What Is Upper Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)?
Upper eyelid surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to correct sagging skin and excess tissue on the eyelids caused by aging, genetic factors, or environmental influences.
The operation eliminates the tired, aged, or droopy look around the eyes, restoring a fresher, younger, and more dynamic appearance.
Excess skin on the upper eyelids can cause not only aesthetic concerns but also functional problems. Drooping eyelids may narrow the visual field, making daily activities more difficult. Therefore, this surgery improves both appearance and vision quality, enhancing overall confidence and comfort.

Benefits of Upper Eyelid Surgery
Upper eyelid surgery is a holistic procedure that offers both functional and aesthetic benefits:
The Procedure
Eyelid surgery can be performed under local or general anesthesia. The surgeon makes small incisions along the natural eyelid crease to remove excess skin and fat tissue. The duration varies depending on the patient’s needs.
After the surgery, swelling and bruising may occur, but these are temporary. Bandages or special dressings may be used if recommended by the surgeon.
Important Post-Surgery Considerations:
Regular follow-ups help ensure lasting and aesthetic results.
Incisions are made along the natural eyelid crease, so scars are usually not noticeable. Mild redness may appear in the first months but fades significantly over time with proper care.
The procedure typically lasts 30–60 minutes, and patients are often discharged the same day.
Yes, swelling and bruising are normal in the first days. With cold compresses and prescribed medication, these symptoms improve quickly and usually resolve within 1–2 weeks.
The effects of upper eyelid surgery can last for many years—often 7 to 10 years. Although the natural aging process continues, the improvements are long-lasting.
Most patients return to daily activities within 7–10 days. Complete healing and final results are typically achieved within a few months.
