Periorbital Aesthetic Surgery

The eyes are the most striking part of our face. The eye area is also the first place where our emotions, energy, and age are reflected. However, over time, aging, stress, lack of sleep, sunlight, smoking, and genetic factors can cause this delicate area to deteriorate.
Sagging skin, dark circles, wrinkles, under-eye bags, and a tired expression may appear — making a person look older, more exhausted, and unhappy than they actually are.

Periorbital (eye area) aesthetic procedures aim to eliminate these signs and restore a younger, fresher, and more vibrant appearance.
Eye aesthetics and facial rejuvenation specialist Op. Dr. Diclehan emphasizes natural outcomes by saying:
The goal of eye area aesthetics is to refresh the facial expression while preserving natural beauty. The best approach is rejuvenation without changing the person’s essence.”

What Is Eye Area Aesthetic Surgery?

Eye area aesthetics refers to surgical and non-surgical procedures performed to correct deformities around the eyes.
These techniques provide both aesthetic and functional improvement.

They are performed to

  • Remove under-eye bags
  • Reduce wrinkles
  • Correct eyelid sagging
  • Tighten the skin and improve tone irregularities
  • Lighten under-eye discoloration

Op. Dr. Diclehan highlights that every patient requires a personalized plan because each eye area ages differently.

Why Does the Eye Area Age?

The skin around the eyes is the thinnest and most delicate skin on the body  therefore signs of aging appear here first.

Main causes include:

  • Aging: Loss of elasticity and weakening of muscles
  • Genetic factors: Early under-eye bags or sagging in some people
  • Facial expressions: Repeated movements such as smiling or frowning
  • Sun exposure: UV radiation damages collagen
  • Smoking and alcohol: Slow cellular renewal, causing dullness and sagging
  • Stress and sleep deprivation: Increase darkness and swelling

Op. Dr. Diclehan notes:
Aging around the eyes is inevitable — but with the right interventions, the clock can be turned back for many years.

Who Is Eye Area Aesthetic Treatment Suitable For?

Eye area aesthetics are suitable for both men and women.
They can be applied from around the age of 30, when the first signs of aging begin.
Younger patients usually prefer non-surgical methods, whereas combined surgical procedures may be needed at older ages.

They are recommended in cases of

  • Eyelid sagging or puffiness
  • Under-eye hollowness or dark circles
  • Fine wrinkles
  • Tired or sad facial expression
  • Loss of volume around the eyes

Before treatment, Op. Dr. Diclehan carefully evaluates skin type, age, and facial symmetry and creates a personalized plan.

Types of Eye Area Aesthetic Procedures

Eye area aesthetics are divided into two main categories  surgical and non-surgical.
Sometimes, both approaches are combined to achieve more natural and long-lasting results.

Surgical Eye Area Procedures

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

One of the most commonly performed procedures.
Excess skin on the upper lid is removed; fatty tissue causing bags in the lower lid is reshaped.
This both rejuvenates the appearance and widens the visual field.

Op. Dr. Diclehan states
After blepharoplasty, the patient’s expression looks up to 10 years younger but maintaining naturalness is crucial.”

Brow Lift

Corrects drooping brows that contribute to a tired appearance.

Temporal Lift (Temple Lift)

Raises the outer brow slightly, opening the eye area and softening wrinkles.

Non-Surgical Eye Area Aesthetics

Botox

Reduces crow’s feet lines and refreshes the expression. Effects last 4–6 months.

Dermal Fillers

Correct under-eye hollowness and dark circles, restoring volume with hyaluronic acid–based fillers.

Laser Skin Rejuvenation

Improves fine lines, pigmentation, and tone irregularities.

Mesotherapy & PRP

Injects vitamin, amino acid, and regenerative serums to refresh the skin.

Op. Dr. Diclehan notes that early use of minimally invasive treatments can delay the need for surgery for many years.

How Are Eye Area Aesthetic Procedures Performed?

Depending on the method, procedures may be performed under local anesthesia, sedation, or without anesthesia.
Surgical operations take 1–2 hours, while non-surgical procedures last 20–40 minutes.

Most patients return home the same day.
Recovery time varies from a few days to a few weeks depending on the treatment.

Recovery After Eye Area Aesthetics

Mild swelling and bruising are normal after surgery. Cold compresses help ease this period.

Typical recovery timeline

  • Days 1–3: Swelling and edema are most visible
  • Week 1: Bruising decreases; stitches are removed
  • Week 2: Return to social life
  • Month 1: Natural final appearance develops

Op. Dr. Diclehan warns:
Post-treatment care is as important as the procedure itself. Do not rub your eyes and always protect the area from the sun.”

Non-surgical procedures have much faster recovery — most patients return to daily life the next day.

The Importance of Natural Results

The goal is subtle rejuvenation  not an exaggerated or artificial look.
The expression should remain the same  just fresher and healthier.

As Op. Dr. Diclehan explains:
The eye area reflects the soul of the face. Over-lifting the lids or brows disrupts natural expression  balance is the essence of beauty.”

Longevity of Results

  • Surgical procedures: last 8–10 years
  • Non-surgical procedures: last 6 months to 2 years

Longevity increases with:

  • Sun protection
  • Reducing smoking and alcohol
  • Maintaining skin moisture
  • Healthy diet
  • Regular sleep

Post-Procedure Care

Patients should:

  • Avoid pressure on the eye area
  • Avoid makeup during the first week
  • Use prescribed drops regularly
  • Avoid excessive heat exposure
  • Pause heavy exercise for 2 weeks
  • Attend all follow-up appointments

Op. Dr. Diclehan closely monitors recovery with customized aftercare protocols.

Benefits of Eye Area Aesthetic Treatment

  • Younger and fresher expression
  • Tightening and rejuvenation
  • Makeup appears cleaner and more defined
  • Tired look disappears
  • Visual field may improve (in upper lid sagging)
  • Increased confidence and emotional wellbeing

Op. Dr. Diclehan states:
Eye aesthetics are not only a physical transformation they also renew psychological wellbeing.

Factors Affecting Cost

Costs vary according to

  • Surgical vs. non-surgical methods
  • Scope of treatment
  • Surgeon’s experience
  • Technology and clinic quality
  • Follow-up and support services

He emphasizes:
The eye area is the most delicate part of the face — quality, safety, and natural results always come before price.”

Eye area aesthetics rejuvenate facial expression, restoring vitality and depth to the gaze.
When planned correctly and performed by an expert, both surgical and non-surgical procedures are highly safe and effective  and results remain long-lasting with proper care.

With extensive experience, Op. Dr. Diclehan creates personalized analyses for each patient to achieve natural, aesthetic, and balanced outcomes.
It should be remembered that eye area aesthetics are not just cosmetic  they are an art form that restores the youthful character of the face.
