Eyelid Aesthetics

SURGERY NAME: EYELID AESTHETICS

OPERATION TECHNIQUES:

Upper eyelid aesthetics: After the patient’s skin excision (removal), the eye bags are removed if necessary. Eye bags herniate outward after the membrane called septum weakens behind the muscle. It gives your eyelids a swollen look. If there is hypertrophy in the muscle structure, these parts are removed. If there is no excess, the muscle structure is sutured on top of each other and muscle-sparing surgery is performed. For our patients who have problems lifting the eyelid, the muscle structure that lifts the eye in the most posterior structure of the eye is repaired. By sewing this muscle to the eyelid skeleton (tars), the eye opening movement is sufficiently provided.

Lower eyelid aesthetics: It can be performed through the eyelid or through an incision under the eyelashes. Patients with excess skin are more suitable for an incision under the eyelashes. At the same time, under-eye fat bags are transferred to the under-eye groove to reduce the hollowness under the eyes. For patients who suffer only from eye bags, the bags are removed by entering through the lid.

If necessary, the midface can be lifted upwards with these operations.

TYPE OF ANESTHESIA: General, Local anesthesia

PATIENT’S REQUESTS OR COMPLAINTS:

HOSPITALIZATION PERIOD: Our patients who undergo upper eyelid surgery can return home on the same day. Patients undergoing upper and lower eyelid surgery stay in the hospital for 1 day as general anesthesia will be performed.

RECOVERY PROCESS

• Desk work is not recommended for 1-2 days and bending forward is not recommended for 1 week.
• After 2 days you can take a bath.
• We do not expect excessive edema and bruising.
• Returning to daily activities and self-support can be done on the same day
• The upper eyelid takes 45 minutes and the lower upper eyelid takes 2.5 hours.

SITUATIONS TO WATCH OUT FOR

• The scars are very difficult to notice as they are located in the upper eyelid fold and under the lower eyelid eyelashes.
• Blood thinners should be stopped 3 hours before the operation.
• Under-eye bruising may occur after the upper eyelid. Edema and swelling on the face of patients with lower eyelid aesthetics last longer.
• After these procedures, the white part of the eye (sclera) may temporarily become more visible. If necessary, the patient can use artificial tears for dry eyes.
