Over time, signs of aging such as sagging, bagging and wrinkles may appear on the eyelids. Sagging on the upper lid gives the person a tired and old expression; In some cases, it may also limit the field of vision. Aesthetic problems such as bagging and collapse may develop in the lower lid. These changes; It is caused by a combination of factors such as genetic structure, age, facial expression use, insomnia, smoking and sun exposure.
Eyelid aesthetics (blepharoplasty) is a surgical procedure performed to correct these problems. Excess skin and muscle tissue in the upper eyelid is removed, and fat tissues that cause bags in the lower eyelid are reshaped or removed. If necessary, fat injection under the eye can also be performed. In this way, both aesthetic and functional improvement is achieved.
The surgery is performed with local or general anesthesia and usually takes 30–60 minutes. Upper and lower lid procedures can be combined in a single session. It is natural to experience slight swelling and bruising in the first few days after the procedure; Cold application alleviates this process. Stitches are removed in approximately 1 week. Patients can usually return to their daily lives within 5–7 days. Since the scars are hidden in the eyelid folds, they lose their visibility over time. The effect of the procedure lasts for an average of 10-15 years. However, since the aging process cannot be stopped, reintervention may be required in the following years.
