Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat from the upper or lower eyelids. This treatment addresses both cosmetic and functional concerns, such as sagging eyelids that impair vision or under-eye bags that create a tired appearance.
At Nova Eye Clinic, we perform both upper and lower blepharoplasty procedures tailored to the unique needs of each patient.
You may be a suitable candidate for blepharoplasty if you:
A comprehensive consultation with Prof. Dr. Mustafa Ünal will determine if eyelid surgery is right for you.
Upper Eyelid Surgery: Removes excess skin and fat from the upper lids to improve vision and enhance appearance.
Lower Eyelid Surgery: Targets under-eye bags and loose skin, creating a smoother, refreshed look.
In some cases, blepharoplasty can be combined with ptosis correction if there is a drooping of the upper eyelid muscle affecting vision.
Blepharoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia, and in some cases, sedation may be used depending on the patient’s comfort and medical condition. The procedure takes about 1–2 hours, depending on whether both upper and lower lids are being treated. The steps include:
Preparation: The surgical area is marked and cleaned.
Incision: Small, well-placed incisions are made in the natural creases of the eyelids.
Tissue Removal or Repositioning: Excess skin, muscle, and fat are removed or repositioned.
Closure: Fine sutures are used to close the incisions.
Patients can usually return home the same day.
Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising for the first week. Stitches are typically removed within 5–7 days, although dissolvable sutures may be used depending on the case. You can expect to resume normal activities within 7–10 days and see final results within a few weeks.
