Blepharoplasty is a short-recovery plastic surgery procedure that corrects sagging upper eyelid skin and lower eyelid fat bags or laxity. Experienced Team aims for natural periorbital rejuvenation.

Indications

Typical candidates for blepharoplasty:

Upper Eyelid Sagging (Dermatochalasis)

Age-related upper eyelid skin laxity — may even narrow visual field.

Lower Eyelid Fat Bags

Fat herniation — under-eye puffy appearance.

Lower Eyelid Skin Laxity

Age-related fine wrinkles and elasticity loss.

Asian Blepharoplasty

Double eyelid creation — specialised technique for Asian patients.

Transconjunctival

Inside-eyelid incision — no external scar, fat-only removal.

Combined Upper + Lower

Complete periorbital rejuvenation.

Brow Lift Combined

Upper eyelid + browlift — deeper upper-face rejuvenation.

Tear-Trough Correction

Fat repositioning or combined filler for tear-trough deformity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does blepharoplasty take?
Single eyelid: 45-60 minutes, upper + lower: 90 minutes. A quick procedure.
Type of anaesthesia?
Local anaesthesia + sedation is standard. No general anaesthesia needed.
Will the scar be visible?
No, upper eyelid scar is hidden in the natural eyelid crease. Lower eyelid via transconjunctival has no external scar.
How long does result last?
10-15 years of significant effect. Aging continues but you maintain a 10-year younger appearance.
Can it be repeated?
A second procedure may be needed 10-15 years later, mainly for upper eyelid.
Is it done for tear-trough?
Tear-trough usually treated with fat repositioning or HA filler. Can be combined with surgery.
Is vision affected?
Excessively sagging upper eyelid can narrow visual field — blepharoplasty provides both aesthetic and functional benefit.
Can it be done with laser?
Laser blepharoplasty is available — less bleeding, faster recovery. Offered as option at TSHEALTH.
Blepharoplasty and all aesthetic and surgical procedures are planned and personally performed by Op. Dr. Selman Taşkın, Specialist in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery. A graduate of İstanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine with reconstructive microsurgery experience at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital (Taiwan), Dr. Taşkın's expertise is the foundation of safe, natural results.
Excess skin and fat pockets on the upper and/or lower eyelids are removed to give the eyes a fresher, more rested look; I plan to your eye structure.
It depends on need; the upper lid may have drooping and the lower lid fat bags and under-eye laxity, and we decide together at the examination which is required.
The incisions are hidden in the lid crease and along the lash line; the scars become almost invisible over time.
There is mild swelling and bruising in the first days and stitches are usually removed at 5–7 days; most people return to social life within 1 week.
My aim is to correct the tired look while preserving the natural expression of the gaze; with measured tissue removal I provide a rested, not 'operated', appearance.
It is usually done under local anaesthesia, with sedation if needed, and you feel no pain; the mild tightness afterwards eases with simple measures.
Yes; if low brows give the eye area a tired look, a brow lift together with blepharoplasty provides a more integrated result.
Adults with upper-lid drooping, lower-lid bagging or a tired eye look, in suitable general health, are suitable; I assess suitability at the examination.
