The duration varies depending on the procedure. Upper eyelid surgery alone takes less time. If upper eyelid surgery plus additional procedures are planned, the duration increases. Preparation and recovery times should also be considered alongside the surgery duration.

Yes, it is performed under local anesthesia for most patients. Comfort can be enhanced with sedation in addition to local anesthesia. In some cases, general anesthesia may be more appropriate.

Pain is not expected during the procedure. Local anesthesia numbs the area. Afterward, there may be mild stinging or tightness. This is generally managed with simple pain control.

The timing varies depending on the type of suture and technique. Some sutures dissolve on their own. Others are removed shortly after the procedure. The suture line must not be pulled on under any circumstances.

With proper planning, permanent failure to close is not expected. Removing too much skin increases this risk. Therefore, the goal is not to “remove too much” but to “remove the correct amount.”

Swelling and changes in eyelid movement in the first few days can increase dryness. Some patients already have underlying dryness. Therefore, preoperative assessment of dryness is important.

Temporary blurred vision may occur in the first few days due to ointment, eye drops, or swelling. Persistent and sudden changes in vision are not considered normal. In such a case, prompt evaluation is required.

Cold compresses are very effective in the first 48 hours. Keeping the head elevated reduces swelling. Strenuous activity and hot showers can increase bruising. Regular sleep and adequate water intake support healing.

Makeup is not recommended until the incision line has fully healed. Applying makeup too early increases the risk of infection. After a doctor’s examination, if the incision line is safe, makeup can be started.

Lenses are not recommended in the first few days. The eye surface is sensitive. Generally, as healing progresses, a plan to resume lens use is made following a check-up.

The results are long-lasting. However, the aging process continues. Skin quality, genetic makeup, smoking, and sun exposure affect the process.

The incision is hidden within the natural crease. A pink line may be visible in the first few months. Over time, the color fades and softens. Sun protection significantly improves the quality of the scar.

There is no strict age limit. In some individuals, sagging occurs early due to genetics. What matters is not age, but the severity of the tissue issue in the eyelid.

If the upper eyelid skin is obstructing vision, then yes. Sagging on the outer side, in particular, creates a “curtain effect.” In this case, surgery provides both aesthetic and functional benefits.

No. Brow position is a separate issue. In some patients, the main issue is a drooping eyebrow. In this case, simply removing eyelid skin won’t yield the desired result. A combination of procedures may be necessary.

The goal is to preserve the eye’s natural form. Excessive tissue removal or incorrect tension can make the eye appear unnatural. With proper planning, any change results in a “rejuvenated” appearance.

Yes, in the first few weeks. Swelling does not subside equally on both sides. Therefore, a sensation of “asymmetry” is common in the early stages. If there is suspicion of permanent asymmetry, an evaluation is performed later on.

It affects the direction and support of the outer corner of the eye. If there is drooping of the outer corner, it corrects it. In suitable patients, the gaze appears more lively. The goal is not excessive pulling.

No. Tissue quality, eye shape, outer corner anatomy, and patient expectations are evaluated together. In unsuitable candidates, an unnatural appearance and stability issues may occur.

Results can be maintained for a long time. However, they are affected by tissue quality and the aging process. In cases of very weak tissue, the support plan becomes more critical.

A sensation of tightness may be felt in the first few days. This sensation usually subsides as swelling decreases. Persistent, increasing pain is not considered normal.

The risk decreases with proper technique and secure fixation. However, factors such as weak tissue, trauma, or strenuous movements in the early period may affect the outcome.

Strenuous activity is not recommended in the first few days. Activities that raise blood pressure may increase bruising. Light walking is appropriate in the early stages. A controlled return to intense sports is planned.

Sun exposure can cause the scar line to darken. Protecting yourself from the sun in the first few months improves scar quality. Wearing sunglasses provides an advantage during this process.

Sudden vision loss, rapidly increasing swelling on one side, severe pain, and heavy bleeding require immediate evaluation. In these cases, do not wait; contact us immediately.
