What is Lower Eyelid Surgery?

Lower eyelid aesthetics are usually carried out to eliminate the appearance of aging skin. In the early stages, filling or intensive injection is sufficient. Especially the downward direction of cheek tissue after a certain age is accompanied with the sagging of the lower eyelids. Even if the cheek tissue is replaced to where it should be with plastic surgery, lower eyelid aesthetic surgery is needed. The lower eyelids are freed of loose skin to reduce under-eye bags if necessary. This surgery is carried out by applying an incision from under the eyelashes. The eyelid skin is separated from the muscle and lifted over the muscle. After the excess skin and muscle is eliminated, the muscle is suspended on the outer wall of the eye socket area. Lower eyelid surgery can be carried out together with a midface lift procedure to achieve better results.

What is Upper Eyelid Surgery?

Botox is usually applied before upper eyelid aesthetics. Thus, the degree of looseness of the eyelids can be assessed more clearly. If sagging or looseness is detected, a decision in favor of upper eyelid aesthetic surgery is taken. This surgery is performed with local anesthesia and sedation. It can be completed in approximately 30 minutes, but in rare cases the duration of the surgery can last up to 2 hours. Before surgery, the patient’s upper eyelid is drawn and any skin removal is decided. During surgery, the skin and muscle tissue previously determined is removed and a smooth eyelid appearance is achieved. Most patients do not require a procedure for under-eye bags. However, some patients with prominent under-eye bags may need some reduction during surgery.
