What is Eyelid Surgery?
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic or functional procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. It can enhance the appearance of tired or droopy eyes, correct puffiness, and improve vision in cases where sagging upper eyelids obstruct sight.
Turkey is a leading destination for eyelid surgery, known for its skilled surgeons, cutting-edge facilities, and affordable pricing, ensuring a world-class experience.
Who is it For?
Eyelid surgery is suitable for individuals experiencing:

The Procedure
Eyelid surgery is typically performed under local anaesthesia with sedation or general anaesthesia, depending on the complexity.
• Upper Eyelid Surgery: An incision is made along the natural crease of the eyelid, through which excess skin, fat, and muscle are removed.
• Lower Eyelid Surgery: The incision is made just below the lash line or inside the eyelid (transconjunctival approach) to address puffiness and sagging. The procedure generally lasts 1–2 hours, depending on whether both upper and lower eyelids are treated.

After the Procedure
• Immediate Recovery: Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are normal and subside
within 1–2 weeks.
• Post-Surgical Care: Follow your surgeon’s instructions, which include applying cold
compresses, keeping the head elevated, and using prescribed eye drops or ointments.
• Results Timeline: Initial improvements are visible within 1–2 weeks, with full results
appearing over the next few months as healing progresses.
Possible Complications (Minimised with Expert Care)
Eyelid surgery is a safe and common procedure, but like any surgery, it carries potential risks, such as:
• Temporary swelling, bruising, or dry eyes.
• Difficulty closing the eyes fully during the early healing phase.
• Rare risks, such as infection, scarring, or asymmetry, are minimised through expert care and follow-up.
