Lower Blepharoplasty Turkey

No matter how much you sleep or rest, do you still see a “tired, sleep-deprived, and exhausted” expression when you look in the mirror? For many of our international patients, the main culprit behind this aged appearance is the lower eyelid fat pads that herniate outward over time due to gravity. While many try to hide these under-eye bags with concealers or temporary dermal fillers, the only permanent and flawless solution for this physical accumulation of tissue is Lower Eyelid Surgery (Lower Blepharoplasty).

Lower Blepharoplasty Procedure

• Step 1: After initial contact online, you will be asked to send clear photos of your eye area. Dr. Ali Mezdeği will review the images to determine your suitability for the surgery. If you are a suitable candidate, an appointment will be scheduled.
• Step 2: When you arrive in Istanbul, our vehicles will pick you up and take you to your hotel. On the day of the surgery, you will be brought to the hospital. After a detailed examination, the surgical markings will be made. The surgery will begin after anesthesia is administered.
• Step 3: A small incision is made just below your lower eyelashes. The fat pads under the eyes are redistributed to create a smooth, even appearance. You will either stay at the hospital for one night or return to your hotel the same day.
• Step 4: Three days after the surgery, your bandages will be removed. If there are any dressings or stitches that need to be taken out, they will be removed. Your under-eye area will be shown in its final form. Bruising and swelling may occur for the first 15 days, but don’t worry—it’s temporary. The final results of the surgery will be visible after one month. You can return to your country on the 4th or 5th day.

During this period, you are free to explore Istanbul. As long as you protect the surgical area, there should be no issues.

Note: We do not remove the fat pads under the eyes. Our technique involves redistributing the fat, which creates smoothness. Removing the fat can lead to hollowness under the eyes, which is why we avoid it.

Lower blepharoplasty recovery day by day

• Day 1: There may be slight swelling and bruising. You might also feel tightness in your lower eyelids. This is normal, so just continue to rest.
• Day 3: While the swelling and bruising may have reduced, they can still be present—don’t worry. Your doctor might recommend a cream or eye drops. Try to avoid using devices with bright screens, such as phones, computers, and TVs.
• Day 7: You can return to work. Avoid direct sunlight and wind exposure. You may consider wearing sunglasses. Do not consume alcohol or smoke during the first week, as it can slow down the healing process.
• Day 14: The swelling and bruising should no longer be visible. After two weeks, you can start wearing makeup to cover any remaining bruising or swelling.
• 4-6 Weeks: Any traces of the surgery should be gone, and it will be hard to tell that you had the procedure. You can comfortably shower and dry your face with a towel. By now, you should have fully returned to your pre-surgery routine. That’s the goal.

Lower Eyelid Surgery in Istanbul

Our clinic is located in Nişantaşı, a prime area in Istanbul. It is very close to popular attractions like Taksim Square, Sultanahmet Square, and the Hagia Sophia Mosque. Estetort Clinic is situated on the European side of Istanbul, with daily flights available to other tourist destinations such as Antalya and Bodrum.

Why Removing Fat Pads is a Strategic Mistake

One of the biggest strategic errors in lower eyelid aesthetics is completely excising the fat tissue and removing it from the body. Op. Dr. Ali Mezdeği strongly emphasizes that his fundamental approach is built on preserving the fat pads.

When this fat tissue is unnecessarily removed, it creates an undesirable hollowing under the eyes, which ironically gives the patient a tired, aged, and hollowed expression all over again. Instead, the correct approach is to reorganize the herniated fat pads by placing them into areas lacking volume (such as the tear trough), permanently restoring the region’s smoothness and natural plumpness.

Scarless Incision: Millimetric Precision at the Lash Line

Naturally, the biggest concern for our international patients undergoing a facial procedure is the potential for visible scarring. In lower eyelid surgery, this concern is entirely eliminated through flawless anatomical knowledge.

The surgical incision is placed exactly 1 to 2 millimeters below your lower eyelashes. Because this area falls perfectly within the eye’s natural shadow line, it leaves absolutely no noticeable scar once healed. Closed with ultra-fine, dissolving hidden sutures, our patients never experience any distress regarding visible marks.

The Almond Eye Effect for Dynamic Looks

Another critical step in erasing a tired gaze is the angle given to the outer corner of the eye (the lateral canthus). During lower eyelid surgery, Op. Dr. Ali Mezdeği prefers to anchor the outer junction of the lashes slightly upward, creating a very subtle, sweet almond eye (cat-eye) contour.

While downward-drooping eyelids make a person look sad and drained, this slight upward lift grants the patient a much more vibrant, fresh, and energetic expression. This technique is safely performed whether you are having only lower eyelid surgery or a combined upper and lower procedure.

Recovery Timeline for International Patients

When only the lower eyelid is addressed, the operation takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours. Afterward, thin, butterfly-wing-like strip bandages are applied. These do not cover your eyes or restrict your vision in any way.

• The First 3 Days: These thin tapes remain around your eyes for about 3 days. To minimize swelling in your hotel room, simply apply the cold compresses as we recommend.

• End of Day 3: You will visit our clinic where Dr. Mezdeği will remove the bandages completely painlessly.

• Flying Home: Once the tapes are removed on the 3rd day, you are cleared to fly back to your home country safely and comfortably.

Can Lower and Upper Eyelid Surgeries Be Combined?

One of the most frequently asked questions is whether the aging signs on both the upper and lower eyelids can be resolved in a single session. To completely erase a tired facial expression, Op. Dr. Ali Mezdeği often recommends performing combined upper and lower eyelid aesthetics.

Addressing only the lower bags might leave a feeling of “incomplete” rejuvenation if the upper eyelid skin continues to sag. Performing both surgeries simultaneously does not prolong your recovery or increase risks. Instead, with a single anesthesia session and the same 1-week resting period, it provides holistic and flawless rejuvenation for your entire eye area.

Anesthesia and Comfort: Will I Feel Pain?

Lower eyelid surgery, especially the meticulous repositioning of fat pads, requires high surgical precision. Therefore, your comfort and experiencing zero pain is our top priority.

The procedure is performed under sedation (relaxing medications given intravenously) supported by local anesthesia, or under general anesthesia if the patient prefers. Whichever you choose, you will feel absolutely nothing during the operation. Any mild soreness post-surgery is highly temporary and easily managed with simple painkillers.
