Bleparoplasty

The lower eyelids are one of the most telling signs of tired ness and old. A ape baggy, puffy lower eyelid makes us look older and more tired than we are. These complaints can be resolved with surgical or non-surgical methods (such as lasers and under-eye fillers). These treatments are personalized and the most appropriate treatment can be planned for you after a physical examination.

Laser can be used for undereye bags without surgery. The laser is non-ablative and does not cause superficial skin peeling. It often requires 3 sessions. There should be 10-15 days between sessions. There is redness for about 1-2 days. It is necessary to protect the skin from the sun. Good results can never be obtained as much as with surgery, but it is preferred by some patients because it does not require anesthesia and can be applied in 15-20 minutes under office conditions.

Lower lid blepharoplasty is recommended for more severe deformities.

There may be mild swelling and bruises on the face.  These complaints can be reduced by regular cold compress in the early period. The bandages are removed on the 2nd-3rd day and the patient can take a bath. Stitches are removed on the 5th day. Swelling and bruises disappear within 7-10 days and makeup can be applied after this period. You can return to work on the 3rd-5th day after surgery. Light activities can be done after 2 to 3 weeks and heavy activities can be done after 1 month.
