Eyelid Aesthetics (Blepharoplasty) – Bursa Eyelid Aesthetics

The secret of a young and vigorous look
The eyes are the most prominent and striking part of the facial expression. However, with time, aging, gravity, environmental factors and genetic factors, sagging, bagging and wrinkles occur around the eyes. This situation can give the person a tired, unhappy and old appearance. Eyelid aesthetics is a surgical procedure applied to eliminate these problems and obtain a younger, lively expression.

What is eyelid aesthetics?

Eyelid aesthetics, medically known as blepharoplasty, is an aesthetic surgery method that aims to reshape the eye area by removing the excess skin, fat and muscle tissue formed in the lower and/or upper eyelids. This procedure can be applied not only for aesthetic reasons, but also for functional disorders such as severe sagging that narrows the visual field.

Upper eyelid aesthetics

Upper eyelid aesthetics involves removing excess skin that loosens and sagging with age. During this process, sometimes the muscle and fat tissue under it are also shaped. If the sagging is advanced, the upper eyelid may restrict the field of vision. Blepharoplasty provides both aesthetic and functional benefits by eliminating this problem.

Lower eyelid aesthetics

Complaints such as bagging, loosening and wrinkles are usually seen on the lower eyelid. These bags are caused by the hernia of the under-eye fat tissues. Excess fat tissue can be removed in the lower eyelid aesthetics or a more uniform contour can be obtained by repositioning. At the same time, excess skin and wrinkles are removed.

Who is suitable for eyelid aesthetics?

Eyelid aesthetics is usually applied to people aged 35 and over. However, due to genetic predisposition, it may also be needed at younger ages. Eligible candidates are:

– Pronounced sagging of the upper eyelids

– Those who experience bagging and swelling under the eyes

– Those who form a tired and aged expression around the eyes

– Those who are in good general health and do not have a serious eye disease

Operation process

Preparation
Before the operation, the patient undergoes a detailed eye and face examination. Eye structure, skin thickness, fat distribution and general health status are evaluated. Blood thinners should be discontinued before the operation.

Operation
Blepharoplasty can be performed under local anesthesia or with sedation-supported local anesthesia. In some cases, general anesthesia is preferred. The incision in the upper eyelid is made from the natural folding line. In the lower eyelid, an incision is made from under the eyelashes or from the inside of the eye (transconjunctival method). The operation time usually takes 1-2 hours.

Healing Process
Edema, bruises and mild pains that last for a few days can be seen after the operation. Eyes should be protected, ice compresses and drops recommended by the doctor should be used. After 5-7 days, the stitches are removed. Heavy physical activities should be avoided during the healing process. Results usually become evident within 1 month.
