Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
As people age, their eyelids stretch, and the muscles that support them weaken. This may result in excess skin/fat gathering above and below the eyelids, which, in the end, causes sagging eyebrows, bags under the eyes, and droopy upper lids. Eyelid surgery is an effective operation that aims to address this problem. So, if you too are considering getting eyelid surgery in Turkey, here is all the information you will need to know!
What is Eyelid Surgery?
Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is basically a type of surgery that is performed to remove the excess skin from the eyelids. A blepharoplasty can be done under local anesthetic or under general anesthetic. Surgery on the upper eyelid usually involves making an incision along the eyelid crease, removing the excess skin, and closing the incision. Surgery on the lower eyelid usually involves making an incision below the lower eyelashes or on the inside of the lower eyelid, removing or repositioning the fat (from the bags that are under the eyes), supporting the tendon and muscles (if necessary at all), and finally, closing the incision.
An upper eyelid surgery may take around 1 hour. Lower lid surgery, on the other hand, may take up to 2 hours. Mostly, patients can go home on the same day as the operation.
Eyelid Surgery Recovery Process
It is usually advised to patients to take a week off from work to recover properly from this surgery. Patients will not be able to drive for some days following the surgery. Bruises, redness, and scars might take some weeks to fade.
Patients should avoid strenuous physical activity -and swimming- for a few days, should not smoke, and should not wear contact lenses or rub their eyes.
Who is a Good Candidate for an Eyelid Surgery?
Getting an eyelid surgery might be the right choice for you if you;
- Have droopy or baggy upper eyelids,
- Have bags under your eyes,
- Have excess skin on the lower eyelids,
- Have excess skin on the upper eyelids, to the point of partially blocking your peripheral vision.
