Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Eyelid surgery gives the gaze a young and vigorous expression by removing excess skin accumulated in the upper lid and bags in the lower lid. Op. Dr. Saffet Ulutaş carefully analyzes the eye area anatomy, eyebrow position, and skin thickness in blepharoplasty planning. If necessary, supportive procedures such as brow lift or brow suspension are planned.

In the upper lid operation, excess skin and fat tissue are removed by entering from the natural fold line; muscles are strengthened. In the lower lid, bags are removed with internal (transconjunctival) or external incisions, and fat tissue is redistributed to prevent a sunken appearance. Dr. Ulutaş prefers minimal tissue removal to protect eyelid functions.

Mild swelling and bruises may be seen in the first week after the surgery; recovery is accelerated with cold compresses, medication, and head elevation. Artificial tear drops are used with physician recommendation to prevent dry eyes. Sutures are removed in 5-7 days and scars harmonize with skin color over time.

Blepharoplasty not only provides cosmetic benefits; it also offers functional gains because sagging upper lids narrow the field of vision. Applying makeup becomes easier, and the feeling of weight around the eyes decreases. Op. Dr. Saffet Ulutaş targets results that preserve natural expressions by evaluating his patients' expectations realistically.
