- EYELID AESTHETIC
We remove sagging skin and bags on your upper and lower eyelids. Your tired gaze is replaced by a rested face. Most of the time it takes an hour or two to do these and you can go home right away.
For best results, laser skin peeling, eyebrow lifting or temple lifting may sometimes be required. Remember that separate and personalized planning is required for everyone.
Every year, 100,000 men and women around the world have eyelid surgery to change their appearance. Drooping eyelids make you look older than you are and restrict your visual field. While eyelid aesthetics, or blepharoplasty as it is known in medical language, eliminates these problems, it also removes under-eye fat and skin bags that make you look sad or tired. This intervention is not effective on circles and wrinkles around the eyes, nor can it correct drooping eyebrows. Although eyelid plastic surgeries are often performed alone, your plastic surgeon may also recommend additional interventions such as eyebrow lift, face lift or skin rejuvenation for a more successful result.
If you are wondering how eyelid aesthetics can change your appearance, you should have information about how this procedure is performed.
For successful aesthetics, the plastic surgeon and the patient must understand each other very well. Realistic expectations and trust based on the plastic surgeon’s knowledge and experience of the subject should be established at the first meeting. Your surgeon should be able to give satisfactory answers to questions about the details you expect from eyelid aesthetics.
Am I a Good Candidate for Eyelid Aesthetics?
As with all plastic surgeries, it is essential to have no health problems and to have realistic expectations. Blepharoplasty removes excess fat bags, muscles and skin from the lower and upper eyelids. As a result, you can achieve a more vibrant and rejuvenated appearance.
While planning the procedure, the plastic surgeon may also recommend additional procedures such as lifting droopy eyebrows, stretching your forehead, and refreshing the skin for wrinkles around the eyes.
Whether the surgical intervention to be performed is functional or cosmetic, the choice of your plastic surgeon is very important. The patient should also carefully follow the plastic surgeon’s warnings before and after the surgery.
During the pre-operative examination, you will be asked questions about your eyesight, dry eyes, your use of contact lenses and your wishes. Your plastic surgeon will explain to you what he expects from the blepharoplasty and will question your medical history. Your age, skin structure, racial characteristics and narrowing of your visual field will be important factors. Moreover, this first examination will ensure an honest exchange of information between you and your plastic surgeon for a successful outcome.
After your procedure is planned, your surgeon will give you information about anesthesia, the hospital and the budget of the surgery, and explain the risks of the surgery.
In the upper eyelid, the plastic surgeon first determines the natural lines and folds so that the scars can be hidden. After the incision is made, fat bags, excess muscle and sagging skin are removed. Closure is provided with elegant and fine stitches to minimize scars.
The incision is made immediately at the base of the eyelashes on the lower eyelid and the scars are hidden. Fat pockets, excess muscle and skin are removed and closure is achieved with very thin and elegant stitches. If the problem in the eye is only fat bags, the incision can be made through the lower eyelid. Under normal conditions, the surgery takes one to two hours.
When the surgery is completed, eye ointment is applied to the suture lines and cold compresses are applied. Drops that prevent dry eyes can be used. Post-operative swelling and bruising will occur to some degree. Keeping the head elevated and using cold compresses will accelerate healing and increase comfort.
There may be tearing and stinging sensation in the eyes for a week. You can clean the eye area and use recommended drops and eye ointments. Your plastic surgeon will inform you about your physical activity and environmental conditions during this week. Stitches are removed within 4-5 days.
Facial plastic surgery procedures will help you regain your self-confidence and correct the signs of premature aging on your face.
Your health insurance does not cover aesthetic procedures on the eyelids. However, conditions that limit vision, deformities or injuries to the eyelids may be fully or partially covered by your health insurance.
People who have had eyelid surgery before and had unsuccessful results should not be upset; Corrective actions can always be taken for a better outcome.
