What is droopy eyelid?
When viewed from the opposite side, our pupils appear to be covered with 1-2 mm eyelids. If this drooping is more than necessary, there is a droopy eyelid. This is also called ptosis. Usually the ciliated edge covers the pupil by 4-5 mm. It may even cover the visual axis in the middle. It is a condition that occurs in many more people than you can imagine.
What causes droopy eyelid?
Eyelid drooping usually occurs due to aging. As age progresses, loosening of tissues occurs. In younger people, it is observed to occur congenitally. In addition, it can also occur in cases such as accidents, paralysis, trauma and brain problems. Nerve and muscle problems in the eyelid can also cause this problem. In addition, the use of contact lenses can also cause allergies and cause droopy eyelids.

What is the treatment for droopy eyelid?
A droopy eyelid (ptosis) is a condition that can cause both aesthetic and functional problems. The treatment method is usually determined depending on the degree and cause of the droopy eyelid. In mild cases, regular check-ups and exercises that strengthen the eye muscles may be recommended, while in more advanced cases, surgical intervention may be required.
Surgical treatment usually involves strengthening the muscles that lift the eyelid or removing excess skin if necessary. This procedure can make the eyes appear more open and can also widen the visual field. The treatment is planned by a specialist ophthalmologist or plastic surgeon after a detailed examination. There is usually a short recovery period after the procedure and the results are quite satisfactory.
In order to choose the right treatment method, it is very important to have a detailed examination first. Since droopy eyelids can sometimes be a symptom of another underlying health problem, a comprehensive evaluation should be performed in such cases. This ensures the best result in terms of both aesthetics and health.
What is Eyelid Aesthetics (Blepharoplasty)?
Eyelid aesthetics, also known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure that aims to give the eye area a younger and more dynamic appearance by removing excess skin, fat tissue and muscles on the eyelids. This operation not only addresses aesthetic concerns, but also provides functional benefits by removing excess tissue that narrows the visual field.
Blepharoplasty is generally preferred for the treatment of sagging and bagging of the eyelids due to aging. However, it can also be performed at an earlier age depending on genetic factors or lifestyle. The procedure can be applied to both upper and lower eyelids and patient comfort is at the forefront as it is performed under local anesthesia.
This aesthetic operation significantly changes the overall facial expression of the person, giving a more energetic and healthy appearance. In addition, the post-operative healing process is usually fast and the scars almost completely disappear over time.
Eyelid aesthetics is an effective surgical procedure that offers solutions to both aesthetic and functional problems. Sagging and baggy eyelids can be treated not only as signs of aging, but also as a problem that affects the quality of vision. Therefore, blepharoplasty not only improves the appearance, but can also improve one’s quality of life.
Who Can Have Eyelid Aesthetics (Blepharoplasty)?
Blepharoplasty is generally applied to individuals who have significant sagging or bagging of the eyelids, who are uncomfortable with this condition and who are in good general health. Loss of elasticity in the eyelids with the aging process is one of the most common reasons for the need for this operation. In addition, people with genetically excess skin or fat accumulation around the eyes can also benefit from this procedure.
It is important that the expectations of the candidates for this operation are realistic. The surgeon has a detailed interview with the patient before the operation and provides information about the appearance after the procedure. In addition, ideal candidates for the operation are usually non-smokers and individuals without chronic health problems.
Blepharoplasty can also become a functional need. If excess skin on the eyelid restricts the visual field, this operation provides both aesthetic and visual improvement. Therefore, apart from aesthetic concerns, it can also be applied to solve problems that affect daily life.
How is Eyelid Aesthetics (Blepharoplasty) Performed?
Eyelid aesthetics is a surgical procedure that is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes an average of 1-2 hours. During the operation, the surgeon carefully removes excess skin, fat and muscle tissue from the eyelids. Since the incisions are usually made in the natural eye folds, the scars become almost unnoticeable. In lower eyelid operations, incisions are usually made under the eyelashes or on the inside of the eye.
During the procedure, a precise surgical technique is applied and the aim is to achieve a result suitable for the patient’s facial contours. At this stage, both aesthetic and functional needs are taken into consideration. The surgeon evaluates the patient’s facial structure in detail before surgery and plans the procedure accordingly.
After the operation, the patient is usually discharged on the same day. Swelling and mild bruising may be seen for the first few days, but this improves quickly. Most people can return to their social life within a week. The results are permanent for many years and increase self-confidence.
