During the consultation, your overall health condition is assessed. Any existing medical conditions, medications you are taking, and previous surgeries are reviewed. A detailed examination is performed. The shape of your eyelids and the elasticity of the skin are evaluated. As with any aesthetic procedure, photos are taken before the surgery.

In upper eyelid surgery, the scar is hidden within the natural crease of the upper eyelid; in lower eyelid surgery, it appears as a fine line just beneath the lower eyelashes. These scars are barely noticeable from a conversational distance, and detailed information is provided during consultation.

The scar left from the surgery will be permanent. Although it may be more noticeable in the beginning, it will fade significantly within a year.

Upper eyelid surgery can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation or just local anesthesia. It takes approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour. Excess skin and muscle tissue on the upper eyelid are removed. If needed, fatty tissue causing puffiness is also taken out.

Lower eyelid surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1 hour. An incision is made just below the lower eyelashes. Through this incision, excess skin and the fatty tissue causing puffiness are removed.

Tape is applied over the incision sites, and the stitches are removed in the first week.

The result of the surgery is permanent.

Every surgery carries certain risks. Early or late complications related to anesthesia or the procedure itself may occur.

In the early postoperative period, bleeding, infection, or wound separation may be observed. Scars may heal with raised or thickened tissue.

Specific to this surgery, you may experience complaints such as stinging or burning in the eyes. These symptoms can be treated with eye drops.
