What is Eyelid Aesthetics?
Eyelid aesthetics in Antalya is a popular choice for those seeking a youthful and dynamic appearance. This procedure involves the removal of excess skin, muscle, and fat tissues from the upper and lower eyelids, effectively reducing signs of aging around the eyes. Experienced aesthetic surgeons in Antalya use modern techniques to achieve both aesthetic and functional results. The surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia, is completed in a short time, and is known for its fast recovery process.
Blepharoplasty removes or reshapes excess skin, muscle, and fat in the upper and lower eyelids. This procedure addresses signs of aging, sagging, and puffiness around the eyes. It not only enhances aesthetic appearance but also expands the field of vision.
We perform eyelid aesthetics under local anesthesia, and the procedure usually lasts 60-90 minutes. After the operation, mild swelling and bruising may occur in the eyelids, but these effects subside within 2-3 weeks. It is important to avoid contact with water in the first few days. Over time, minimal sagging may occur due to aging and gravity, but this is usually very slight.
This procedure rejuvenates facial appearance, giving a more youthful expression. It is suitable for both middle-aged and younger individuals. When performed by an experienced oculoplastic surgeon, it ensures safe and satisfying results.
Differences Between Upper and Lower Eyelid Aesthetics
While both upper and lower eyelid aesthetics aim to eliminate signs of aging and improve appearance, they differ in terms of purpose, techniques, and targeted concerns.
1. Upper Eyelid Aesthetics (Upper Blepharoplasty)
- Purpose: Removing excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper eyelid to restore a youthful and refreshed look.
- Targeted Issues: Droopy upper eyelid, loss of eyelid crease, eyelid ptosis (drooping), and a tired appearance.
- Surgical Technique: Incisions are made along the natural eyelid crease, ensuring scars remain hidden. Excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat tissue are removed or reshaped.
- Recovery Time: Upper eyelid surgery is less invasive, allowing a faster recovery. Swelling and bruising typically subside within 1-2 weeks.
2. Lower Eyelid Aesthetics (Lower Blepharoplasty)
- Purpose: Eliminating puffiness, sagging, wrinkles, and dark circles under the eyes. This procedure smoothens the under-eye area for a more youthful look.
- Targeted Issues: Under-eye bags, skin laxity, wrinkles, and deep tear troughs.
- Surgical Technique: Incisions are made along the lower lash line or inside the lower eyelid to avoid visible scarring. Excess fat is repositioned or removed, and loose skin or muscle is tightened. This procedure requires more precision and skill.
- Recovery Time: Swelling and bruising may last for 2-3 weeks, and final results become more visible within a few months.
