What is Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid Surgery (blepharoplasty procedure) removes fatty deposits and muscle tissue around the eyes, removing an excess layer or portion of the skin around your lids that causes droopiness. A licensed plastic surgeon for lower and upper eyelid surgery performs this. This may involve cutting out a small number of muscles or fat, depending on the composition of the eyes.

Eyelid surgery is not considered a major surgery that will require extended downtime and hinder you from returning to work as soon as the healing process is over. The reasons to get this surgery include resolving issues of bags under the eyes, enhancing both the lower and upper eyelids, fixing sagging skin above the eyes, and giving you a fuller and more youthful look. 

How do I Know I Need Eyelid Surgery?

As the skin on your body ages, it loses its elasticity. The absence of elasticity and the continuous pull from gravity causes surplus skin to collect on both the upper and lower eyelids. This causes bulges and wrinkles. On the upper eyelids, any added fold of skin can hang over the eyelashes and get in the way of seeing.  Bulges can also be formed on the top and bottom of the eyes, holding fat in place, and as we age, this gets weakened and starts to lean forward.

Saggy skin around your eyes can also affect your vision. This is called an impairment in your peripheral vision and tends to affect those 50 or older.

In both cases, a simple cosmetic procedure can make a radical difference.

Blepharoplasty Surgery Procedure in Turkey

As the leading European cosmetic surgery hub, Turkey is a popular place for blephorasty due to its renowned clinics and affordable prices.

The procedure takes about two to three hours and is done under intravenous sedation or local anaesthetic. The surgeon will put a numbing solution in your eyelids and begin the procedure after the anaesthesia sets in. Small incisions are made in the less noticeable areas, such as in the natural creases of the upper eyelids or below the lash lines, and any excess fat or skin is removed, after which stitches are applied.

Recovery from Eyelid Surgery in Turkey

Once the surgery is completed, your eye may be covered by bandages or gauze to help heal. After about one week, the sutures are removed. Often specific medication is prescribed to the patient, as well as other things, such as topical ointments.

During the recovery and healing period, specific symptoms may be around the sensitive area, such as dryness or irritation and mild pain, which can be negated using a cold compress or the prescribed ointment.    

For complete recovery to occur, you will need to give yourself a few months. However, you can resume normal activities within ten days, after which any bruising or swelling will have subsided. Avoid direct sunlight and wear dark-tinted sunglasses if it is necessary to go outside. In addition, do not mishandle the skin around the eyes, such as when washing your face and using abrasive elements. Always be gentle. 

Unlike other plastic surgeries, which require admission and in-patient care, most people are considered outpatients because they can leave the clinic after the treatment. After a few days, patients can already notice the difference and changes in their faces with the help of eyelid surgery and facelift.

There are a few ways to keep the swelling down and the discomfort minimal.

• An ice pack or freezer bag filled with ice and frozen peas can also help
• Clean towels and washcloths
• Eye drops or artificial tears – ask your doctor to recommend ones that are good for your specific situation
• Over-the-counter painkillers – ask your doctor to recommend ones that are good for your specific situation
  

How Long Do Eye Surgery Results Last?

• Eyelid surgery typically lasts for up to 7 years.
• If both the top and bottom eyelids are treated, it may be necessary to repeat the surgery on the top eyelids. Lower eyelid surgery rarely needs to be repeated.
• The effects of the surgery may be less long-lasting if the patient continues to age and the skin starts to sag again. In this case, a forehead lift may be recommended as an alternative to blepharoplasty.

It is crucial to keep in mind that the duration of the results of eyelid surgery can vary depending on a number of factors, including the patient’s age, skin type, and lifestyle. 

Complications of Blepharoplasty / Eyelid Surgery

Blurry vision is also one of the possible side effects of having eyelift surgery. The area in your eyes and your entire vision is still adjusting from the pressure and operation that took place which is why some people experience disturbing vision loss. However, patients must not be too worried because their normal eyesight or vision will return after a few days. In some cases, some people do not report any complications or problems after the procedure which is very favorable for them.

Applying medicine or soothing ointment can prevent further side effects and help the wound heal. You can also consult your doctor and tell him or her about your preferences after the treatment. Most clinics provide creams that will lessen the appearance of scars in the surgery area. Some patients claim that they are having a hard time opening their eyes and some redness due to irritation.

While others complain that they experience severe itchiness around the eye area. This is why it is important to have a post-operation consultation with your trusted doctor to help you evaluate your current health concerns.

One of the main issues that patients must prevent is having an infection. It is important to make sure that you are just using sanitized materials such as cotton and clothing that may touch the area of the operation.

Bruises may appear after a few days in the area wherein the stitches were made. This is normal, especially for people who have very sensitive skin and fair complexion.
