Eyelid aesthetic surgery, medically known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to correct excess skin, fat bulging, and sagging that occur in the upper and/or lower eyelids. Aging, genetic factors, facial expressions, stress, and the effects of gravity can lead to loosening, puffiness, and a tired appearance around the eyes.
Blepharoplasty surgery eliminates these deformities, restoring a younger, more dynamic, and refreshed look.
The eye area is the most expressive part of the face; therefore, even small changes can significantly affect one’s overall facial expression. Through eyelid aesthetic surgery, both the aesthetic appearance improves and functional issues such as vision obstruction caused by excess skin on the upper eyelid are eliminated. Blepharoplasty is performed not only for cosmetic purposes but also for functional reasons.
In the upper eyelid, sagging skin can gradually restrict the field of vision and cause eye fatigue. On the other hand, puffiness and skin laxity in the lower eyelids can make a person appear tired, sad, or older than they actually are.
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure performed not only to improve aesthetic appearance but also to restore the functional structure of the eyelids. Over time, excess skin that accumulates on the upper eyelids can narrow the field of vision, creating both aesthetic and visual discomfort. This issue often becomes more noticeable toward the end of the day as eye fatigue and heaviness increase. In the lower eyelids, puffiness and skin laxity may cause a constantly tired, sad, or aged expression.
During the operation, excess skin, fat, and sometimes loose muscle tissue are carefully removed. The area is reshaped to achieve a firmer, smoother, and more youthful eye contour. As a result, the face gains a more dynamic, fresh, and lively expression overall.
Blepharoplasty is often combined with other rejuvenating surgeries such as brow lift, forehead lift, or facelift to achieve a more harmonious and balanced rejuvenation effect. This approach enhances not only the eye area but also the overall facial expression, giving the patient a brighter and more energetic appearance.

Blepharoplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia, often with sedation support. Depending on the patient’s overall condition and preference, general anesthesia may also be used.
The average duration of the operation is about 30–45 minutes for the upper eyelids and 45–60 minutes for the lower eyelids.
The surgeon makes incisions along the natural crease of the upper eyelid and just below the lash line for the lower eyelid. Through these incisions, excess skin, muscle, and fat are carefully removed or repositioned. The incisions are then closed with fine aesthetic sutures, allowing the scars to blend naturally with the eyelid folds and become virtually invisible after healing.
In some cases, lower eyelid puffiness can be corrected using the transconjunctival technique (inner incision) without making any external cuts. This method is especially preferred for younger patients, as it leaves no visible scar on the skin’s surface.
Aging of the upper eyelid, together with genetic factors or reduced skin elasticity, can lead over time to drooping, excess skin, and muscle laxity. This affects not only aesthetic appearance but can also narrow the visual field.
Sagging skin of the upper lid may cause a feeling of heaviness in the eyes, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating, especially toward the end of the day.
Upper blepharoplasty carefully removes excess skin, lax muscle tissue, and accumulated fat pads. This redefines the upper-lid crease, restores the natural periocular contour, and achieves a more open, dynamic gaze.
After the procedure, the individual attains a younger and more vibrant expression.
With aging or genetic predisposition, fat in the lower eyelid can protrude and form bags. When combined with dark circles and skin laxity, these bags create a persistently tired, sleepless, or aged look. Over time, fine wrinkles and loss of elasticity also become more apparent.
Lower blepharoplasty removes or repositions excess fat beneath the eyes to create a smoother transition. When necessary, redundant skin is excised to reduce wrinkling, the skin is tightened, and the under-eye line is smoothed. This softens the transition between the eyelid and cheek, bringing freshness and vitality to the midface.
Postoperatively, the “tired look” is replaced with a rested, youthful, and brighter appearance.
After eyelid surgery, the face appears younger, fresher, and more natural. As sagging and puffiness around the eyes are removed, the patient achieves a more vibrant and rested expression. Removing excess skin from the upper eyelid also widens the field of vision, reduces eye fatigue, and makes makeup application easier.
Blepharoplasty is one of the most effective facial rejuvenation procedures, known for its long-lasting results — typically maintaining its effect for 8–10 years. With proper planning, a harmonious, natural, and symmetrical facial appearance is achieved, resulting in a “refreshed, not operated” look.
As of 2026, eyelid surgery prices may vary depending on:
whether only the upper, lower, or both eyelids are treated,
the choice of local or general anesthesia,
the surgeon’s experience and clinic conditions.
Blepharoplasty is not merely a cosmetic operation; it is a rejuvenation and balance procedure that fundamentally transforms facial expression and visual perception.
Yes. The results typically last for 8–10 years. However, since the natural aging process continues, minor changes may occur over time.
Mild tightness or a burning sensation may occur. This usually subsides within a few days. Applying a cold compress around the eyes helps relieve discomfort.
It is generally preferred for individuals aged 30 and above, but it can also be performed on younger patients who have genetic under-eye puffiness or similar concerns.
The incisions are made along natural crease lines, so the scars are barely visible. Once the healing process is complete, they blend in with the skin tone and become almost unnoticeable.
