The NHS describes it as surgery that changes the look of hooded or drooping eyelids and eye bags. The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) adds a second purpose: when heavy upper-lid skin hangs over the lashes, removing it can restore the upper part of your field of vision.<\/p>\n<p data-reveal><strong>Upper eyelid blepharoplasty<\/strong> follows three steps, according to the NHS:<\/p>\n<ol data-reveal>\n<li><strong>An incision along the natural eyelid crease.<\/strong> Your surgeon marks the crease first. EyeWiki (AAO) puts it at roughly 7\u20139 mm above the lash line in men and 8\u201310 mm in women, adjusted to your face.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Removal of excess skin, fat or muscle.<\/strong> Enough skin is always left for the eye to close fully: EyeWiki advises keeping at least 20 mm of skin between the lid margin and the thicker brow skin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Closure.<\/strong> The scar lies inside the natural fold of the lid, so it is usually hidden when your eyes are open.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p data-reveal><strong>Lower eyelid blepharoplasty<\/strong> treats bags and puffiness under the eyes. The surgeon makes an incision either just below the lower lashes or on the inside of the lower lid, repositions or removes the fat that forms the bags, sometimes removes a small amount of skin, and supports the muscles and tendon of the lid if needed (NHS).<\/p>\n<ul data-reveal>\n<li><strong>Transconjunctival (inside the lid):<\/strong> no visible skin scar. EyeWiki calls it one of the most popular techniques for people who have prominent fat bags but little excess skin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Transcutaneous (under the lashes):<\/strong> an incision 1\u20132 mm below the lash line, used when loose skin also needs to be removed. It can be combined with tightening of the outer corner of the lid (canthopexy) or lifting of the cheek tissue.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fat repositioning:<\/strong> instead of simply removing fat, the surgeon can move it down over the bony rim to soften a hollow &#8220;tear trough&#8221; (AAO).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-reveal><strong>Anaesthesia.<\/strong> Blepharoplasty can be done under local or general anaesthetic (NHS). Upper eyelid surgery is commonly done with a local anaesthetic injection that numbs the lids (EyeWiki); your surgeon recommends the option for you.<\/p>\n<p data-reveal><strong>Technique we use:<\/strong> <span class=\"ph\">{{Prof. Sat\u0131c\u0131&#8217;s usual techniques and instruments, e.g. scalpel, radiofrequency or laser incision; type of stitches}}<\/span>, in a fully equipped, Ministry of Health\u2013licensed operating theatre in Istanbul.<\/p><div class=\"links-row\" data-reveal><a class=\"link-arrow\" href=\"https:\/\/laseristanbulclinic.com\/en\/eyelid-surgery-turkey\/eye-bag-removal\/\">Under-eye bag removal (lower blepharoplasty) in Istanbul <svg width=\"18\" height=\"18\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#i-arrow\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<!-- Heading (Intro: heading left, text right) End -->\n\n\n<!-- Table (Table on a dark panel) Start -->\n<section class=\"panel dark\" id=\"who-is-a-good-candidate-for-blepharoplasty\"><div class=\"container-fluid px-0\"><div class=\"row g-0\"><div class=\"col-12\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"t48 sec-title\" data-reveal>Who is a good candidate for blepharoplasty?<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<p class=\"t22 sec-lead\" data-reveal>You are likely to be a good candidate for blepharoplasty if you are an adult in good general health and excess eyelid skin or fat makes you look tired, makes your lids feel heavy, or gets in the way of your vision.

With Laser Istanbul Clinic, upper blepharoplasty starts from {{\u00a3 price}}, including your examination, surgery by Prof. Dr. Ahmet Sat\u0131c\u0131, medication, follow-up checks, interpreter and coordinator. Hotel and transfers are extra. Your exact price is confirmed in writing after your free assessment.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How much does upper eyelid blepharoplasty cost in the UK?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The NHS puts the cost of blepharoplasty in the UK at \u00a32,000\u20136,000, plus consultations and follow-up care. Price-comparison data for 2025\u201326 shows UK prices for upper and lower surgery together of about $4,000\u201310,000. Eyelid surgery for appearance is not funded by the NHS.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is eyelid surgery in Turkey safe?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Eyelid surgery in Turkey can be as safe as at home when an experienced surgeon examines you properly first and operates in a properly equipped theatre. Check your surgeon's name and qualifications, where the surgery takes place, and how aftercare works once you are home. We give you all of this in writing before you pay, and your operation takes place in a fully equipped, Ministry of Health\u2013licensed operating theatre in Istanbul.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is blepharoplasty done under local anaesthetic?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Often, yes. Blepharoplasty can be done under local or general anaesthetic (NHS). With a local anaesthetic you are awake, but your lids are numb and you feel only pressure and movement. Your surgeon recommends the best option for the surgery you are having.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How long do I need to stay in Istanbul for eyelid surgery?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Plan {{eyelid stay length}} days. Many patients stay until their stitches are removed, usually 5\u20137 days after surgery, and your surgeon checks you before you fly. Bruising takes 10\u201314 days to fade, so most people plan about 2 weeks before returning to work or social events.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Will I have visible scars after blepharoplasty?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Upper lid scars sit in the natural crease of the lid, so they are usually hidden when your eyes are open. Lower lid surgery done from the inside of the lid leaves no skin scar. The NHS notes that scars may feel tight for a few months and should eventually fade to almost invisible.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How long does blepharoplasty last?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The skin and fat that are removed do not grow back, so the change is long-lasting. Your face continues to age, though, and the brow and skin can loosen again over the years. Some people choose further treatment much later.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can blepharoplasty fix droopy eyelids?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"It depends on what is drooping. If loose skin hangs over the crease, blepharoplasty removes it. If the edge of the lid itself sits too low because the lifting muscle has stretched, that is ptosis and needs ptosis surgery, sometimes at the same time. Prof. Dr. Sat\u0131c\u0131 checks this at your examination.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Does eyelid surgery hurt?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The surgery itself should not hurt, because the area is numbed. Afterwards the lids feel tight, sore and swollen for a few days; paracetamol or the painkillers you are given are usually enough (NHS). Cold compresses and keeping your head raised help.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can I have upper and lower blepharoplasty at the same time?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes.
