Types of Eyelid Surgery in Turkey

It is the patient’s responsibility to properly inform him or herself about the procedure and make a conscious, pondered decision. Each case is different and different treatments lead to different results.

Upon consultation, a surgical plan will be established to provide you with several alternatives. The final choice is always yours.

Here are the different types of eyelid surgery in Turkey:

Upper eyelid surgery (Upper blepharoplasty)

This surgical method addresses excess skin and fat in the upper eyelids which can create a heavy or drooping appearance. Upper eyelid surgery involves removing the excess tissue and tightening the remaining skin and muscle.

Lower eyelid surgery (Lower blepharoplasty)

Lower eyelid surgery is typically used to address under-eye bags and puffiness. The procedure involves removing excess fat and/or skin from the lower eyelids and tightening the remaining tissue.

Double eyelid surgery (Upper and lower blepharoplasty)

This type of surgery is common in Asian countries. Double eyelid surgery involves creating a crease in the upper eyelid to make the eyes appear larger and more open.

Transconjunctival blepharoplasty

This procedure is used to remove excess fat from the lower eyelids. Unlike traditional lower eyelid surgery, which involves making an incision under the eyelashes, transconjunctival blepharoplasty involves making an incision on the inside of the lower eyelid, leaving no visible scar.
