Blepharoplasty

Duration of hospitalization: at least one day

Eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty is a surgery to improve the appearance of the eyelids. This surgery can be performed on both upper and lower eyelids or only one of them. Blepharoplasty is used both to beautify the areas around the eyes and to treat functional problems of the eyelid. Today we want to talk about different aspects of eyelid surgery; From its uses to costs and side effects.

Eyelid surgery is the removal of excess skin and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelid caused by aging, and as a result, removes wrinkles and prevents drooping of the eyelid.
Eyes are the most important elements of facial beauty and blepharoplasty is one of the best ways to rejuvenate the areas around the eyes.
This operation does not require hospitalization and can also be performed using local anesthesia if needed.
Post-operative complications usually resolve within a few days, and the full recovery period is a few weeks.
In general, eyelid surgery is safe and less complicated if it is performed by a skilled doctor and in a reputable center.
What is eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)?

The main reason for many applicants for eyelid surgery is drooping and excess skin of the eyelids. This surgery can tighten and lift the skin around the eyes and give your face a more attractive, younger and alert look. Sometimes, blepharoplasty is used to remove visual obstacles caused by drooping eyelids. In the treatment process, excess skin, muscles and sometimes fat tissue are removed from the upper and lower eyelid areas. Sometimes only excess skin is removed from the eyelid.

Of course, upper eyelid blepharoplasty, sometimes called eyelid lift, should not be confused with eyelid drooping surgery (ptosis surgery). In drooping eyelid surgery, the muscles and tendons of the upper eyelid, which are responsible for keeping the eyelid up, are tightened to fix the problem. Blepharoplasty is used to correct drooping eyelids when excess skin has caused the eyelid to become heavy and droop. So these two surgeries are different from each other, but both can fix drooping eyelids.
