Blepharoplasty Surgery Procedure in Turkey: Step by Step

Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids to create a youthful and refreshed appearance.

✔ Eliminates sagging eyelids & under-eye bags
✔ Enhances vision by removing excess upper eyelid skin
✔ Reduces puffiness for a more youthful look
✔ Performed by internationally certified plastic surgeons in Turkey at an affordable price

💡 Turkey is a leading destination for high-quality and affordable blepharoplasty surgery!

Step 1: Pre-Surgery Consultation & Assessment

📌 Before your surgery, your surgeon will evaluate your eye structure, medical history, and aesthetic goals.

✔ A detailed consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon
✔ Assessment of eyelid skin elasticity, fat deposits & muscle laxity
✔ Discussing the best technique (upper/lower blepharoplasty, laser-assisted, or transconjunctival method)
✔ Medical tests (blood tests, eye examination, and overall health check-up)

💡 Your surgeon will customize the procedure based on your facial features and expectations.

Step 2: Preparing for Surgery

📌 Your surgeon will provide pre-surgery instructions to ensure a smooth procedure and recovery.

✔ Stop smoking & alcohol at least 2-4 weeks before surgery (to promote healing)
✔ Avoid blood thinners & certain medications (aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, fish oil)
✔ Follow a healthy diet and stay hydrated
✔ Arrange travel & accommodation in Turkey (if coming from abroad)
✔ Do not eat or drink anything 6-8 hours before surgery (if under general anesthesia)

💡 Following these steps helps minimize complications and speed up recovery.

Step 3: Anesthesia & Incision Placement

📌 Blepharoplasty can be performed under local anesthesia (with sedation) or general anesthesia.

✔ Step 1: Anesthesia is administered (local or general, based on procedure complexity).
✔ Step 2: Incisions are carefully made in natural creases of the eyelids to avoid visible scarring.
✔ Step 3: The placement of the incision depends on whether you’re undergoing upper, lower, or double blepharoplasty.

Procedure Type	Incision Placement
Upper Blepharoplasty	Incision in the natural crease of the upper eyelid
Lower Blepharoplasty	Incision just below the lower lash line OR inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival)
Laser Blepharoplasty	No visible incisions; uses laser technology for precise fat & skin removal

💡 Your surgeon will use the most advanced techniques to minimize scarring and enhance results.

Step 4: Removal or Repositioning of Excess Skin, Fat & Muscle

📌 During the surgery, excess tissue is removed or repositioned to create a more youthful and natural appearance.

✔ Step 1: Excess skin, fat, and muscle are carefully removed or reshaped.
✔ Step 2: For lower blepharoplasty, fat repositioning may be performed to smooth under-eye hollows.
✔ Step 3: In laser-assisted blepharoplasty, laser energy tightens the skin and removes fat without cutting.

💡 The goal is to enhance natural eye contours while maintaining a youthful, well-rested look.

Step 5: Closing the Incisions & Finishing the Procedure

📌 The incisions are closed using fine sutures for minimal scarring.

✔ Step 1: Dissolvable or removable stitches are used to close the incisions.
✔ Step 2: A mild antibiotic ointment is applied to prevent infection.
✔ Step 3: A cold compress is placed to reduce swelling and bruising.
✔ Step 4: Patients are monitored for a few hours before discharge.

💡 Most patients can go home the same day after surgery.

Step 6: Post-Surgery Recovery & Healing

📌 Healing begins immediately after surgery, with most swelling and bruising fading within 10 days.

✔ Swelling & bruising peak on days 2-3, then start to subside
✔ Cold compresses help reduce swelling in the first 48 hours
✔ Sleeping with your head elevated speeds up recovery
✔ Avoid wearing contact lenses for at least 2 weeks
✔ Avoid strenuous activities & bending over for 2-3 weeks
✔ Use prescribed eye drops & pain medication for comfort

💡 Most patients return to normal activities within 7-10 days.

Step 7: Final Results & Follow-Up Appointments

📌 Final results are visible within 3-6 months as the swelling fully disappears.

✔ Stitches (if non-dissolvable) are removed within 5-7 days
✔ Mild redness & tightness fade over a few weeks
✔ Follow-up consultations ensure proper healing
✔ Scars fade over time and become almost invisible

💡 Most patients look refreshed, younger, and well-rested after full recovery.
