Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and tightens muscles around the eyelids. It can address drooping eyelids, puffiness, and under-eye bags, providing a more youthful and alert appearance. In addition to improving aesthetics, it can also enhance vision by removing skin that obstructs the eyes.
Focuses on removing excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids. Addresses issues like droopy or sagging upper eyelids, which can impair vision and create a tired appearance.
Targets the removal of excess fat and skin from the lower eyelids. Aims to reduce under-eye bags, wrinkles, and puffiness, resulting in a smoother, more youthful look.
Combines both upper and lower eyelid procedures. Provides a comprehensive rejuvenation of the eye area, enhancing both upper and lower eyelids simultaneously.
Proper preparation is key to ensuring a smooth surgery and recovery. Here’s what you need to do before your blepharoplasty:
Smoking significantly impairs the body’s ability to heal and increases the risk of complications. To optimize your recovery and reduce the risk of infection, we strongly recommend quitting smoking at least 4-6 weeks before your surgery, and refraining from smoking during your recovery period.
For your safety, all contraceptive pills must be stopped at least one month prior to surgery. This is necessary to reduce the risk of blood clots and to support optimal circulation during your procedure.
Alcohol can interfere with anesthesia, increase swelling, and slow down the healing process. To ensure a smoother surgery and recovery, please limit alcohol intake at least 1-2 weeks before your procedure and refrain from drinking during your recovery period.
Blood-thinning medications, certain supplements, and herbal teas can increase the risk of bleeding during surgery. Please stop taking these at least 1-2 weeks before your procedure. Always consult with your surgeon about any medications or supplements you're currently taking to ensure a safe and effective surgery.
Payments for your procedure should be made in cash. Bank transfers should be done 7 days prior to arrival and if you prefer to pay by credit card, a processing fee will be added to the total amount, and the payment must be processed before your arrival in the country.
If you're traveling from abroad, ensure that you have the appropriate visa for entry into Turkey. If your country requires a visa, feel free to reach out to our team for assistance—we're happy to help with the process.
A well-balanced, nutritious diet is key to supporting your body’s healing process. Eat nutrient-rich foods in the weeks leading up to your surgery to help strengthen your immune system and prepare your body for the procedure.
It’s important to prepare a comfortable, quiet space for recovery at home. Take time off from work and avoid any strenuous activities to ensure your body can focus on healing. Having a cozy space to rest will help support a quicker and more comfortable recovery.
Smoking can slow healing and increase the risk of complications. It’s advised to stop smoking at least 4-6 weeks before surgery and during recovery.
Some medications, especially blood thinners, should be stopped before surgery. Discuss all medications and supplements with your dentist.
Alcohol can interfere with anesthesia and recovery. Avoid drinking for at least 1-2 weeks before the procedure.
Payments for your procedure should be made in cash. If you prefer to pay via credit card, a processing fee will be applied to the final payment.
Eat a nutritious, balanced diet leading up to your procedure to support your healing and immune system.

The day of your blepharoplasty will be well-organized to ensure the procedure goes smoothly. Here’s what to expect:
Upon arrival, you’ll check in, and our team will guide you to the pre-operative area where you’ll change into a surgical gown. Your vital signs will be monitored before the procedure.
A routine blood test will be conducted to ensure you're in optimal health for surgery. This helps assess key factors like blood clotting and general health, which are essential for a safe surgery.
You will meet with your surgeon to discuss the details of your surgery. This is your chance to ask any questions and go over any aesthetic or functional concerns related to your eyelids. Your surgeon will mark the surgical areas to guide the procedure.
Local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia will be used to ensure you are comfortable during the surgery. You won’t feel any pain during the procedure.
Small incisions will be made in the natural folds of the eyelids, ensuring scars are discreet and well-hidden. For upper eyelid surgery, excess skin, fat, and muscle will be removed to correct drooping and restore a youthful contour. For lower eyelid surgery, the surgeon may remove or reposition excess fat, tighten loose skin, and smooth out under-eye bags. The surgery typically lasts 1-2 hours, depending on whether both upper and lower eyelids are being treated.
Upon arrival, you'll check in and be escorted to a pre-operative area. You’ll change into a gown, and your vital signs will be monitored.
You’ll meet with your dentist to confirm the details of your procedure. This is the time to ask any final questions about your aesthetic goals, the procedure, and the recovery process. Your dentist will also mark the areas to be treated.
For most procedures, local anesthesia will be used to numb the treatment area. If needed, light sedation may also be provided to ensure your comfort.
Depending on the procedure (Smile Makeover, crowns, veneers, or implants), your dentist will take the necessary steps to prepare your teeth. This may involve removing damaged or decayed portions of the teeth, placing temporary crowns or veneers, or placing dental implants.
After the procedure, you’ll be moved to a recovery area, where you’ll be monitored as the anesthesia wears off. Comfort and safety are prioritized during this phase.
Once the procedure is completed, you'll be moved to a recovery area where you will be monitored as the anesthesia wears off. You will begin your recovery process, and our team will provide you with clear instructions for post-surgical care.
Once you're ready, you’ll be discharged from the hospital and escorted back to your hotel to begin your recovery. During this time, avoid strenuous activities and take time to rest so your body can heal.
After your surgery, you will have follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor your healing progress. Your surgeon will check for swelling, bruising, and ensure proper healing of your eyelids.
Most patients can return to light activities after 1-2 weeks. However, strenuous activities like heavy lifting and exercise should be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks to allow for proper healing and reduce the risk of complications.
Some swelling and bruising are normal after blepharoplasty, especially around the eyelids. This typically resolves within 1-2 weeks, though minor swelling may continue for a few months.
Throughout your recovery, our team will be there to support you. Should you have any concerns or questions, we are always available to ensure your healing goes smoothly, and you feel confident in your results.

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that addresses excess skin, fat, and muscle around the upper and/or lower eyelids. It is commonly done to correct drooping eyelids, under-eye bags, and puffiness, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Good candidates for blepharoplasty are individuals who have excess skin, fat, or puffiness around the eyes, which may cause a tired or aged appearance. Ideal candidates should be in general good health and have realistic expectations for the surgery's outcome.
Recovery time varies, but most patients can resume light activities after 1-2 weeks. Full recovery typically takes 6-8 weeks, with swelling and bruising subsiding within the first few weeks. Strenuous activities should be avoided for 4-6 weeks.
The results of blepharoplasty are long-lasting, but the natural aging process will continue. While the surgery can dramatically rejuvenate the appearance of the eyelids, you may notice some changes as you age.
Blepharoplasty is performed under anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. After surgery, mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising are common but can be managed with prescribed pain medications. Most patients report mild discomfort that subsides within a few days.
If excess skin in the upper eyelids is obstructing vision, blepharoplasty can improve sight by removing this skin. However, blepharoplasty is primarily a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the eyelids.
A full facelift targets both the lower face and neck, lifting more tissue for a more dramatic result, while a mini facelift focuses on the lower face and is less invasive with shorter recovery time.

Most women are able to breastfeed after breast implant replacement, but it depends on the technique used and the amount of tissue altered. Be sure to discuss your concerns about breastfeeding with your surgeon before the procedure.
It is possible to breastfeed after breast reduction, but the ability to do so may depend on the technique used and how much tissue is removed. Discuss this with your surgeon prior to surgery to understand the potential impact on breastfeeding.
