Procedure Overview

Eyelid aesthetics (blepharoplasty) is the most effective procedure to erase the tired, aged, and sad expression around the eyes caused by gravity, aging, and environmental factors. The eyelid skin is the thinnest in the body, making it the first area to show signs of aging, sagging, and bags. Blepharoplasty is not just an aesthetic operation; it also corrects functional issues such as vision obstruction due to excessive upper eyelid sagging or eye dryness caused by lower lid laxity. The surgery involves removing excess skin and muscle from the upper lid and correcting fat bags and laxity in the lower lid. With scarless surgical techniques, incisions are hidden within the natural eyelid folds, resulting in a naturally vibrant and refreshed gaze.

“In eyelid surgery I aim for a natural, rested gaze — hiding incisions in the lid folds while preserving your expression.”

— Op. Dr. Hüseyin Arslan

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my vision change?
No, vision is not affected, in fact field of view improves.
Will it sag again?
Results last for many years, aging continues naturally.
Should I have only the upper eyelids done, or both upper and lower together?
This depends on where the sagging and puffiness around your eyes are concentrated. In some people only excess skin on the upper lid is the issue, while in others under-eye fat bags on the lower lid are more prominent. Upper and lower eyelids can also be treated in the same session; whether this is needed is decided during the examination.
What type of anesthesia is used for eyelid surgery?
The procedure is often performed under local anesthesia, sometimes combined with sedation for added comfort. For more extensive combined procedures, general anesthesia may be preferred. The choice of anesthesia is planned according to the scope of the procedure and your overall health.
I am traveling from abroad. How many days should I stay in Istanbul?
For most patients, planning a stay of around 4 to 6 days is reasonable. This allows time for the initial consultation, the procedure, an early follow-up, and suture removal. The exact duration may vary depending on the planned procedure and how your healing progresses, so it is best confirmed before travel.
When can I fly, and what should I be mindful of before the flight?
Flying is usually considered appropriate after the sutures are removed, which for many patients is a few days after surgery. The exact timing depends on the procedure and your recovery. During the flight, using artificial tears to ease dryness around the eyes and following your surgeon's recommendations are important.
How does a remote online assessment work?
For patients coming from other cities or abroad, the process usually begins with photographs and a video call. This preliminary assessment covers the structure of the eye area, your expectations, and your general medical history. The online consultation is informational; final planning is completed after an in-person examination.
