Lower Eyelid Surgery: Under-Eye Bag Removal in Fethiye [2026]

What is Lower Eyelid Surgery?

Lower eyelid surgery (Lower Blepharoplasty) is a surgical procedure performed to remove fat herniations (bags), excess skin, and the tired appearance under the eyes caused by aging or genetics. At our clinic in Fethiye, we perform this surgery using "scarless" methods or skin removal techniques depending on the patient's needs.

Under-eye bags make a person look older, tired, and sleep-deprived. Op. Dr. Gönül Fariz, with her deep expertise in eye anatomy, not only removes the fat but also smooths the transition to the mid-face, providing natural rejuvenation.

Why Should You Consider Lower Eyelid Surgery?

Cosmetic products or non-surgical procedures may sometimes be insufficient. Surgery is the most effective solution in the following cases:

• If there are prominent and puffy under-eye bags

• If there is sagging and "crepe paper" wrinkles on the under-eye skin

• If the tear trough is very deep

• If you are constantly asked, "Are you tired?"

Surgical Techniques Used in Fethiye

1. Transconjunctival Approach (Scarless Method)

This method is performed through the inside of the eyelid without any incision on the skin. It is generally preferred for younger patients who have prominent fat bags but no excess skin. There is no visible scar from the outside, and recovery is very fast.

2. Subciliary Approach (Under the Lashes)

This is applied to patients with excess skin and sagging. With a very thin incision made just below the eyelashes, both excess fat tissue is reorganized, and sagging skin is tightened and removed. The scar is hidden in the lash line, making it unnoticeable when healed.

Surgery Process and Recovery

Operations performed in Fethiye are usually carried out under local anesthesia and sedation (mild sleepiness).

• Duration: Takes on average 45-60 minutes.

• Hospital Stay: Generally not required; the patient is discharged on the same day.

• Stitches: If a skin incision is made, stitches are removed after 5-7 days.

• Social Life: Bruising subsides within 1 week, and patients can return to work.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Will there be a scar after lower eyelid surgery?

In modern techniques applied by Dr. Gönül Fariz, scars are placed in hidden areas (inside the eyelid or under the lashes). There may be slight redness for the first few weeks, but it fades over time to match the skin tone.

Do under-eye bags come back?

The fat pads removed by surgery do not regenerate. However, since the aging process continues, there may be some skin loosening over the years. Nevertheless, the effect of the surgery lasts for a very long time, typically 10-15 years.

Can it be combined with almond eye surgery?

Yes, many of our patients request canthopexy (almond eye) surgery in the same session while having lower eyelid aesthetics. This way, bags are removed, and a more slanted and dynamic look is achieved.

How much is lower eyelid surgery in 2026?

Prices vary depending on the technique (fat removal only or skin tightening) and additional procedures. You can contact our clinic for the most competitive and transparent pricing in the Muğla region.

Can I have surgery in the summer?

Since Fethiye is a sunny region, we recommend that our patients who have surgery in the summer wear sunglasses and use high-factor sunscreen. As long as these rules are followed, you can have surgery in any season.
