Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
What exactly does Luxin Aesthetics' Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Lift) Surgery entail?
Due to various factors such as environmental influences and the natural aging process, individuals may experience alterations in their facial features. In such cases, plastic and cosmetic surgeries become a viable option. One notably popular procedure is Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Lift) surgery.
Over time, the muscles surrounding the eyes may weaken, leading to sagging of the upper and lower eyelids, drooping eyebrows, and the development of under-eye bags. Blepharoplasty offers a solution to these concerns. Luxin Aesthetics offers Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Lift) surgeries in Turkey, aimed at tightening the eyelids by removing excess skin, addressing natural creases, and eliminating accumulated fat from both the upper and lower eyelids. This procedure aims to reshape the eyelids to harmonize with the overall appearance of the eyes.
The surgery typically lasts approximately two hours and addresses both the upper and lower eyelids. Additionally, some patients may opt to combine Blepharoplasty with a brow lift to achieve a more comprehensive rejuvenation of their facial appearance.

Pre-Surgery Guidelines for Blepharoplasty at Luxin Aesthetics
Realistic expectations: Potential clients should have a clear understanding of what Luxin Aesthetics’ eyebrow lift procedure can achieve and maintain realistic expectations regarding the results. While the treatment can notably rejuvenate the upper face, it cannot halt the aging process or completely alter one’s appearance.
Signs of aging or sagging: Optimal candidates are individuals experiencing sagging eyebrows, horizontal forehead wrinkles, or vertical frown lines between the eyebrows. Luxin Aesthetics’ eyebrow lift procedure can effectively address these concerns, leading to a more alert and youthful appearance.
Emotional stability: Choosing to undergo cosmetic surgery can evoke various emotions. Clients must possess emotional stability and readiness for both the physical and psychological aspects of the procedure and recovery journey.
Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon is crucial to determine suitability for the procedure. The surgeon will evaluate medical history, discuss goals, and recommend the most suitable approach based on individual needs and circumstances.
Stages of Blepharoplasty with Luxin Aesthetics
There are various methods for Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Lift). While outpatient surgeries are available, Luxin Aesthetics favors the surgical approach at our clinic due to its consistent results and higher success rates. The blepharoplasty procedure involves three simple stages:
1. Anesthesia: This ensures the patient’s comfort and eliminates pain during the operation. Patients are administered either general or local anesthesia, chosen by the plastic surgeon based on individual needs.
2. Surgical incision: Precise planning of incision lines allows for scars to be concealed within the natural contours of the eyelid. For upper eyelid procedures, the surgeon tightens the area by strategically making incisions within the eyelid’s natural lines, and then removing or repositioning excess tissue.
Post-Surgery Guidelines for Blepharoplasty by Luxin Aesthetics
For a healthy and speedy recovery period, it’s crucial to adhere to specific guidelines in the days following your surgery with Luxin Aesthetics:

2. Thoroughly clean the eyelids using prescribed eye drops and ointments.
3. Avoid stress and strenuous activities for one week post-operation, as they may impede recovery.
4. Refrain from swimming for at least one week after the surgery.
5. Steer clear of intense exercises for a minimum of one week following the procedure.
6. Abstain from smoking for at least one week to support healing.
7. Resist the urge to scratch your eyes to prevent any potential harm.
8. Avoid using eye lenses for a minimum of two weeks after the surgery.
9. Wear black glasses to shield your eyelids from sun and wind exposure.
10. Maintain a position where your head is elevated higher than your chest while lying down or sleeping for several days post-operation.
11. Refrain from consuming blood thinners, including aspirin, ibuprofen, and herbal supplements, for at least one week post-operation, as they could lead to bleeding.
