What is Upper Blepharoplasty?

Upper blepharoplasty, also known as hooded eye surgery, is an eye aesthetic operation performed by surgically removing excess skin, muscle and fat tissue in the upper eyelid. This eye aesthetic operation targets sagging due to aging, genetic factors or gravity. In this context, both aesthetic concerns are corrected and functional problems that narrow the visual field in advanced cases are improved. At the same time, this operation gives the patient's eye contour a younger, fresher and more dynamic appearance and the healing process is relatively faster compared to other operations. Finally, the patient should take care to rest for a few days after surgery and follow the care instructions recommended by the doctor. This way, he/she can have impressive looks.

How is Upper Eyelid Surgery Performed?

Upper Eyelid Surgery is an aesthetic operation performed by surgically removing excess skin, muscle and fat tissue in the eyelid. This operation is generally performed under local anesthesia and takes approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. During this time, the surgeon makes a thin incision along the natural fold of the eyelid and carefully removes the excess skin and muscle tissue. If there is herniated fatty tissue in the eyelid, this is also removed in a controlled manner, giving the eyelid a firmer and more youthful appearance. After the operation, the incision area is closed with fine and aesthetic sutures.

The patient is then discharged on the same day. Swelling and bruising may occur around the eyes for the first few days. This is a very natural process. Therefore, there is no need to worry. To minimize these effects, cold compresses should be applied and activities that strain the eyes should be avoided. After the procedure, the patient will have a younger and more energetic appearance.

What are the Advantages of Droopy Eyelid Surgery?

Hooded eye surgery has many important advantages for the patient. These advantages add many things to the person both physically and mentally. To examine these advantages in detail;

• The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and the healing process is largely completed within 1-2 weeks and the patient can return to his/her daily life in a short time.
