Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic or reconstructive surgical procedure that involves removing excess skin and fat from the upper or lower eyelids, and sometimes both. The procedure can help improve the appearance of drooping or sagging eyelids, reduce the appearance of under-eye bags and create a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Suitable candidates for blepharoplasty are typically individuals who are in good general health and have realistic expectations for the outcome of the procedure. Ideal candidates are usually over the age of 35, but some younger individuals with hereditary factors or other medical conditions may also be suitable. Those with excess skin or fat on their eyelids that may cause vision impairment or make them look tired or older than they are may also be good candidates for the procedure. However, it is important to note that a consultation with a qualified oculoplastic surgeon is required to determine if you are a suitable candidate for blepharoplasty and if the procedure is right for you.

Treatment

Upper and lower blepharoplasty are two surgical procedures that involve the removal of excess skin, fat and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids.

Upper blepharoplasty procedure:

Depending on the extent of the procedure and the patient’s preference, the patient is given local or general anesthesia.

The surgeon makes an incision along the natural crease of the upper eyelid.

Excess skin and fat are removed from the eyelid.

The incision is then closed with sutures or surgical tape.

Lower blepharoplasty procedure:

Depending on the extent of the procedure and the patient’s preference, the patient is given local or general anesthesia.

The surgeon makes an incision along the lower lash line or inside the lower eyelid.

Depending on the patient’s needs, excess skin, fat or muscle is removed from the lower eyelid.

The incision is then closed with sutures or surgical tape.

The procedure usually takes between 45 minutes and 1 hour and a half, depending on the extent of the surgery. Recovery time varies from patient to patient but typically takes two to four weeks. During this time, patients may experience temporary discomfort such as mild swelling and bruising.

What is ptosis and how is ptosis surgery performed?

In simple terms, ptosis literally means drooping – sagging. In medicine, we most commonly use it to name eyelid ptosis.

The causes of droopy eyelids are old age, congenital, neurological and trauma. We perform ptosis surgery after a detailed evaluation

Ptosis surgery is only performed if the cause of the ptosis is known. Among these reasons, it is easier to decide on surgery in the case of congenital ptosis or ptosis due to old age.

A number of investigations are required before surgery is performed for ptosis that occurs later, in youth or adults.

Treatment

How is ptosis (droopy eyelid surgery) treated?

  • Low eyelids reduce the comfort of life and even prevent vision.
  • The treatment is usually surgery. If possible, we perform the surgery under local anesthesia so that the height of the patient’s eyelids can be adjusted during surgery.
  • Care should be taken especially in children in terms of lazy eye.
  • If your eyelid is covering the pupil, early surgical intervention should be planned.
  • It can also impair psychosocial development.
  • The surgical method varies depending on the strength of the levator muscle that lifts the eyelid.
  • Local or general anesthesia may be preferred depending on the age of the patient.
