What is upper eyelid surgery?
Upper eyelid surgery (upper blepharoplasty) is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin and fatty tissue from the upper eyelids, which naturally become loose and heavy over time. This process, often caused by aging or genetics, can result in sagging skin that hangs over the eyelid margin, giving the eyes a tired appearance and, in some cases, significantly reducing the field of vision. The procedure tightens the area, restoring a more open, refreshed, and youthful look while preserving your natural facial features.
Pre- and Post-Operative Consultation
Before undergoing any procedure, a thorough consultation is essential. During this appointment, our team of plastic surgeons evaluates the elasticity of your skin, the position of your eyebrows, and the structure of your eyelids to develop a personalized treatment plan. Follow-up appointments after surgery are equally important. Through a series of post-operative check-ups, we monitor the healing process and assess the aesthetic outcome. Our commitment to your care continues until we are confident that the results meet both the planned objectives and your expectations.
Preparing for Surgery
Proper preparation is the foundation of a successful procedure. At our clinic, the preparation process is designed to be as simple and stress-free as possible. All required laboratory tests are performed directly at our clinic shortly before surgery, saving you time while ensuring comprehensive medical supervision. You will also receive detailed instructions regarding diet, hygiene, and pre-operative care to ensure your body is in optimal condition for the procedure. Our team is available to answer all your questions so that you can arrive on the day of surgery feeling relaxed and confident.
Type of Anesthesia
Patient safety is our highest priority. For this reason, upper eyelid surgery is performed exclusively under general anesthesia. This approach ensures that you remain asleep and completely comfortable throughout the procedure. Our experienced team of anesthesiologists continuously monitors your vital signs from the moment anesthesia begins until you wake up, providing maximum comfort, enhanced safety, and a smooth recovery with minimal side effects.
The Surgical Procedure
The surgery typically takes about one hour and is performed with exceptional precision by our experienced surgeons. Incisions are carefully placed within the natural crease of the upper eyelid, making the scars virtually invisible once healing is complete. Excess skin and fatty tissue are gently removed, after which the remaining skin is tightened and meticulously sutured. The goal is to create a harmonious, natural-looking result that opens the eyes while preserving normal facial expressions.
Recovery After Surgery
Recovery is an important part of achieving the best possible results. After surgery, patients stay overnight at our clinic under the close supervision of our medical staff. Once you return home, applying cold compresses is essential to help reduce swelling. Most patients can resume normal daily activities within a few days, while more strenuous physical activity should be postponed for 2 to 3 weeks. Mild swelling and slight discomfort during the first few days are completely normal. By following your surgeon's post-operative instructions, you can expect a smooth recovery and enjoy a refreshed, more open, and youthful appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Laboratory tests, an internal medicine examination, and an ECG are performed at our clinic a few hours before the surgery itself.
Patients are operated on by one of our surgeons, each of whom has performed several thousand breast surgeries. Most of our surgeons are university professors. The exact name and surname of the surgeon who will perform your surgery can be provided only after the procedure has been agreed upon and the surgery date has been scheduled.
The price includes the surgery, all laboratory tests, and one night’s stay at the clinic. There are no additional or hidden costs.
Upper eyelid surgery is intended for individuals who have developed excess skin and sagging in the upper eyelid area, which can make the eyes appear tired and contribute to an aged facial appearance. These changes may occur as a result of the natural aging process, genetic predisposition, or the effects of lifestyle factors.
No, upper eyelid surgery is a cosmetic procedure performed exclusively on the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the eyelid, without affecting the eyeball. On the contrary, many patients notice an “opening” of their field of vision after the removal of excess skin, as the physical obstruction previously caused by sagging skin over the eye is eliminated.
Incisions are made within the natural crease of the eyelid, which means that once fully healed, they are almost completely hidden when the eyes are open. Our surgeons use highly precise suturing techniques, allowing the incision line to gradually become almost invisible and blend seamlessly with the natural texture of the skin.
Upper eyelid surgery is most commonly performed under local anesthesia, allowing the patient to leave the clinic on the same day after the procedure, with appropriate post-operative instructions. The incision is carefully planned within the natural crease of the upper eyelid so that, after healing, it remains discreet and as minimally visible as possible.
There is no specific age that is considered ideal for upper eyelid surgery. The development of excess skin and eyelid sagging varies from person to person and depends on numerous factors, including genetics, sun exposure, skin quality, and lifestyle habits such as lack of sleep, smoking, and alcohol consumption.
In upper eyelid surgery, the incision is placed within the natural crease of the eyelid, in a carefully selected location to make it as discreet as possible. Once healed, the scar usually blends with the natural lines of the skin and remains subtle. The placement of the incision depends on the patient’s individual anatomy and the extent of correction required.
Upper eyelid surgery is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgical procedures on the face. It is performed to remove excess skin and fatty tissue that can make the eyes appear tired and contribute to an aged facial appearance, resulting in a refreshed and more youthful look. In addition to aesthetic benefits, the procedure can also have a functional purpose, as significant upper eyelid sagging may restrict the field of vision in some patients and interfere with everyday activities.
