What is a Eyelid Lift Surgery?

A procedure called blepharoplasty involves removing extra skin from the eyelids. Eyelids stretch as we age and the muscles that support them weaken. Because of this, extra skin and fat may accumulate above and below your eyelids. This may result in droopy upper lids, sagging brows, and bags beneath the eyes.

Along with getting older, significantly drooping skin around the eyes can impair side vision, particularly in the upper and outer visual fields. These eyesight issues can be eliminated or reduced with blepharoplasty. Additionally, the procedure might give eyes a younger, fresher appearance.

What types of eyelid lift surgeries are there?

1- Upper eyelid lift in Turkey

Upper eyelid blepharoplasty is a wonderful solution for people who deal with excessive upper eyelid skin. Those who have protruding fat pads in their upper lids can benefit from this surgery as well.

A surgical technique called an upper eyelid blepharoplasty involves the excision of extra skin, fat, and, on rare occasions, the "orbicularis oculi," a thin strip of muscle.

Fat and/or muscle removal gets rid of the additional mass that drags the eyelid down. Most of the time, bulging fat pads can be eliminated without removing the skin.

Excess top eyelid skin can make a patient appear tired and put strain on their eyelids, making it harder for them to keep their eyes open.

2- Lower Eyelid Lift in Turkey

In order to reduce bags and loose skin in the lower eyelid, a procedure known as a lower eyelid blepharoplasty is performed. Because lower eyelid blepharoplasty is nearly usually cosmetic, insurance rarely, if ever, pays for it.

The excess fat, skin, and muscle that may be contributing to the appearance of dark circles, wrinkles, and/or puffiness are removed during this operation.

The lower eyelids are tightened and repositioned during this treatment, giving the face a more contoured appearance.

In order to do a lower eyelid blepharoplasty, a small incision must be made along the lower lids, either inside the lid or slightly outside the lash line. The removal or repositioning of fat and extra tissue occurs through this tiny incision.

3- Double Eyelid Lift in Turkey

This is the most common type of eyelid lift surgery. It combines lower and upper eyelid operation. Giving you a full eyelid lift.

What are the benefits of Eyelid Lift Operation?

A less tired look

Eyelid heaviness and the development of eye bags often give patients a run-down, exhausted appearance, which is a major reason why they want to get eyelid surgery. Additionally, sagging eyelids can give the idea that the eyes are partially closed, which naturally contributes to the worn, sleepy expression.

Patients who have blepharoplasty surgery are typically pleased with the results, with many remarking on how rested and renewed they appear compared to previously.

Confidence booster

Eyelid surgery may be the answer if your appearance makes you feel self-conscious and you are usually not too content with the appearance of your eyes. Many patients claim that having blepharoplasty surgery changed their lives, leaving them happier and more self-assured.

A more youthful and young look

To look younger is a popular motivation for people to get blepharoplasty surgery. Because the skin's elastic fibers are lost and our collagen levels decline with age, the skin on our eyelids is sometimes one of the first locations where we detect the indications of aging. Due to increased skin sagging and drooping as a result, we may look to be older than we actually are.

While everyone experiences this as a natural part of aging, some people may be more prone to sagging or droopy eyelids, which can cause issues early on and worsen with age. An upper blepharoplasty treatment, frequently performed in conjunction with ptosis surgery, can be a very efficient technique to address the condition and make a person look younger and more refreshed.

Fixing visual impairments

Some people may experience vision issues as a result of sagging top eyelid skin because it might block their field of vision, making it challenging to go about their daily activities.

Blepharoplasty is not only a cosmetic operation; it also serves a practical purpose by removing the blockage and enhancing eyesight.

Permanent improvments

Blepharoplasty offers a long-lasting remedy for weary eyes, unlike many other cosmetic treatments and anti-aging medications. The majority of patients won't feel the need to return for a second surgery because the results are long-lasting.

Obviously, aging will continue, and each person's outcomes will be unique, but for the majority of people, a well-done blepharoplasty treatment should last between 10-15 years.

Less scarring

Blepharoplasty's little perceptible scarring is one of the procedure's main advantages, especially when compared to various other facial cosmetic treatments. The scarring is minimal in both upper and lower eyelid surgery, and the incisions are skillfully concealed in the skin's natural creases and beneath the lash line.

Most patients do not have any issues with the little scar that normally extends a few millimeters into the area around the eyes (crow's feet area), and most people do not even notice it. 

More enjoyable social interactions

Your eyelids may be to blame if someone has ever commented that you appear unhappy even when you are not.

Making a frown includes squinting your eyes. Unfortunately, the similar cosmetic result occurs when the skin above your eyelids sags so much that it makes your eyes appear smaller.

When you stop having a "angry resting face," you might be amazed at how much of a change you'll notice in your social interactions.

People will approach you in a more upbeat manner because they will perceive you as being friendlier and more enthusiastic.

Removing wrinkles from around your eyes 

Botox can be used to alleviate wrinkles around the eyes temporarily, but surgery can decrease the muscles that generate these creases, making them less noticeable. The advantages are immediate. There is no need for Botox because the wrinkles are eliminated permanently. 

Getting rid of under-eye bags and dark circles

Three causes might coexist to cause dark circles under the eyes. The 'darkness' behind the eye is caused by shrinkage of pigmented eyelid skin, an excess of eyelid fat that frequently bulges, and loss of bone and soft tissue volume of the face beneath the eye. Surgery can restore lost bone and soft tissue volume, shape fat, redistribute excess fat, and remove extra skin.

Can remove the tear troughs and grooves on the cheeks and eyelids

As we age, the strong ligaments that connect skin to bone become increasingly apparent. This makes the grooves more noticeable and makes the bulges around them appear larger. In addition to repositioning fat and restoring volume, eyelid surgery can precisely release these ligaments. This guarantees that the lower eyelid and mid cheek will have an attractive contour.

How is an Eyelift Surgery in Turkey done?
