures are typically removed one week after the procedure.

What are common side effects or complications associated with blepharoplasty?

While rare, potential side effects may include temporary blurred vision, dry eyes, or sensitivity to light. Complications are infrequent but can include infection, scarring, or asymmetry. It's crucial to follow post-operative care instructions to minimize these risks.

How long does the rejuvenating effect of blepharoplasty last?

The longevity of results can vary from person to person. While blepharoplasty can provide long-lasting improvements, factors such as genetics and continued aging may influence the duration of the rejuvenating effects. Regular follow-ups with the surgeon and a healthy lifestyle can contribute to maintaining the results.

Can blepharoplasty be combined with other cosmetic procedures?

Yes, blepharoplasty can be combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as facelifts or brow lifts, to achieve a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. However, the suitability for combination procedures depends on individual factors, and this should be discussed with the surgeon during the consultation.
