Do you have drooping eyelids or bags under your eyes because of excess skin and fat? Eyelid surgery in Turkey could be the answer.
Upper or lower blepharoplasty surgery is a cosmetic procedure used to revitalise your eyes. During the operation, the plastic surgeon removes muscles, unwanted skin and fat from the eyes. This corrects vision problems caused by drooping eyelids and the signs of ageing caused by bags under the eyes.
Many people choose to have cosmetic surgery in Turkey at clinics such as Cosmedica Aesthetic because of the affordability. Discover what blepharoplasty involves and why you should go to Turkey for any type of eyelid surgery.
What Is Eyelid Surgery?
Exposure to the sun often accelerates skin ageing, and even if you avoid the sun, you’re not immune to it. The effects of ageing are often visible in droopy eyelids because of thin skin and sensitivity around the eyes. If sagging eyelids and eye bags make you feel older or self-conscious, cosmetic surgery such as an eye lift is a good option.
The final results of this type of procedure will give you back your youthful glow and natural creases. As well as improving your appearance, blepharoplasty can also improve your vision. If your upper eyelid is drooping, it can cause vision problems, especially when you look up or sideways.
Blepharoplasty involves making incisions in the creases of the upper eyelids. The surgeon removes the sagging fat and skin from the areas and uses stitches. The procedure is simple and takes one to three hours under general anesthetic or sedation. You don’t need to worry about any scarring from the operation as it’s almost imperceptible.
Upper eyelid surgery is a type of blepharoplasty that removes excess skin and fat from drooping eyelids. The result is better peripheral vision after the sagging skin has been removed. Upper eyelid surgery is usually the quickest, while lower eyelid blepharoplasty takes about two hours.
Eyelid surgery at Cosmedica Aesthetic can be combined with other cosmetic procedures. This could be another cosmetic procedure such as a brow lift or facelift.
Do I Qualify for Eyelid Surgery in Turkey?
Eyelid surgery in Turkey is often done for appearance-enhancing reasons. If you are looking for a younger look through anti-ageing treatments, blepharoplasty is a great option. Double eyelid surgery is suitable for individuals over 35 with baggy eyelids who want to improve their appearance. Aside from sagging eyelids, puffiness around the eyes can also be a reason for eyelid surgery.
Before you go through the surgical procedure, ensure you have good health and no serious eye conditions. You should also have realistic outcomes and expectations.
How Do I Prepare for Blepharoplasty?
If you’re travelling to Turkey for eyelid surgery, you need to consult an ophthalmologist and cosmetic surgeon before the procedures. The initial meeting involves the examination of your eyes and a detailed medical history of previous eye conditions to reaction to various types of anesthesia. You will also discuss other cosmetic surgeries you want and the treatment process alongside the eye lift surgery. For instance, if you want to include other cosmetic surgeries, the doctor will recommend general anesthesia instead of local anesthesia.
You may undergo some blood work, and the ophthalmologist will test the creation of tears. This is also a good time to discuss your expectations for plastic surgery and the look you intend to achieve.
How Long Does It Take to Recover?
Eyelid lift surgery usually requires a short recovery time compared to other aesthetic procedures. Unless there are complications, the entire process is done in three hours, and you can go back home or to your hotel on the same day.
The recovery time is up to 14 days to return to your normal routine. In the first three to five days, you must cover your eyes with gauze pads, take painkillers and apply eye drops. Some of the tips for quick recovery include:
- Do not wear makeup even after recovery for at least two to three weeks.
- If you normally wear glasses, you can use them immediately after the procedure. But, if you use contact lenses, you should ask the doctor when it is safe to use them.
- Rest after surgery and avoid straining yourself.
- Make sure you wear sunglasses throughout.
- Minimize the use of electronics and screen time on smartphones and computers for at least seven days.

Are There Risks Involved?
Eyelid surgery is not a risky procedure, especially when it is done by experienced surgeons at Cosmedica Aesthetic. While blepharoplasty has minimal risks, you should be prepared for the following risks and possible complications:
- Reaction to the anesthesia
- Obvious scars on your upper and lower eyelids
- Possibility of eyelid bleeding, infections, swelling and bruising
- The procedure can cause harm to eye muscles or lead to dry eyes
What is the Eyelid Surgery Cost in Turkey?
In Turkey, eyelid surgery is usually more affordable than in other countries. When shopping around for cosmetic clinics in Turkey to have the procedure done, cost is a major concern. Prices for eyelid surgery can vary depending on the location and the doctor you choose for the procedure.
Eyelid surgery in Turkey costs between $2,000 and $5,000. If you are only having upper blepharoplasty, it will cost less than $1,500. A comprehensive procedure that includes upper and lower blepharoplasty and other cosmetic procedures will cost more. Cosmedica Aesthetic offers this procedure from $2,090.
You should also check other extras offered with the price. For example, some cosmetic clinics include transport services in addition to cosmetic procedures.
