Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) in Turkey
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. It can address drooping eyelids, puffiness, and under-eye bags, resulting in a more alert, youthful, and refreshed appearance.
Types of Blepharoplasty
- Upper Blepharoplasty: Removes excess skin that may obstruct vision
- Lower Blepharoplasty: Addresses under-eye bags and puffiness
- Double Eyelid Surgery: Creates a crease in the upper eyelid
- Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty: Scarless technique through the inner eyelid
The Procedure
Upper blepharoplasty takes about 1 hour, while combined upper and lower procedures take 2-3 hours. The surgery is typically performed under local anaesthesia with sedation. Incisions are hidden in the natural creases of the eyelid.
Recovery is relatively quick, with most patients returning to normal activities within 7-10 days. Bruising and swelling typically resolve within 2 weeks. Costs in Turkey range from £1,200-£2,500, compared to £3,000-£6,000 in the UK.
