The eyes are the focal point of the face and the first place where signs of aging appear. Excess skin on the eyelids, sagging, and under-eye bags make a person look much older, sleep-deprived, and sadder than they actually are.
Eyelid Aesthetics (Blepharoplasty) is one of the most effective surgical procedures that rejuvenates the eye area by removing these excess skin and fat tissues, instantly giving the patient a “fresh” appearance. In this surgery, Op. Dr. Bekir Can Gümüşlü aims not only to remove the skin but also to preserve the natural almond shape of the eye and revitalize the expression in the gaze.
Eyelid aesthetics is a procedure performed as upper lid only, lower lid only, or both simultaneously (Four-Lid Blepharoplasty), depending on the need.
The upper eyelid skin is the thinnest skin on the body, and over time, it loosens and falls over the eyelashes. Sometimes this condition progresses so far that it obstructs the patient’s field of vision (the curtain effect).
Procedure: Usually performed under local anesthesia, lasting 30–45 minutes. Technique: Excess skin and herniated fats are removed through an incision made at the natural fold (crease) of the eyelid. Scar: Since the incision is exactly at the fold, the scar is absolutely not visible when the eye is open. When the eye is closed, it fades over time.
The problem in the lower eyelid is generally the fat bags and under-eye troughs rather than excess skin.
Procedure: General anesthesia or sedation is preferred. Technique: Performed by entering through the lash line (open technique) or from inside the eyelid (transconjunctival/scarless technique). Fat Preservation: Instead of completely removing the fat bags and hollowing out the eye, Op. Dr. Bekir Can Gümüşlü ensures a smooth transition by spreading these fats into the hollow between the cheek and the under-eye (tear trough). This is the gold standard of modern blepharoplasty.
Eyelid surgeries are the aesthetic operations with the most comfortable recovery periods.
Pain: It is so minimal as to be almost non-existent. Tapes: The eyes are not bandaged shut after the surgery. Only thin tapes are placed over the sutures. The patient can see their surroundings. Social Life: Swellings begin to subside after the 3rd day. Sutures are removed on the 5th–7th day. Any bruising that occurs can be covered with makeup.
It does not correct vision problems (myopia, astigmatism). However, if sagging skin is blocking your field of vision, this ‘curtain’ will be lifted after surgery, widening your field of vision and providing relief.
The scar on the upper lid is hidden along the fold line of the lid; on the lower lid, it is hidden at the base of the eyelashes. These areas are the best healing areas on the body. After 6 months, it is almost impossible to find the scar.
No. Blepharoplasty eliminates the effects of ageing (sagging, bags). Almond eyes (canthopexy), on the other hand, change the shape of the eye by lifting the outer corner of the eye upwards. Op. Dr. Bekir Can Gümüşlü can combine these two procedures according to the patient’s wishes.
The skin and fat removed during surgery will not return. However, as the ageing process continues, it is natural for the skin to sag again over the years (10-15 years later). Nevertheless, it will never return to its former state.
In experienced hands, only excess tissue is removed, so the natural shape of the eye is not altered; it simply looks younger and fresher. Risks seen in incorrect surgeries, such as ‘round eyes’ or ‘eyes that do not close properly,’ are minimised with the protective techniques of Op. Dr. Bekir Can Gümüşlü.
