What is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is commonly referred to as ‘eyelid surgery in Turkey’ or ‘eyelid lift.’ The surgery involves removing excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids in order to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
The procedure can be performed for both cosmetic and functional reasons and can be typically undergone under local or general anesthesia.
Is Eyelid Surgery a Good Option?
Whether or not eyelid surgery is a good idea depends on several factors. Excess skin on your upper eyelids might be interfering with your vision, in which case blepharoplasty in Turkey can be highly beneficial.
If you are concerned about tired or aged appearance, there might be better options, such as Botox or a facelift. Should you want us to study your case and establish a treatment plan for free, don’t hesitate to contact us for a medical consultation

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