Understanding Blepharoplasty
Eyelid surgery, medically known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to correct drooping eyelids, excess skin, puffiness, and under-eye bags. It can be applied to the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both.
Blepharoplasty improves the appearance of tired or aged eyes and, in some cases, enhances visual function when sagging upper eyelids obstruct vision.
This procedure is popular among patients seeking a subtle yet powerful facial rejuvenation with minimal scarring and long-lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is eyelid surgery painful?expand_more
Discomfort is minimal and easily managed with medication. During the procedure, you'll be under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, so you won't feel anything. After surgery, any discomfort is managed effectively with prescribed pain medications to ensure a comfortable recovery.
How long should I stay in Turkey?expand_more
5–7 days is recommended. This allows time for the surgery, initial recovery, suture removal, post-operative check-ups, and ensures you're cleared by your surgeon before traveling home.
Will there be visible scars?expand_more
Scars are minimal and hidden in natural eyelid folds. Incisions are strategically placed within the natural contours of your eyelids, ensuring they become virtually invisible over time as they heal.
Are results permanent?expand_more
Results last many years; aging continues naturally. While eyelid surgery provides long-lasting rejuvenation, natural aging will continue. The procedure effectively turns back the clock, and results typically last for many years, after which you may choose to have a revision procedure if desired.
When can I fly back?expand_more
Usually after 5–7 days. Your surgeon will conduct a final check-up, remove sutures, and assess your recovery progress. Once cleared, typically around 5–7 days after surgery, you'll receive approval to travel home safely.
