It is not resistant to wrinkles and abrasions. As the skin ages, it loses its elasticity. This decrease in flexibility, combined with the force of gravity, causes aging skin to sag. With factors such as advancing age, smoking, stress, complaints of wrinkles around the eyes, sagging of the upper eyelid, sagging of the lower eyelid, bags under the eyes and bruises under the eyes occur.
In case of increase in these complaints, which cause a tired, sleepless and old appearance, eyelid aesthetic operations are needed. The drooping of the upper eyelid or the progression of eye bag formation causes narrowing of our visual field. It is important to perform eye aesthetics by physicians who know the anatomical, nervous and vascular system structure of the eye best.
Before eyelid aesthetics, skin thickness, the amount of fat in the eyelids and muscle structure should be examined. Before planning a blepharoplasty, you should discuss your medical history and expectations by talking to a plastic surgeon who specializes in eye surgeries.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”14464″ img_size=”large”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”What is Blepharoplasty?”][vc_column_text]Blepharoplasty is an operation to remove excess skin and adipose tissue (remove bags under the eyes) on the lower and upper eyelids, which gives a tired and aged expression to a person.

There are many techniques in eyelid aesthetic surgeries.
First, the patient’s eye and oculoplastic examinations should be done in detail and the patient’s eye and lid functions should be evaluated. An experienced surgeon is well-versed in many different techniques, and because of the examination, s/he will be able to determine the most suitable technique for his patient and apply it. It is applied in the form of removing excess skin by making an incision on the upper eyelid in accordance with the natural eye fold.
With an incision made on the lower eyelid, just below the eyelashes, excess skin and adipose tissue are removed. The operation for blepharoplasty is performed under local anesthesia or intravenous sedation. According to the patient’s complaint, only the upper or lower eyelids or both are intervened. The process takes about 1 – 1.5 hours.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”After the Blepharoplasty Procedure”][vc_column_text]The early period after the blepharoplasty operation is usually comfortable. After surgery, some complications may occur temporarily. It is normal to have swelling and bruising around the eyes. Dryness and burning sensation in the eyes may occur. Tears may increase, the eyes may be disturbed by light, and the patient may not be able to fully close his/her eyes in the first days.

If you have pain in your eyelids, you can use the painkiller recommended by your doctor. After blepharoplasty surgery, hospitalization is usually not required, but the patient may be under the supervision of a doctor as a precaution. The stitches applied during the surgery are removed a week after the operation. In about 6-7 months, the incision scars on the eyelids become completely invisible.

Al Pacino has undergone several operations to reduce under-eye bags and sagging of the eyelids. Paris Hilton is said to have had an eye lift in 2006, but this procedure made her left eye more drooping than the right.It is known that she had another eye lift surgery to correct the inequality.
