Blepharoplasty is the general term for the aesthetic corrections we perform on the eyelid. Eyelid aesthetic surgery is one of the most common surgical fields in oculoplastic surgery.
Excess skin on the upper eyelid, weakness in the muscles and connective tissue under the skin, forward herniation or sagging of the fat tissue, and ptosis of the lacrimal gland; sagging on the lower eyelid due to laxity, fat accumulation, excess skin, sunken areas between the eyelid and cheek, and weakness in the ligaments of the lower eyelid can all be addressed with blepharoplasty surgery.
It is important to determine, through a detailed examination, which of these procedures or a combination of them is necessary, and to carefully plan the most suitable surgery for the patient.
There are many techniques available in eyelid aesthetic surgery. First, a detailed ocular and oculoplastic examination of the patient should be performed, and the patient’s eyelid and eye functions should be evaluated.
An experienced surgeon is skilled in many different techniques and can identify and apply the most suitable technique for the patient based on the examination results.
Eyelid aesthetic surgery (Blepharoplasty) can be performed under local anesthesia, or it can also be done under sedation (a sleep state induced by intravenous medication) or general anesthesia, depending on the preference of the patient and the doctor.
After the final measurements and markings on the operating table are made with great care, local anesthesia injections are given to numb the surgical area and prevent bleeding. During this time, sedation is applied to ensure the patient does not feel the injections.
Blepharoplasty surgery can be performed using different techniques such as scalpel (steel knife),radiofrequency, electrocautery, or laser. After the removal of excess tissues, the extraction or repositioning of fat, the tightening of sagging tissues, and their placement back into position, the incisions are closed, and the surgery is completed.
Upper eyelid aesthetic surgery is often underestimated and perceived as just a simple skin removal and suturing. However, upper eyelid aesthetic surgery involves many detailed aspects, from the planning stage to the surgical technique.
The patient's problem should be thoroughly evaluated, and before surgery, it should be determined whether only the skin or both the skin and subcutaneous tissue will be removed. If subcutaneous tissue will be removed, the specific areas and the amount to be removed should be determined. The areas of fat herniation and sagging, the presence of any lacrimal gland ptosis, any actual eyelid ptosis (drooping),the presence of eyebrow ptosis that needs treatment, and any discomfort in the ocular surface and lash line should be evaluated in detail.
Once the detailed surgical plan is made for the patient, the level of the hidden incision and fold is carefully marked on the operating table, and the amount of excess skin is precisely measured. Carelessness at this stage can lead to significant problems such as scar formation or improper eyelid closure due to excessive skin removal. Then, the patient is sedated, and local anesthesia is applied. After sterile coloring and draping, the planned tissue removal is performed using the surgeon’s chosen cutting tool. At this stage, the surgeon’s experience plays a critical role in the aesthetic outcome of the surgery. Often, necessary sagging is not addressed, or unnecessary tissue is removed, leading to the need for further surgery.
If necessary, eyebrow ptosis, eyelid ptosis, and lacrimal gland sagging are also corrected simultaneously during the upper eyelid aesthetic surgery (blepharoplasty). Many patients do not get the full benefit of their blepharoplasty surgery because these necessary additions are not performed.
At the end of the blepharoplasty surgery, the planned incisions in the hidden fold are closed with aesthetic sutures. There is no need for the eyes to be closed or bandaged.
Lower eyelid aesthetic surgery is one of the most frequently performed and experience-intensive surgeries in oculoplastic surgery. The lower eyelid is a complex structure that connects with the cheek, and errors during surgery can lead to significant issues with the eye. Therefore, patients seeking this surgery should look for a surgeon with considerable expertise in this area.
Lower eyelid aesthetic surgeries are typically requested due to sagging, bags, dark circles, and a tired appearance around the eyes. Before the surgery, a detailed assessment should be made to determine the source of the bags, any laxity in the structures that stabilize the lower eyelid, the eyelid-eye relationship, any discomfort in the eyelash line, and the condition of the lacrimal drainage system that starts from the inner corner of the lower eyelid.
After the evaluation, the most suitable technique is planned for the patient, and the details are shared with the patient.
The removal or repositioning of fat bags that cause distortion in the lower eyelid is preferably done through an incision inside the eyelid (from the pink tissue called the conjunctiva). In some suitable patients, an incision made just below the eyelash line can also yield good results, but careful attention must be paid to important details.
According to the pre-surgical plan, the surgeon decides which of the three adjacent fat tissues in each eyelid will be addressed and how much fat will be repositioned during the surgery. In some patients, shaping without any fat removal and transferring the fat into the hollows between the eyelid and cheek can permanently eliminate the bags and circles.
Excess skin is the mildest problem in lower eyelid aesthetics, and the skin should be removed as minimally as possible or not touched at all. Lower eyelid aesthetic surgery is sometimes mistakenly thought to be just about skin removal, and unnecessary skin removal can result in the main problem not being addressed, as well as functional and aesthetic problems such as the lower eyelid turning outward or sagging, causing significant damage to the eye surface.
The laxity of the eyelid ligaments should definitely be identified beforehand, and necessary freeing and tightening procedures should be performed at the final stage of the surgery. Often, lifting of the cheek fat tissue or mid-face lift is necessary, and these procedures ensure perfect harmony in the eyelid-cheek transition, preventing the eyelid from moving away from the eye, curling outward, or sagging down after surgery.
With the surgeon's experience, the outer corner of the eyelid is positioned slightly higher than planned for the long term, ensuring that it settles into the ideal position two weeks after the surgery. There are many alternative methods for this procedure. If the eyelid has become elongated due to aging, shortening can be performed, and in patients who do not have this issue, the outer corner can be lifted and supported with special techniques without any incision.
Lower eyelid aesthetic surgery is typically performed without an external skin incision and using hidden incisions, so there will be no visible scars. There is no need for the eyes to be closed or bandaged after surgery.
Eyelid aesthetic surgery is not a single procedure; there are many surgical techniques and combinations tailored to each individual. In some patients, a small intervention lasting half an hour may be sufficient, while in others, detailed surgeries that can take 2-3 hours may be required. Therefore, the price of blepharoplasty surgery can only be determined on an individual basis after a detailed evaluation.
After eyelid aesthetic surgery, an antibiotic ointment and ice are applied to the surgical area, and the patient is monitored in their room for 2-3 hours. There is no need to close or bandage the eyes. If no problems are observed, the patient is discharged on the same day, and intermittent ice application is recommended for 48-72 hours.
It is recommended to apply antibiotic eye ointment to the incision site in the morning and evening for up to one week. Swelling and bruising are normal and can last from 1-2 days to 1-2 weeks, depending on the patient's constitution and the type of surgery. The speed and smoothness of recovery also depend on the rest and activity restrictions in the first 2-3 days, so it is advised to avoid bending forward, lifting weights, or taking long walks during the first few days.
For the first 4-5 days, it is appropriate for the incision sites not to come into contact with water. Stitches are removed on the 6th or 7th day, and no special treatment is required afterwards. After 4-6 weeks, the incision will become redder and more tense, after which a rapid remodeling phase begins. The already indistinct scars will disappear within a few weeks.
It is recommended to avoid swimming in the sea or pool and heavy sports for the first 2 weeks. If heavy activities are gradually increased starting from the 10th day, the recovery will be better. Under normal circumstances, patients can return to desk jobs after the 3rd day and to more active jobs after the first week.
There are many techniques for eyelid aesthetic surgery. A skilled surgeon will perform the surgery with minimal or hidden incisions, so the likelihood of scarring is either non-existent or very minimal.
However, some factors, such as genetic skin types, certain systemic diseases, medications used, excessive UV exposure, smoking, and trauma to the incision site, can affect the formation of scars, so these factors should be carefully evaluated before and after surgery.
There is no specific age limit for blepharoplasty (eyelid aesthetic surgery), but it is not suitable to perform the surgery before the age of 18-20, as facial development and mental maturity are not yet complete.
Since surgery is usually performed due to genetic issues, even individuals in their twenties can undergo surgery if their eyelids cause problems, especially regarding vision or eye health. The ideal age for eyelid aesthetic surgery is when the patient finds the problem bothersome.
For lighter eyelid aesthetic problems that do not require surgery, in patients who are not yet willing to undergo surgery, or in patients who have already had surgeries and are not suitable for further surgeries due to age and anatomy, there are non-surgical eyelid treatments available. After evaluating the patient's condition, it can be decided which type of treatment would be appropriate, such as botulinum toxin, fillers, mesotherapy, and device-based procedures.
With a precise botulinum toxin application, it is possible to smooth lines, shape the eyebrows, and lift the eyelids slightly. It is also beneficial for the faster healing of surgical incisions and for supporting eyebrow lift surgeries.
Filler applications around the eyes offer many alternatives in eyelid aesthetics. These include eyebrow lifting, filling the sunken areas on the upper eyelid, and filling the hollows under the eyes. In cases where surgery is not needed for lower eyelid puffiness, fillers made with the correct technique and material can be very effective in eliminating dark circles and tired-looking eyes.
For upper eyelids that have sunken areas due to unnecessary fat removal during surgery, or for deep upper eyelids due to trauma or hereditary reasons, filler applications around the eyes can provide an effective solution.
Mesotherapy applications targeting dark color changes, pigmentation, and wrinkles around the eyes are effective for carefully selected patients and can provide a non-surgical option for eyelid aesthetics. Often, these procedures can be combined with surgery.
Device-based applications in eyelid aesthetics are also methods that can be used for suitable patients. Among these applications, plasma treatments, which are often mistakenly marketed as laser treatments, do not have an effective eyelid aesthetic or lid-lifting ability for everyone and under all conditions, as advertised. However, for carefully selected patients, they can provide skin tightening and wrinkle reduction effects for 1-2 years.
They are not effective for puffiness or true eyelid ptosis (drooping). These treatments are valuable for those who are afraid of surgery or have conditions that do not necessarily require surgery. Another new technology in this field is bipolar radiofrequency devices, which can be useful for skin, subcutaneous tissue, and partial fat tightening in patients who do not have severe puffiness and do not require surgery.
Both of these devices available at our clinic can provide promising results with correct patient selection. Although these procedures may require local or topical anesthesia and may have a swelling period similar to surgery, they have advantages over surgery in terms of not involving skin incisions, sutures, or bruising.
