Blepharoplasty in Turkey

Eyelid surgery or eye lift also called blepharoplasty in professional medical language, is a cosmetic procedure which is one of the common cosmetic surgeries in Turkey.

This procedures help to remove excess fat, tissue and skin from around the upper and lower eyelids which will smooth out the sagging skin that surrounds the eye.

The surgery will correct the drooping and puffiness that can make you look older. So, it will give the eyes a more refreshed and awake look, without much scarring or a painful recovery.

Usually, eyelid surgery is done in conjunction with other surgeries, like face lifts and brow lifts.

If you’re sick and tired of looking in the mirror and seeing a pair of old, baggy and tired-looking eyes staring back at you, then you may have to consider getting help from our plastic surgeons at Aesthetic Land Hospital, who are considered the best cosmetic surgeons in Istanbul, Turkey.

Before your surgery, you will have at least one or two consultations with the doctor. He or she will discuss with you how the surgery will work and what results you can expect.

In most cases, you will be able to see a digitally enhanced picture of yourself after the surgery so that you and your doctor can be on the same page as to what you want.

You will also be given direction about what you can eat and drink the day of your surgery, and you should also be prepared with a driver to take you home after the surgery and to help you for a few days while your vision may still be blurry.

If you are going to have a general anesthetic and are a smoker you will be asked to stop smoking before surgery to prevent any unnecessary complications. Some analgesics like aspirin and even some anti-inflammatory drugs should not be taken prior to eyelid surgery as a safety measure.

The first step of your surgery is to receive anesthesia, and you and your doctor can choose whether to have local or general.

The cosmetic surgeon will start by making tiny cuts around your eyes to separate the skin for the fat underneath. He’ll cut the eye lid, right at the crease, to remove a small portion of the actual lid.

The incisions will then be carefully closed and the incision lines will be well hidden within the natural bone structure of the eye socket, so no one will be able to see a thing.

After this skin is cut away, the edges of the remaining skin are sewn together to help lift the eye up, hence the name.

As for the lower eyelid, an incision on the inside of the eyelid is made so there is no visible scar. Through that same incision, which is considered the safest since it leaves the supporting muscles of the eyelid undisturbed, the lower eyelid fat is removed.

The actual incisions will be covered in tape at the end and the suture will then be removed after four days.

The procedure, when done alone on all four eyelids, can take only about one and a half hours of a patient’s time. Sometimes it can be little bit longer depending on his specific needs.

All a patient needs are sunglasses, and he can go out in public immediately after surgery.

However, he cannot wear make-up until five days after the surgery. Within three weeks, he can resume normal activities.

It takes a patient a week to ten days to recover from eyelid procedure.

Like all other forms of cosmetic surgery, there are risks involved with eyelid surgery.

The most common side effects include:

The healing time is generally quite quick. In a few days, you should feel a lot better and the results are fantastic.

However, the real dangers come with the risk of complications during the surgery with the anesthesia or after the surgery with infection.

While major problems are rare, you should still talk to your cosmetic surgeon to make sure that you understand these risks before you choose to have this surgery preformed.
