Upper Blepharoplasty Turkey

Upper blepharoplasty suits people whose upper eyelid skin has become loose or heavy with age, causing a tired look, difficulty applying eye make-up or, in more severe cases, skin resting on the lashes and restricting the upper field of vision.

Not always. A drooping brow can push skin down onto the upper lids, making them look heavier than they are. If lifting your brow with a finger improves the hooding, a brow lift may be needed instead of, or alongside, upper blepharoplasty.

Natural Clinic lists surgery on all four eyelids at €2,900. When only the upper eyelids are treated, the exact upper blepharoplasty price is confirmed in your written plan after assessment, together with anaesthesia, transfers, an interpreter and follow-up. The price is confirmed before you travel.

Treating only the upper eyelids involves less surgery than operating on all four lids, which are priced together at €2,900. Your plan shows the price for upper lids alone so you can compare it with the four-lid option if you are considering both.

Yes. When a drooping brow and loose lid skin both contribute to hooding, the two procedures can be done together so that each part of the problem is corrected. Treating only the lids when the brow has fallen can pull the brow even lower, so brow position is assessed carefully before planning.

Upper blepharoplasty is performed under anaesthesia, so the procedure itself is comfortable. Afterwards, the eyelids may feel tight, sore or gritty for a few days, which is usually managed with simple painkillers, cold compresses and lubricating eye drops. Most people find the discomfort milder than they expected.

The incision follows the fold that already exists in your upper lid, sometimes extending a few millimetres beyond the outer corner to remove excess skin there. Because the lid folds over this line whenever your eyes are open, the healed scar is usually concealed in everyday life.

Possible risks include swelling, bruising, dry or irritated eyes, asymmetry between the two lids and, if too much skin is removed, difficulty closing the eyes completely. Careful measurement and conservative skin removal help reduce these risks. Conservative planning is safer than removing too much, since excess skin removal is difficult to correct.

Yes. Compared with most facial surgery, upper blepharoplasty is brief, because only the upper lid crease is opened, excess skin is trimmed and the wound is closed with fine stitches. Operating on the upper lids alone takes noticeably less time than treating all four eyelids.

Stitches in the upper eyelid crease are usually removed after a few days, before you fly home. Removing them promptly helps the scar heal neatly within the crease, and the appointment is scheduled as part of your stay in Istanbul.

Most patients can fly shortly after their stitches have been removed and the surgeon has checked healing. Using lubricating drops during the flight can help, as cabin air is dry and freshly operated eyelids may feel more sensitive. Wearing sunglasses also helps protect the healing eyelids from light and wind.

Most people look socially presentable around ten to fourteen days after upper blepharoplasty, once bruising has faded and the crease has settled enough to be covered with light make-up. A subtle fullness along the new fold can remain for a few months before the final crisp line is visible.

The scar in the eyelid crease is usually pink at first and fades gradually over several months. Because it sits within the natural fold, most people find it becomes almost invisible once fully matured. Protecting it from strong sunlight helps it fade evenly.

The removed skin does not grow back, so most people keep a clearer upper lid for many years. Ageing continues, however, and gradual loosening of the remaining skin or a slow drop of the brow can bring back some heaviness much later, which is why brow position is assessed as part of planning.
