Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid Aesthetic Surgery  (Blepharoplasty) in Antalya

Eyelid aesthetic surgery has become a very popular cosmetic procedure in recent years. Known as blepharoplasty, this procedure is performed to improve the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids. In some cases, both upper and lower eyelids may be treated.  Blepharoplasty aims to correct sagging, puffiness, or wrinkles in the eyelids caused by aging, genetic factors, or fatigue.

Blepharoplasty can be performed under local or general anesthesia. During the procedure, excess fat, muscle, and skin tissues are removed or repositioned by making incisions in the eyelid. Sagging skin on the upper eyelid or puffiness in the lower eyelids is reduced. Sometimes, eyelid muscles may also be tightened.

Blepharoplasty is generally performed for cosmetic reasons, but in some cases, it is necessary to improve vision or eye health. After the procedure, temporary side effects such as swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort may occur. The recovery period usually lasts a few weeks, and the full healing process may vary from person to person.

Differences Between Upper and Lower Eyelid Aesthetic Surgeries

Eyelid aesthetic surgery involves the surgical removal of excess skin, fat, and muscle tissue around the eyes. This operation is performed to correct sagging and puffiness in both upper and lower eyelids. However, there are key differences between upper and lower eyelid surgeries.

Upper Eyelid Aesthetic Surgery

Upper eyelid surgery is performed to eliminate sagging skin and wrinkles in the upper eyelids. During the procedure, excess skin is removed, and the muscle tissue around the eyes is tightened. Additionally, wrinkles known as “crow’s feet” can also be reduced during the operation.1.

Lower Eyelid Aesthetic Surgery

Lower eyelid aesthetic surgery is performed to eliminate under-eye bags, hollowness, and dark circles. During this procedure, excess fat tissue under the eyes is removed to achieve a smoother and more youthful appearance. If necessary, fat injections can be applied to fill hollow areas under the lower eyelids.1

Key Differences Between Upper and Lower Eyelid Aesthetic Surgeries

• Surgical Area: Upper eyelid surgery targets excess skin and muscle tissue on the upper eyelid, while lower eyelid surgery addresses under-eye bags and hollow areas.

• Aesthetic Goals:Upper eyelid surgery aims to correct sagging and wrinkles on the eyelids, whereas lower eyelid surgery focuses on eliminating under-eye bags and dark circles.

• Recovery Process:Both procedures are generally performed under local anesthesia and have a fast recovery process. However, recovery after lower eyelid surgery may take slightly longer compared to upper eyelid surgery.

Anesthesia in Upper Eyelid Surgery: Is the Patient Put to Sleep?

Upper eyelid surgery is a procedure aimed at correcting aesthetic and functional problems such as sagging and puffiness in the eyelids. One of the most common questions among patients is the type of anesthesia used during this operation.

Types of Anesthesia in Upper Eyelid Surgery

In most cases, local anesthesia  is preferred for upper eyelid surgery. Local anesthesia numbs the area with small injections, allowing the patient to remain awake during the operation without feeling any pain or discomfort.1

However, in some cases, general anesthesia  may also be used. If another procedure such as a facelift or breast surgery is planned during the same session, general anesthesia may be preferred. Under general anesthesia, the patient is completely asleep and feels nothing throughout the surgery.

What Should Be Considered After Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)?

The post-operative care for blepharoplasty can vary depending on how the procedure was performed and the individual’s general health condition. However, in general, here are the key points to consider after blepharoplasty:

• Use sun protection for at least one month after blepharoplasty when going outdoors. Apply sunscreen and wear high-protection sunglasses. Harmful UV rays can irritate the delicate skin around the eyelids and negatively affect the healing process.

• Avoid heat exposure during the first few days. Hot showers, saunas, jacuzzis, and excessively warm environments can increase swelling and bruising. It is recommended to stay away from such conditions.

• Refrain from intense physical activities during the recovery period. Heavy exercise, weightlifting, or strenuous movements can worsen swelling and delay wound healing in the eyelid area. Avoid any sports or exercise without your doctor’s approval.

• Do not apply pressure to the eyelids or rub your eyes after surgery, as this can interfere with healing. Try to avoid touching your eyes, and when necessary, use only the cleaning methods recommended by your doctor.

• Avoid eye makeup for a certain period after surgery. The delicate skin on the eyelids is still healing, and makeup products may increase the risk of infection. Do not apply any eye makeup until your doctor advises it is safe.

• Avoid using skincare products like eye creams or acidic serums around the eyes after blepharoplasty, unless approved by your doctor.

What Is a Failed Eyelid Surgery?

A failed eyelid surgery typically refers to undesirable outcomes resulting from blepharoplasty procedures performed under inappropriate conditions or by unqualified individuals. In such cases, not only may the expected aesthetic results not be achieved, but the patient’s overall health can also be negatively affected. Common signs of a failed eyelid surgery include:

• Complications during the healing process after surgery can be a sign of a failed eyelid surgery. These may include issues such as infection, delayed wound healing, wound reopening, or excessive scarring.

• The goal of blepharoplasty is to correct sagging or puffiness in the eyelids. However, if noticeable sagging or puffiness remains after the operation, the surgery may be considered unsuccessful.

• If noticeable asymmetry develops in the eyelids during recovery or after surgery, it may indicate that the desired result was not achieved. A lack of symmetry can be aesthetically problematic.

• If the eyelids have an unnatural shape after surgery—such as being too high or too low, or lacking the natural eyelid crease—this may be a sign of surgical failure.

• Eyelid ptosis refers to the eyelid drooping below its normal position. If this occurs after blepharoplasty, it can be considered a failed outcome.

• An overly tight or artificial appearance of the eyelids following blepharoplasty may also indicate an unsatisfactory result.

While the situations mentioned above are often due to blepharoplasty performed under improper conditions, they may rarely occur without a clear cause or due to the patient’s general health factors.

How Much Does Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) Cost?
