Blepharoplasty is an aesthetic procedure performed on the upper and lower eyelids. It is performed to correct the sagging of the upper eyelid skin downward and to the side over time due to gravity. The downward drooping of the upper eyelid can also reduce the patient's side vision to the right and left. It is performed to correct the sagging of the lower eyelids and bags under the eyes.
When we look at people's faces, the first thing we notice, the first place we look at, is the eyes. The more lively and energetic our looks, the more positive the first impression we make on the other person. For this reason, it is important for our eyes and the area around our eyes to look young and vibrant.
Blepharoplasty surgery removes the sagging skin and fatty tissue on the upper and lower eyelids. This process reduces the wrinkles we call "crow's feet" on the outer edge of the eyes and the dark circles under the eyes.
Blepharoplasty can be performed with both general and local anesthesia. It is a day procedure, so you do not need to stay in the hospital. While the procedure for only the upper eyelid takes about 1 hour, if both the lower and upper eyelid aesthetics are performed, it may take up to 2 hours. There is very little pain during and after the surgery. We respond very well to painkillers. In the first days after surgery, there may be swelling and edema in the eyelids, bruising rarely occurs.
Blepharoplasty can also be performed in combination with a facelift. But the basic logic of such surgeries is to avoid, as much as possible, surgeries that take a long time, have higher risks, have a longer recovery period, are more painful, and cause more edema and bruising, such as facelifts, and instead of such difficult surgeries, the results of which appear in a longer time. is to create alternative methods that are less painful and have a shorter recovery period.
Blepharoplasty surgery reduces the need for Botox and fillers to be applied to the area called "crow's feet" around the eyes.
