Blepharoplasty (Eyelid surgery): Rejuvenate Your Eyes
Overview
Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the eyelids. This surgery can correct drooping upper eyelids, remove excess skin and fat, and address under-eye bags, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed look. Blepharoplasty can also improve vision in cases where sagging upper eyelids obstruct the field of vision. Our expert surgeons in Turkey utilize the latest techniques to ensure natural-looking results and a high level of patient satisfaction.
Procedure Options
- Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty: Focuses on removing excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper eyelids. This procedure is ideal for correcting drooping or sagging upper eyelids.
- Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty: Addresses under-eye bags, puffiness, and excess skin in the lower eyelids. This procedure can involve the removal or repositioning of fat and the tightening of skin and muscle.
- Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty: A less invasive approach for the lower eyelids, where the incision is made inside the lower eyelid, leaving no visible scar. This method is suitable for patients with less severe skin laxity.
- Combined Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty: For patients seeking comprehensive rejuvenation, both upper and lower eyelid surgeries can be performed simultaneously.
Benefits:
- More youthful, alert, and refreshed appearance
- Improved vision if sagging eyelids obstruct sight
