Eyelid aesthetic surgery, medically known as blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure performed to remove excess skin, muscle, or fat tissue around the eyes.
It is preferred by both men and women, as sagging, puffiness, and a tired expression around the eyes are among the most noticeable signs of aging.
As of 2025, eyelid surgery is performed much more safely and efficiently thanks to advanced surgical techniques. However, costs vary depending on several personal and technical factors.
Without stating a specific price, it can be said that the most important elements determining the cost are the scope of the procedure and the experience of the surgeon performing it.
Eye and aesthetic surgery specialist Op. Dr. Diclehan explains
“Eyelid surgery is not only a rejuvenation procedure it is also a functional operation. Patients not only look younger, but their visual field may also improve.”
Eyelid surgery aims to correct sagging, puffiness, discoloration, and wrinkles that develop around the eyes over time.
Aging, genetics, smoking, stress, sunlight, and lack of sleep may cause deformation of the eyelids. In some cases, this does not only affect appearance — it may also narrow the visual field.
Op. Dr. Diclehan notes:
“When the upper eyelid droops, the person not only looks older, but the eyelid can also cast a shadow over the visual field. Therefore, surgery improves both appearance and comfort of life.”
When performed in harmony with a person’s facial structure, eyelid surgery refreshes and rejuvenates the expression.
Although typically preferred after age 35, it may also be performed at younger ages due to genetic factors. Surgery is recommended when
Op. Dr. Diclehan emphasizes that every patient should receive a personalized treatment plan based on facial structure, eyelid anatomy, and skin quality.
The procedure is usually done under local anesthesia and lasts 45–90 minutes on average.
In the upper eyelid, excess skin is removed. In the lower eyelid, fatty tissue causing bags is reshaped.
Incisions are placed along the natural eyelid crease so that scars remain hidden.
Stitches are usually removed after 5–7 days, and recovery is generally completed within a few weeks.
According to Op. Dr. Diclehan, modern surgical techniques minimize bleeding risk and protect eye tissues while achieving a natural appearance.
Upper Eyelid Surgery
Sagging occurs due to aging or genetics. This may even narrow the visual field.
Excess skin and muscle tissue are removed, and the eyelid is reshaped.
Op. Dr. Diclehan states
“After upper eyelid surgery, not only the face appears younger the visual field also widens.”
Bags and dark circles under the eyes become more prominent with age. This creates a tired look.
Surgery removes or redistributes excess fat and tightens the skin providing both functional and aesthetic improvement.
Recovery is generally comfortable and varies from person to person.
Mild swelling or bruising may occur during the first few days and typically decreases within 5–7 days.
Op. Dr. Diclehan summarizes the process
Using prescribed creams and drops helps reduce swelling and bruising.
As of 2025, eyelid surgery prices vary based on several factors:
Whether only the upper eyelid or both upper and lower eyelids are treated affects the cost.
Laser-assisted surgery and classical scalpel techniques may differ in pricing.
According to Op. Dr. Diclehan:
“Laser-assisted procedures reduce bleeding and shorten recovery time.”
Success depends largely on the surgeon’s expertise. Because the eye area is highly delicate, surgery must be performed by a specialist eye surgeon.
Op. Dr. Diclehan combines long-term experience with personalized planning to achieve both aesthetic and functional balance.**
Technological infrastructure, sterilization standards, and material quality also affect cost.
Some clinics include postoperative care and follow-up appointments in the service package.
In 2025, eyelid surgery has become one of the most preferred cosmetic operations thanks to natural-looking results and short recovery time.
Technological developments allow minimally invasive techniques and rapid healing.
New-generation sutures make scars almost invisible.
Most patients notice:
According to Op. Dr. Diclehan:
“The aim is not to change the person — but to reveal their natural beauty.”
For optimal healing:
Op. Dr. Diclehan provides each patient with a personalized aftercare plan and follows the process closely.
Eyelid surgery results are long-lasting typically 8–10 years.
However, natural aging continues over time.
Healthy lifestyle choices, avoiding smoking, and good skincare help prolong results.
Will there be visible scars?
Incisions are hidden within natural eyelid creases, so scars become barely noticeable.
Is the procedure painful?
Discomfort is minimal due to local anesthesia.
When can I return to work?
Usually within 7–10 days.
Is eyelid surgery permanent?
Yes — results last for many years, aside from normal aging.
Who may not be suitable?
Those with uncontrolled diabetes, bleeding disorders, or severe dry eye may need to postpone treatment.
Eyelid aesthetic surgery is one of the most preferred procedures in 2025 due to its functional and cosmetic benefits.
Although costs vary by patient, the most important factor is having the surgery performed by an experienced and qualified specialist under safe conditions.
Specialist Op. Dr. Diclehan approaches eyelid surgery not only as a cosmetic procedure but also as a treatment that enhances quality of life and facial vitality.
With the right technique, sterile surgical environment, and careful recovery, eyelid surgery provides a young, fresh, and natural appearance that can last for many years.
