  • Ectropion – the mucous membrane of the eyelids is turned outward;
  • Exophthalmos – forward displacement of the eyeballs;
  • Chalazion – chronic inflammation of the gland at the edge of the eyelid;
  • Dry eye syndrome – damage to the conjunctiva, which reduces the production of tears;
  • Hernia of the eyelid – overgrown fatty formations under the skin.

Patient was treated for Hair transplantation in the clinic MedHair Clinic
Recommend

When I was 35, I got a bald head. My doctor advised me to get a hair transplant. Through the MedTour website, I went to the MedHair clinic, where I underwent a sapphire hair transplant. Now I don’t look 45 years old, as before the transplant, but even younger than my real age. I am satisfied, thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions

1
Who is eligible for blepharoplasty?

Doctors usually perform plastic surgery on the eyelids for patients over 40 years old. This is due to natural age-related changes in the skin and muscles in people of this age group.

Sometimes surgery is indicated for patients to treat specific diseases.

Eyelid correction can also be done to change the appearance when the patient is not satisfied with his eye cut.

1

World’s leading plastic surgeons take on the solution of any aesthetic imperfections on the eyelids. Doctors are especially attentive to patients who have concomitant diseases:

  • Blood clotting disorders;
  • Increased blood pressure or intraocular pressure;
  • Diabetes;
  • Oncology.

In case a patient has any chronic diseases, a preliminary consultation with a doctor is required to decide on the possibility of performing blepharoplasty.

Which country to choose for blepharoplasty?

Turkey is one of the leading countries for plastic surgery. There are more than 30 clinics specializing in eyelid correction of any degree of complexity.

Spain, Czech Republic, Germany and South Korea are countries with high ratings of hospitals where blepharoplasty is successfully performed.

Foreign plastic surgery clinics have the highest level of service and comfort for patients.

1
How to choose a doctor for eyelid surgery?

The doctor’s experience, his cooperation with leading clinics and patient reviews are important when choosing a specialist.

In some medical centers, the price includes additional services for the patient – accommodation and meals, transfer, translation services, and more.

1
What preparation should the patient do before surgery?

Plastic surgery has the same basic requirements for patient preparation as for other types of surgery. The patient needs to undergo a basic examination and get a preliminary consultation with a doctor.

Before performing a surgery on the eyelids, it is necessary to exclude:

  • Sunbathing to get a tan;
  • Physical activity, at least one day before the procedure;
  • No alcohol and smoking 2 weeks before the intervention.

Methods of blepharoplasty surgery and the rehabilitation period

In order for the eyelid surgery to be successful, the patient has to go through a preliminary consultation with a doctor. Foreign plastic surgeons responsibly approach the study of the patient’s history – the presence of chronic diseases, complaints about the condition of the eyelids. The doctor will diagnose and give recommendations for the surgery in order to avoid negative consequences.

The main methods of plastic surgery on the eyelids

The patient can undergo:

  • Canthoplasty – a change in the natural shape of the eyes (usually of the Asian type);
  • Canthopexy – a surgery to raise and fix the outer corners of the eyes;
  • Transconjunctival blepharoplasty – removal of a hernia of the eyelids (while the tissues heal quickly without leaving scars on the skin);
  • Circular blepharoplasty – a combined operation on the upper and lower eyelids;
  • Plastic surgery of the upper or lower eyelid.

Methods for performing blepharoplasty in the world`s leading clinics

Plastic surgeons can use one of three options for the operation:

  • Classic – the surgeon makes an incision on the outside with a scalpel;
  • Transconjunctival – the doctor, instead of an incision, makes a puncture from the side of the mucous membrane of the eye;
  • Combined – the doctor uses both methods of surgical correction of the eyelids.

Postoperative period

The rehabilitation period takes on average 10-15 days. In the first 2-3 days after surgery, the patient may have severe swelling and bruising in the area of ​​the intervention. This is normal, because the skin around the eyes is delicate and sensitive.

Depending on the method of blepharoplasty, doctors give individual recommendations for the care of the eyelids for the rehabilitation period.

During the first two weeks after surgery, patients should not sunbathe, do sports and or strain the eyes. Compliance with the doctor’s instructions will help to shorten the healing period of the tissues and the patient will return to the usual way of life way faster.
