Eyelid aesthetics (blepharoplasty) is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting sagging, puffiness, and excess skin appearance that develop over time in the upper and lower eyelids. This operation is important both aesthetically and functionally. With advancing age, the skin around the eyes loses its elasticity, the muscles loosen, and the fat tissue shifts, causing puffiness. This condition can give a person a tired, sad, or aged expression. Eyelid aesthetics rejuvenates the overall appearance of the face by eliminating these signs.
Eyes are one of the most striking areas of the human face. Aging, genetic factors, lifestyle, and environmental effects can lead to sagging, puffiness, and wrinkles in the eyelids over time. This situation not only affects the aesthetic appearance but also negatively impacts visual function. At this point, eyelid aesthetics becomes an important surgical method both functionally and aesthetically.
Op. Dr. Diclehan applies modern techniques in eyelid aesthetics, allowing his patients to achieve both a younger and more dynamic appearance as well as healthier vision.
In medical terminology, eyelid aesthetics is called blepharoplasty. It aims to correct sagging, puffiness, and excess skin that occur over time in the upper and lower eyelids through surgical methods.
The purpose of the surgery is to eliminate eyelid deformities that cause a tired and aged appearance and to give the eye area a younger and more aesthetic look. In addition, by removing excess tissues that narrow the visual field, vision quality is improved.
Sagging and puffiness in the eyelids give a person a tired and older expression. Aesthetic eyelid surgery adds youth and vitality to facial features.
Advanced eyelid sagging narrows the visual field and negatively affects visual function. This is especially evident in the upper eyelid.
Eyelid aesthetics increases a person’s self-confidence. Having a more dynamic look also creates positive effects in social relationships.
