What is Eyelid Aesthetics?
Since the eyelids are always visible areas on the human face, changes in this area attract attention at an early stage. Changes in this area may depend on age, but also on the person's lifestyle, hormonal changes, lack of sleep, sun exposure and structural factors.
The most common pathology in the lower eyelid appears as bagging. In older ages, this bagging is accompanied by loosening of the eyelid skin. This bagging in the lower eyelid is caused by the oil around the eye sliding outwards. In its treatment, this fat mass is partially shaved or used to fill the hollow around the eye, and some excess skin can be removed by measurement.
Disorders That May Occur in the Eyelids
The most common disorder in the upper eyelid is skin sagging in the upper eyelid and fat bags, although not as much as in the lower eyelid. The causes of these disorders are similar to those in the lower eyelid. Before performing correction surgery, any drooping eyebrows that may have occurred should be distinguished. Skin sagging and fat bagging are corrected by taking valve functions into consideration. Bruising and swelling around the eyes are expected after these surgeries. Generally, these changes disappear within a week. Lower and upper eyelid surgeries can be performed under local (regional) anesthesia. In this case, keeping the patient in the hospital for a few hours is sufficient. Unless there is a complication after this surgery, eye movements, visual function and tear production are not affected. Face lift surgery is a frequently performed surgery along with eyelid aesthetics, and these two surgeries are generally complementary to each other.
What are the eye area problems?
When it comes to facial aesthetics, one of the first areas that catch your eye are the eyelids, bags under the eyes, and the changes occurring around the eyes. Changes occurring around the eyes make people look tired, bored and old.
At what ages is eye aesthetic surgery performed?
Even in very young people, these bags or sagging above the eyes, which occur due to structural reasons, and the loosening of the skin on the eyelid, give people a tired expression.
Is anesthesia necessary for eyelid surgery and how long does it take?
As a complement to facial aesthetics, I definitely recommend eyelid aesthetics along with facial aesthetics to my patients. Eyelid aesthetics is a very simple procedure. Approximately 30-45 minutes under local anesthesia. It is a long-term procedure. It can be performed in a doctor's office and a hospital environment is not always required.
How long does recovery take after eye bag surgery?
Swelling and bruising in this area is expected to last for approximately 3-4 days after the surgery. The patient should be advised to rest for 3-5 days; But after that, people can return to work very easily, and even if there is a little edema, it does not hinder their lives after this period.
What are the other applications performed along with eye aesthetic surgery?
While correcting the lower eyelid, correcting the hollows under the eyes, adding fillers, and applying fat injections to reduce enlarged under-eye circles are the procedures we frequently perform.
