Eyelid Surgery Procedure in Turkey

What is Eyelid Surgery?

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle. This procedure can address concerns such as sagging eyelids, under-eye bags, and drooping skin that may impair vision or contribute to an aged, tired appearance.

Whether you’re looking to refresh your eyes for a more youthful look or improve your vision by correcting drooping lids, blepharoplasty can provide long-lasting, natural results.

Why Consider Eyelid Surgery?

Blepharoplasty offers both aesthetic and functional benefits, making it a highly sought-after procedure for individuals seeking to:

Remove excess skin that creates folds or hides the natural contour of the upper eyelids

Eliminate under-eye bags and puffiness caused by fatty deposits

Tighten drooping lower eyelids that expose the white part of the eye below the iris

Improve vision by removing sagging upper eyelid skin that obstructs sight

Rejuvenate tired or aged eyes, making you look more awake and refreshed

This procedure is highly customizable, allowing our expert surgeons at TrustCare to tailor the treatment to your specific concerns and deliver a naturally youthful look.

The Eyelid Surgery Process

At TrustCare, our skilled team is dedicated to providing a seamless experience from your first consultation to your final results. Here’s what to expect from your eyelid surgery journey:

Consultation:

During your initial consultation, our surgeon will assess your eyelids, discuss your aesthetic goals, and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan. We’ll address any concerns you may have and help you understand the expected outcomes.

Pre-Surgery Preparation:

Before surgery, you’ll receive detailed instructions on how to prepare, which may include avoiding certain medications or lifestyle factors like smoking to ensure a safe procedure and smooth recovery.

The Procedure:

Anesthesia: Eyelid Surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure.

Incisions: For upper eyelid surgery, incisions are made along the natural crease of the upper eyelid, making any scars virtually invisible. For lower eyelid surgery, the incision is usually made just below the lash line or inside the eyelid to minimize visible scarring.

Reshaping: The surgeon will carefully remove or reposition excess skin, fat, and muscle to create a smoother, more youthful contour around the eyes.

Closing the Incisions: Incisions are closed with fine sutures, and any scarring will be hidden within the natural folds of the eyelids.

Duration: The procedure generally takes 1-2 hours, depending on whether upper, lower, or both eyelids are being treated. It’s often performed as an outpatient surgery, allowing you to return home the same day.

Aftercare and Recovery

Recovery from blepharoplasty is typically smooth and quick, with most patients returning to their daily routines within a week or two. Our team will provide personalized aftercare instructions to help ensure the best results and a comfortable healing process.

Post-Operative Care:

Cold Compresses: Applying cold compresses in the first 48 hours can help reduce swelling and discomfort.

Lubricating Ointment and Eye Drops: You may be given eye ointments or drops to keep your eyes moist and promote healing.

Suture Removal: Any non-dissolvable sutures are typically removed within 5-7 days after surgery.

Healing Timeline:

First Week: You may experience mild swelling, bruising, or blurry vision, which will improve within the first week. You should rest, avoid strenuous activity, and keep your head elevated to reduce swelling.

2-3 Weeks: Most patients feel comfortable resuming normal activities, including returning to work. Swelling and bruising will continue to diminish, revealing your refreshed appearance.

Full Recovery: Final results are typically visible within 4-6 weeks, with scars continuing to fade over time.

Aftercare Tips:

Protect Your Eyes from Sunlight: Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from sun exposure and harsh elements.

Avoid Eye Strain: Limit activities that cause eye strain, such as reading or using digital devices, in the first few days.

Follow-Up Visits: Regular follow-up appointments allow us to monitor your healing progress and ensure you’re satisfied with your results.
