BLEPHAROPLASTY STAGES

There are a few methods for Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Lift). Although there are some outpatient surgeries as well, at Turkeyana Clinic, we use the surgical technique since it gives certain results with higher success rates. The blepharoplasty (Eyelid Lift) surgery procedure has three simple stages:

1. Anesthesia: It ensures the patient is comfortable and feels no pain during the operation. The patient is given either general or local anesthesia. Usually, the plastic surgeon chooses the best type of anesthesia that fits the patient.
2. Surgical incision: In general, the incision lines are planned accurately so that the scars can be hidden within the natural lines of the eyelid. For the upper eyelid, the doctor tightens it by making a surgical incision within the natural lines of the eyelid, removing or repositioning the excess fat under the skin, tightening the muscles, and getting rid of the sagging eyelid skin. The incision is made under the lower lash line for the lower eyelid to remove or reposition the fat consistently.

Incision closing: After the removing excess skin process is over, the surgeon closes the incision. The incision is closed by stitches, then removed after one week.
