Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery): Techniques and Healing

Blepharoplasty refreshes the area around the eyes by addressing excess skin or puffiness on the upper and/or lower lids. Many people consider eyelid surgery in Turkey to look less tired rather than to change their appearance dramatically.

Upper vs lower eyelid surgery

Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin that can hood the eye; lower blepharoplasty addresses puffiness or bags. The two can be done together or separately depending on your concerns.

Who is a candidate?

Candidates typically have heaviness, hooding or under-eye bags and realistic goals. Because the eye area is delicate, a careful consultation is essential — book a consultation to have yours assessed.

Recovery

Bruising and swelling around the eyes are normal early on and settle over the following weeks. Cool compresses, head elevation and avoiding strain are commonly advised. Follow your surgeon's guidance closely for this sensitive area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it change my eye shape?

The aim is a refreshed, natural look rather than a changed eye shape; discuss your goals at consultation.

How long until I look presentable?

Bruising and swelling ease over the first couple of weeks; your surgeon will give a personal estimate.

Can upper and lower be combined?

Yes, if appropriate for you — this is decided individually.
