Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty): Restore a Refreshed and Youthful Look

The eyes are often the first feature people notice, and the appearance of the eyelids can significantly impact how rested and youthful you look. Sagging upper eyelids, puffiness or bags under the eyes, and excess skin can create a tired, aged, or even sad expression. In some cases, drooping upper eyelids can also impair vision. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a precise surgical procedure designed to address these concerns by removing excess skin, fat, and sometimes tightening underlying muscles to restore a refreshed, alert, and more youthful appearance to the eyes.

Upper and Lower Eyelid Rejuvenation

Blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on your individual needs and aesthetic goals.

• Upper Blepharoplasty: Addresses sagging skin that can droop over the eyelashes and sometimes interfere with vision. The procedure involves removing excess skin and fat through a discreet incision hidden in the natural crease of the upper eyelid.

• Lower Blepharoplasty: Targets puffiness and bags under the eyes caused by excess fat. The surgery can be performed with an incision just below the lower eyelashes or through a hidden incision inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival approach), minimizing visible scarring.

Our skilled surgeons in Antalya use advanced techniques to ensure natural-looking results that enhance your overall facial harmony without altering your fundamental appearance.

Key Benefits of Eyelid Surgery:

• Brighter, More Youthful-Looking Eyes: Eliminates droopiness and puffiness, making you appear more awake and revitalized.

• Improved Field of Vision: When excess upper eyelid skin obstructs vision, blepharoplasty can provide functional improvement.

• Enhanced Confidence: Looking more refreshed can lead to a significant boost in self-esteem and confidence.
