Blepharoplasty Solution for Tired Eyes
The eyes are the focal point of the face, providing the first impression of a person's fatigue, age, and general energy. Due to the effects of aging, genetic predisposition, gravity, and the loosening of facial muscles over the years, both aesthetic and functional problems occur in the eyelids. Eyelid surgery (Blepharoplasty) applications solve these problems permanently, providing the individual with a more alert, dynamic, and youthful look.
Comprehensive Approach to Periorbital Issues and Aesthetic Benefits
Common problems around the eyes not only negatively affect facial expression but can also reduce daily quality of life:
| Region | Aesthetic Issues | Functional Issues |
| Upper Eyelid | Excess skin and sagging, tired expression making eyes look small | Restricted field of vision (pseudo-ptosis), constant feeling of heaviness. |
| Lower Eyelid | Under-eye bags (fat herniation), deep wrinkles, and dark circles | Shadowing caused by bags and a persistent exhausted appearance. |
Blepharoplasty is the most reliable way to eliminate this tired and unhappy expression, especially in individuals aged 35 and over where skin elasticity begins to decrease.
Blepharoplasty Techniques and the Minimal Scar Principle
The goal in eyelid aesthetics is to remove excess tissue while preserving the natural contour of the eye and minimizing scars:
1. Upper Eyelid Aesthetics: This operation focuses on removing sagging skin and muscle tissue that narrows the field of vision. The incision is made through the natural eyelid crease (sulcus). Thanks to this strategic incision, the surgical scar becomes almost invisible when healing is complete, and the person can easily return to daily life without makeup.
2. Lower Eyelid Aesthetics: Bags in the lower lid usually result from fat tissue herniation. The incision is made just below the lash line. During the procedure, the fat tissue causing the bags is either removed or strategically repositioned to fill the under-eye hollows (fat transposition). If necessary, complementary procedures such as a midface lift can be added for a younger and fuller appearance.
Operation Process, Anesthesia, and Longevity
Eyelid aesthetics is an intervention that takes an average of 30 to 60 minutes. It is mostly performed comfortably under local anesthesia and sedation. While the results usually last 7 to 10 years, it should not be forgotten that aging is a dynamic process. To extend the results:
- Continuous UV Protection: Use of protective glasses and creams against harmful sun rays.
- Regular Skincare: Use of moisturizing and collagen-supporting products for the eye area.
- Healthy Lifestyle: Avoiding smoking and getting enough sleep.
This surgical intervention not only renews the appearance but also directly contributes to the general psychological well-being and self-confidence of the person by making them feel rested and energetic.
