We say “the eyes are the mirror of the soul,” but unfortunately, signs of aging, fatigue, and stress are the first to shadow this mirror. The skin around the eyes is the thinnest and most sensitive skin in our body. Over the years, gravity, loss of collagen, and genetic factors lead to sagging in the upper eyelids and bagging in the lower eyelids.
Regardless of how energetic a person feels, this condition causes them to look “sad, sleep-deprived, and old” to the outside world. In advanced cases, upper eyelid sagging (dermatochalasis) can even turn into a health problem by narrowing the field of vision.
Dr. Andan Clinic lifts that weight off your gaze with Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Aesthetics) and grants you a brighter, more youthful expression.
Eyelid aesthetics is one of the procedures among face rejuvenation operations with the highest patient satisfaction and where the result is noticed most dramatically. With a small surgical touch, the entire facial expression is refreshed. The operation can be planned for upper and lower eyelids separately or in combination.
Upper eyelid aesthetics is an extremely comfortable procedure that takes about 45 minutes and can usually be performed under local anesthesia. The goal is to remove the excess skin weighing down on the eye and, if present, herniated fat tissue.
The most important aspect of this surgery is the precise planning by Dr. Andan Clinic surgeons. The amount of skin to be removed must be calculated millimetrically; excessive removal prevents the eye from closing, while insufficient removal makes the result inadequate. The incision is hidden in the natural fold (crease) of the eyelid.
Once healing is complete, this scar is absolutely invisible when the eye is open and becomes a faint line when closed. After the surgery, our patients can apply makeup more easily and look at the world more clearly with their expanded viewing angles.
The main problems in the lower eyelid are bagging (herniation of fat pads), hollows in the tear trough, and skin laxity. This situation makes the person look chronically tired. Lower blepharoplasty involves more technical details compared to the upper lid.
Techniques used at Dr. Andan Clinic:
Transconjunctival Approach (Scarless): If there is only bagging and no skin excess (usually in younger patients), fat is removed or redistributed by entering through the inside of the eyelid. There are no external sutures or scars.
Subciliary Approach: If there is also skin excess and sagging, an incision is made 1–2 mm just below the eyelashes to remove excess skin and tighten the muscle tissue. The scar is hidden at the base of the lashes.
Lower eyelid aesthetics is frequently combined with a Midface Lift or fat injection to smooth the transition between the cheek and the under-eye.
Eye aesthetics is not just about removing signs of aging; sometimes it is about making the eye shape more attractive. The most popular trend of recent years, Almond Eye Aesthetics (Canthopexy), is the process of slightly suspending the outer corner of the eye (canthus) upward and outward. This procedure gives the eye a more exotic and slanted expression.
Furthermore, if drooping eyelids are accompanied by drooping eyebrows, taking only the lid skin may not be enough. Dr. Andan Clinic displays a holistic approach, including Brow Lift or Temporal Lift procedures in the process when necessary.
Blepharoplasty is a low-risk but high-impact rejuvenation tool. You can trust the expertise of Dr. Andan Clinic to rescue the sparkle in your eyes from behind the curtains and achieve a more vigorous and vibrant appearance. It is possible to return to 10 years ago with a 1-hour procedure.
Wherever surgery is performed, scars will remain, but in plastic surgery, the aim is to conceal these scars. On the upper eyelid, the scar is concealed within the natural crease, and on the lower eyelid, it is concealed at the base of the eyelashes. As the eyelid skin is the thinnest and best healing skin on the body, within 6-12 months, the scars will take on the colour of the skin and become almost imperceptible.
No, this procedure is not performed on the eyeball (the organ of sight) but on the eyelids that protect it. It does not damage the sense of sight. On the contrary, if the drooping skin is covering the field of vision, the field of vision will widen after the operation.
Swelling and bruising around the eyes may occur for the first 2-3 days, which is normal. This will quickly subside with the application of ice. Stitches are usually removed on the 5th to 7th day. The patient can return to work and social life after 3-4 days, wearing sunglasses.
The skin and fat tissue that are removed will not return. Upper eyelid aesthetics maintain their permanence for an average of 10-15 years. The risk of recurrence of the bags removed from the lower eyelid is very low. However, as the ageing process continues, some loosening of the skin may occur years later.
No. Eyelid aesthetics (Dermatochalasis) involves removing excess skin. Ptosis, on the other hand, is the weakening of the muscle that lifts the eyelid, causing the pupil to close (sleepy look). If the patient has ptosis, the muscle should also be shortened (Levator Surgery) during cosmetic surgery. Dr. Andan Clinic identifies this distinction during the examination.
