Achieve a Younger and More Dynamic Appearance with Upper Eyelid Surgery

The eyes are one of the most noticeable areas of the face. Over time, aging, genetic factors, gravity, and environmental influences may cause sagging, loosening, and excess skin accumulation in the upper eyelids. This can give a person a tired, sad, or older-than-their-age appearance.

With upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), a noticeable rejuvenation in aesthetic appearance can be achieved, while sagging that narrows the field of vision can also be eliminated.

What Is Upper Eyelid Surgery?

Upper eyelid surgery is a surgical procedure that aims to give the eyelids a younger, fresher, and more dynamic appearance by removing excess skin, muscle, and fat tissue. This operation, which can be performed under local anesthesia, is generally completed in a short period of time and has a rapid recovery process.

Who Is It Suitable For?

• People with sagging, excess skin, or puffiness in the upper eyelids
• Those who feel that they have a tired, sleepless, or sad appearance
• Patients whose field of vision is narrowed due to upper eyelid sagging
• Individuals who want a younger and more aesthetic facial expression

Benefits of Upper Eyelid Surgery

• A younger and more vibrant facial expression
• Natural and aesthetic results
• Improvement in the field of vision
• Long-lasting effects for many years
• A quick return to daily life

Recovery Process After Upper Eyelid Surgery

Mild swelling and bruising may occur after the operation, but these usually decrease significantly within 5–7 days. Applying a cold compress during the first 24 hours is recommended. Resting with the head elevated for the first few days after the operation helps accelerate the healing process.

Sutures are generally removed after 5–7 days. Most patients can return to their daily lives within one week. Although the complete recovery process varies from person to person, the eyelids usually regain a natural appearance within an average of 2–3 weeks.

Care After Upper Eyelid Surgery

Eye drops or ointments recommended by the doctor should be used regularly. Heavy exercise should be avoided during the first few weeks. Makeup products that may strain or irritate the eye area should not be used during the first 10 days. Sunglasses are recommended to protect the eyes from direct sunlight.

Upper Eyelid Surgery Prices

Upper eyelid surgery prices vary depending on:

• The patient’s needs,
• The scope of the operation,
• The techniques to be used, and
• The medical center where the procedure will be performed.

For this reason, an exact price can only be determined after an examination by a specialist doctor.
