EYELID AESTHETIC SURGERY (Blepharoplasty)

It is a procedure that involves the removal of sagging skin and muscle tissue as a result of loosening of the skin and deterioration of its elasticity in the upper and lower lids due to genetic factors and advancing age. They cause bagging. The muscles that prevent our eyelids from falling weaken over time. A drooping upper eyelid causes the person’s eye to close and vision to be impaired if no precautions are taken.

Low eyelid shows a more tired and aged appearance.

Many factors affect the sagging of the eyelid. Constantly looking at the computer, smoking, alcohol use, unhealthy diet, irregular sleep, genetic reasons are among these factors.

Blepharoplasty is usually performed by individuals over the age of 35.

Because after the age of 35, the skin begins to lose its elasticity and droopy eyelids begin to be seen in individuals. However, in extreme cases, that is, in people with low eyebrows since childhood, in individuals who have problems around the eyes due to sleep problems, it can be performed at any age.

Signs of aging in the lower eyelid

It is about the cheeks. As age progresses, sagging occurs on the face due to gravity. As a result, bag formation and discoloration may occur under the eyes. After the age of 40, it starts to become apparent. In addition, laugh lines begin to show themselves, that is, crow’s feet lines are formed around the eyes.

How is lower eyelid surgery performed?

Lower eyelid surgery begins with the creation of incisions just below the eyelashes. The skin is then lifted and the excess muscle and skin are cut away from this area. The oil packets are evenly spread over the under-eye socket. If this procedure is insufficient and the dimpled appearance persists, fat injection may be required.

Signs of aging in the upper eyelid

After the 30s, the skin starts to lose its elasticity. The eyelid course becomes loose and as a result, accumulation occurs in the eyelid. After the 50s, with the thinning of the muscles in the upper eyelid, there is an increase in the abundance of the skin and prominence in the fat pads. Low, sagging and wrinkled eyelids cause an aged, dense and dull appearance.

In some patients, this process may be delayed even earlier. Another intervention may be necessary.
