How is Lower Eyelid Aesthetics Performed?
Before the surgery, the individual must inform the doctor who will perform the surgery and the anesthesiologist about any medications he/she is currently using and details about his/her general health condition. Except for blood thinners used, herbal teas and fish oils should be stopped 1 week before the operation date. However, these uses must be within the knowledge of the doctor. As with all surgical procedures, tobacco and alcohol use should be stopped before the blepharoplasty procedure. This is important for the healing phase to progress faster.
Eyelid surgery continues with the first step of evaluating the patient and then drawing the folds around the eyes and taking measurements. The procedure can be performed with surgical equipment through transconjunctival application from the lash line under the lower eyelid or from the area on the inside of the eyelid.
Eyelid surgery is a surgery with very successful results and a short and comfortable recovery period. The person can easily return to normal life after resting for a maximum of 3 days.
How Long Does Lower Blepharoplasty Surgery Take? Is General Anesthesia Necessary?
The procedure time of this operation takes approximately 1-1.5 hours, and if there is no need after the surgery, you can be discharged on the same day. However, if no additional facial procedures will be performed in addition to the operation, no increase in this period is foreseen.
This process is permanent and its effect lasts for 10 to 15 years. However, due to skin tissue losing elasticity, advancing age and gravity, repeated surgical procedures may be required in the future.
Although this procedure can be performed under local anesthesia, applying general anesthesia can increase patient comfort. Sometimes, this operation can be performed successfully under sedation or general anesthesia, if the patient wishes.

Can Facial Sagging Be Treated with Lower Blepharoplasty Surgery?
As there is a loss in the elasticity of the skin tissue with age and collagen production decreases, the eyelids and the entire face begin to sag accordingly. This sagging, especially in the facial area, manifests itself with bagging on the lower eyelid and sagging on the skin, while also creating an expression of fatigue on the upper eyelid .
With this surgery performed on the eyelid , the sagging appearance is eliminated and the person gains a 5 to 10 years younger appearance. In addition, since excess tissue is recovered with lower blepharoplasty surgery, a tension on the skin is also achieved. This provides a supportive effect on sagging on the face.
Will There Be Scars in Lower Blepharoplasty Surgery?
During eyelid surgery , the incision scars made on the area remain exactly at the base of the eyelashes. The operation scars lose their visibility completely after the 2nd month. Then, it disappears completely over time. However, it is important to ensure that there are no scars left on the area after the operation, that post-operative care must be done well, and that the area must be carefully protected to prevent infection.
This is an important requirement for the operation to heal and to leave no permanent scars. It is also very important to protect yourself from sunlight after the operation to avoid scars.
