Eyelid surgery is a type of cosmetic surgery that corrects defects in the eyelids or improves the appearance of the upper or lower eyelids.
Also known as blepharoplasty or eye lift, eyelid surgery can correct a number of problems in the area around the eyes, including sagging skin above the upper eyelid, puffiness, bags under the eyes, etc.
You will find a lot of clinics offering eye lift surgery in Turkey, especially in the cultural capital of the country, Istanbul.
There are six different techniques for rhinoplasty operation.
You may be asked the following questions before undergoing your eyelid surgery:
After eyelid surgery, the eyes may be covered with gauze and a thin bandage placed over the incisions as they heal. The stitches are removed after about a week.
You are instructed on which medicines to use to treat diseases and how to take care of the eye area. As the skin heals, irritation, dry eyes, and mild to moderate pain may occur, which can be treated with medication, cold compresses, and ointments.
It takes several months to fully recover, but in most cases, it takes 7-10 days to resume normal activities and most swelling will subside and bruising will subside. During recovery, the eye area should not be exposed to the sun and tinted sunglasses should be used if exposure to daylight is required. Leather should always be handled gently without being exposed to any abrasive movements.
You should ask your surgeon about the time immediately after surgery and during recovery. You may have questions about where you will be placed after the surgery, what medications you will be given, and when to make an appointment for follow-up care.
The final results of blepharoplasty should only be seen after the initial swelling and bruising have subsided.
Your eyelids may be swollen and bruised for 1 to 3 weeks after surgery. The appearance of your eyes may continue to improve for 1-3 months. Most people feel ready to go out in public and return to work in about 10-14 days. It may depend on your job and what you think people know about your surgery.

Typically, patients are advised to stay in Turkey for 5-7 days after a blepharoplasty procedure. During this time, patients will have follow-up appointments with their surgeon to monitor their progress and ensure that they are healing properly.
It's typically recommended to arrive in Turkey 2-3 days before your blepharoplasty procedure. This allows you to meet with your surgeon, have any preoperative tests and evaluations, and prepare for the surgery.
Results will generally last 5 to 7 years. Lower eyelid blepharoplasty rarely needs to be repeated. If you notice your eyelids start to droop over time, you may be able to get a brow lift instead of another eyelid surgery.
You can have eyelid surgery at any time. But if you're looking for someone for aging, you'll usually get the best results after age 40. Older adults should generally avoid the procedure due to the risk of surgical complications.
In general, upper eyelid blepharoplasty is a painless procedure that patients can usually perform and benefit from a minimal amount of postoperative pain medication, as the procedure is so gentle. It is almost like the excision of the skin and the eyelids themselves are painless.
This surgery is worthwhile for people who want to look younger and more comfortable in and around the eyes. The results are subtle but dramatic, and the recovery is mild with little reported pain.
Eyelid surgery will permanently change the appearance of your face. But, that changing will not be big and bad. The change will be as you want.
Yes. Double eyelid surgery (top and bottom blepharoplasty) can enlarge your eyes by removing excess skin around your eyes and lifting sagging skin.
An eyelid lift can deliver dramatic results by tightening the skin around the eyes, eliminating wrinkles or puffiness, and providing a more youthful appearance.
Eyelid surgery can affect your vision in different ways, both short-term and long-term. Immediately after blepharoplasty, patients may notice changes in their vision during recovery. As eye tissue begins to heal, blurred or disorienting vision is normal.
Your eyelids may be swollen after surgery. The incisions will probably also be red. The swelling and bruising associated with recovery from blepharoplasty tends to resemble dark circles under eyes. It's normal.
All blepharoplasty procedures involve incisions in the skin around the eyes. This means a scar will be left at the incision site.
