Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Refresh and open the eyes — one of Turkey's most popular facial procedures

Overview

Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in Turkey for both domestic and international patients. Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin that hoods over the eye, while lower blepharoplasty addresses under-eye bags and dark hollows. The results are striking, natural, and long-lasting — and the procedure carries a relatively simple recovery compared to more invasive facial surgeries.

Key Benefits

✓Opens and brightens the eye area
✓Removes hooded skin that can impair vision
✓Eliminates under-eye bags and puffiness
✓Natural, well-rested appearance
✓Can be performed under local anaesthetic
✓Fast recovery relative to other facial procedures

Procedure Options

Upper Blepharoplasty

Removes excess skin and sometimes fat from the upper eyelid. Can improve vision as well as aesthetics.

Lower Blepharoplasty

Addresses under-eye bags and loose skin of the lower lid — transconjunctival (no external scar) or subciliary approach.

Upper + Lower (Four-lid)

Both upper and lower lids addressed in one session for comprehensive eye rejuvenation.

Blepharoplasty + Brow Lift

Combined approach when a drooping brow contributes to eyelid heaviness.

What to Expect

Upper blepharoplasty takes 45–90 minutes under local anaesthetic. Lower or combined procedures may use sedation or general anaesthesia. Bruising and swelling peak at days 2–3. Sutures removed at 5–7 days. Presentable in public within 10–14 days.

Recovery Timeline

5–7 days in Turkey. 10–14 days before social events. Scars fade over 3–6 months.
