Lower eyelid aesthetics (Lower Blepharoplasty) is performed to remove under-eye bags and skin sagging caused by aging and genetic factors. Op. Dr. Görkem Çalışkan erases the tired expression by removing the herniation in the fat pads supporting the eye contour and excess skin. Thanks to this operation, you will have a younger, more vigorous, and brighter look.
Lower Eyelid Aesthetics
How Does the Surgery Process Work with Op. Dr. Görkem Çalışkan?
The surgery process takes an average of 60-90 minutes under local anesthesia or sedation. Depending on your needs, excess fat and skin tissue are removed through incisions made at the base of the eyelashes or from the inside of the eyelid (scarless).
If there is a hollow in the area we call the tear trough, the removed fat can be transferred to this area. Thus, in the same session, you both get rid of the bags and fill your under-eye hollows.
How Long is the Recovery Process?
After the surgery, there will be very fine, non-bothersome stitches at the base of your eyelashes. These stitches are usually removed within 5 days or dissolve on their own. Compared to the upper eyelid, slightly more edema and bruising may be seen. However, these effects completely disappear in an average of 10 days, allowing you to return to your normal social life.
Is Under-Eye Bag Surgery a Permanent Solution?
Lower eyelid aesthetics successfully and permanently corrects existing bagging and sagging. However, since the aging process continues, slight loosening may occur in the following years. Regular sleep and avoiding smoking greatly increase the permanence and efficiency of the surgery.
Will There Be a Scar After Surgery?
In the technique performed from the base of the eyelashes, a very thin, inconspicuous scar remains, and this scar returns to your skin color within 6-12 months and becomes completely faint. If you do not have excess skin, Dr. Görkem Çalışkan performs the procedure from the inner part of the eyelid (transconjunctival). In this way, there is no scar visible from the outside.
What Should Be Considered After Surgery?
It is very important to use sunglasses to protect from the sun for the first 2 weeks. To prevent possible dry eyes, you should regularly use artificial tears and antibiotic drops recommended by your doctor. Although rarely, a downward pull may be seen in the lower eyelid; this situation returns to normal in a short time with special massage techniques.
Who Can Have Their Under-Eye Bags Removed?
Under-eye bags can also appear at young ages due to genetic reasons, so there is no strict age limit for surgery. Anyone who is bothered by under-eye bags that make them look tired and old and is deemed suitable for surgery as a result of the examination can safely have this aesthetic procedure done.
