Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid Surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that rejuvenates the appearance of the eyes by removing excess skin, fat, and tissue from the upper or lower eyelids. Sagging eyelids and under-eye bags not only make a person look tired or older but can also affect vision in severe cases.

At Badge Health in Turkey, we specialize in eyelid surgery to restore youthful, refreshed, and natural-looking eyes.

4 Steps to Your Transformation

Your dream appearance is closer than ever — guided by professionals and delivered through four simple, trusted steps.

What is Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid surgery is designed to correct drooping upper eyelids, puffy lower eyelids, or both. It can:

  • Remove sagging skin that creates folds or affects vision
  • Eliminate under-eye bags and puffiness
  • Improve overall eye contour
  • Provide a fresher and more youthful appearance

This procedure is one of the most popular facial cosmetic surgeries due to its noticeable yet natural results.

How is Eyelid Surgery Performed?

The method depends on whether upper eyelid, lower eyelid, or both areas are treated:

Consultation & Planning: A full evaluation of eyelid condition and patient goals.

Anesthesia: Usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia if needed.

Upper Eyelid Surgery: Excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat are removed through a small incision along the natural crease.

Lower Eyelid Surgery: Fat deposits and loose skin are corrected via an incision just below the lash line or inside the eyelid (transconjunctival technique).

Closing Incisions: Fine sutures are used to ensure minimal scarring.

The procedure usually takes 1–2 hours and is often performed on an outpatient basis.

Advantages of Eyelid Surgery

  • Removes sagging and drooping eyelids
  • Reduces under-eye bags and puffiness
  • Restores a more youthful, refreshed look
  • Improves peripheral vision (if drooping skin obstructs sight)
  • Provides long-lasting results
  • Minimal scarring hidden in natural creases

Recovery After Eyelid Surgery

Recovery is generally smooth and quick:

  • Mild swelling and bruising for 1–2 weeks
  • Stitches removed after about 5–7 days (if external sutures are used)
  • Using cold compresses helps reduce swelling
  • Most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 weeks
  • Final results become fully visible after healing, usually within a few months

Risks and Considerations

Eyelid surgery is safe but, as with all surgical procedures, carries some risks, including:

  • Temporary dryness or irritation in the eyes
  • Swelling and bruising
  • Mild discomfort or tightness in the eyelids
  • Rare asymmetry or need for revision
  • Temporary blurred vision (resolves as swelling decreases)

At Badge Health, our expert surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure safe procedures and natural results.
