How Do Upper and Lower Eyelid Problems Begin?

The face, which symbolizes beauty in people, is extremely important. One of the most significant areas of the face, where individuals express themselves and gain confidence, is the eye region.

The beauty and care of the eye area affect a person’s outward appearance. Problems and issues around the eyes can reduce a person’s self-confidence.

The biggest problems in the eye area are the issues that occur in the upper and lower eyelids. Wrinkles and fat accumulation that develop with aging cause deformities in both the upper and lower regions of the eyes. In addition, naturally occurring health problems or hormonal imbalances can also lead to deformities in these areas. These issues can be corrected with eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), which reshapes the eyelids according to the patient’s preference and eliminates the appearance that causes discomfort.

The eyes are one of the first features people notice and one of the primary focal points of the body. The care we give to our eyes and our efforts to make them look attractive can sometimes inadvertently cause damage. Over time, this damage can appear as sagging in the eyelids and under the eyes. Such eye-related issues affect outward appearance and can create unwanted problems in both women and men. Sagging in the eyelids can impact social life and also affect self-confidence. Eyelid surgery offers a fast, scar-free, and permanent solution to correct these sagging issues.

What is Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting issues in the upper and lower eyelids, such as fat accumulation and wrinkles, to improve the overall appearance. The procedure begins with identifying the areas around the eyes that cause discomfort, followed by surgical intervention or the use of filler materials to correct the affected regions. Because anesthesia is administered during the operation, patients do not feel pain, making the procedure relatively easy and comfortable. Moreover, the recovery period for eyelid surgery is short, and it typically leaves no visible scars.
