Upper Eyelid Surgery
With the advancing age, the upper eyelid skin becomes loose and sagging, as well as herniation in the fat tissues in this area occures, which makes the person look old, tired and sad. Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is a surgical procedure used to get rid of the uncomfortable appearance of the person. In upper eyelid surgery, excess skin can be removed, herniated fat tissues can be removed, or the upper eyelid can be made more aesthetically acceptable by transferring it to the empty areas. Satisfaction rates in upper eyelid surgeries can reach up to 80%-90%.

The operation can be performed under both local anesthesia and general anesthesia. The operation process is determined in line with the preference and health status of the person. An incision is made in the upper eyelid fold, and the skin, muscle tissue and fat pads are intervened according to the patient's needs. Stitches are removed after 8-10 days, the patient can return to his active life after 10 days.

Undesirable conditions such as sagging or outward turning of the eyelid may occur in lower eyelid surgery.Various techniques have been developed to minimize these problems. However, choosing the right patient for lower eyelid surgery is very important. Compared to the upper eyelid, it is known that even the best hands have lower satisfaction rates.
