Eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty is a procedure to remove puffiness, excess skin, wrinkles, and drooping eyelids. In fact, the most common use of eyelid surgery is in eye rejuvenation. In general, two factors, aging and heredity, can cause drooping eyelids, both of which can be corrected with blepharoplasty. Of course, eyelid surgery is not always cosmetic and sometimes it is therapeutic. In fact, sometimes drooping eyelids can make them so heavy that it is difficult to keep the eyes fully open, thus blocking people’s vision.
One of the most important factors determining the cost of blepharoplasty is the characteristics of the patient’s eyelids. The degree of drooping of the eyelids, the degree of wrinkles, the amount of excess skin and fat, the need for upper or lower eyelid surgery or both, etc. are among the factors that cause the cost of blepharoplasty to vary from person to person.
On the other hand, in addition to eyelid surgery, there may be a need for other cosmetic procedures that the doctor prefers to be performed together in order to save on the patient’s costs. These cosmetic procedures include eyebrow fixation, eyebrow lift, lacrimal gland fixation, fat grafting, Botox, etc. In fact, by performing cosmetic procedures related to the eye and eyebrow area at once, the operating room cost is calculated only once; however, in this case, the surgery time increases.

Another factor that affects the cost of eyelid surgery is the technique used in the surgery. For example, laser blepharoplasty, plasma jet technique, and surgical technique are all different and require different costs. Laser blepharoplasty is used to reduce puffiness around the eyes or to make a surgical incision. Plasma jet technique causes superficial burns, which causes stretching of the eyelids. However, it can be said that surgical technique is much more effective and useful than the aforementioned methods in most cases.

When should blepharoplasty be performed for drooping eyelids?
People over the age of 35 or those with a family history of drooping eyelids are the most likely candidates for eyelid surgery. Eyelid surgery is performed for the following purposes:
- Correction of drooping upper and lower eyelids
- Removing excess fat that accumulates under the eyes in the form of puffiness
- Smoothing fine wrinkles in the upper or lower eyelids
- Helping to improve vision because in some cases, drooping eyelids can impair the field of vision.
- Beauty of the face and eyes
Who cannot have eyelid surgery?
It is recommended that the following people not undergo blepharoplasty and that it be performed under the advice of a doctor:
- People with an uncontrolled disease, such as diabetes
- Dry eyes
- History of previous eye surgeries
- Having an inflammatory skin condition such as eczema or psoriasis
- Unrealistic expectations of surgery
What are the benefits of eyelid surgery?
Some of the benefits of this method include:
Facial rejuvenation: One of the main reasons people choose eyelid surgery is to restore a more youthful appearance. This surgery can help reduce wrinkles around the eyes and across the forehead, creating a smoother, more youthful face.
- Improves field of vision: Drooping eyelids and excess skin can affect a person’s field of vision. Blepharoplasty can correct these problems and provide a person with better vision.
- Increased self-confidence: By improving the appearance of the eyelids and the entire face, people may feel better about their appearance, which can significantly help increase their self-confidence.
How is eyelid surgery performed?
Eyelid surgery usually takes less than 2 hours. If you decide to have surgery on both eyelids, the plastic surgeon will start with the upper eyelid surgery. Ultimately, the following will be performed:
- Upper eyelid surgery is performed by making an incision around the natural crease of the eyelid. This allows the surgeon to remove excess fat and skin with a scalpel, realign the skin edges, and suture the wound.
- Lower eyelid surgery begins with an incision under the eyelashes (1 to 2 mm). Excess skin and fatty tissue are removed. Sometimes no skin is removed. This depends on the amount of fatty tissue under the eye. The incision line will fade after a short time.
- Laser-assisted eyelid surgery involves using a cautery device to cut the skin, remove excess tissue, and stop bleeding in small vessels that bleed during surgery. The amount of blood loss is very low with this procedure.
- Some doctors use eye ointments during surgery to prevent dry eyes, which can lead to temporary blurred vision in some people.
