Eyelid Surgery Fethiye Turkey: 2026 Costs [Blepharoplasty]

What is Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)?

Known medically as Blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery is the surgical correction of sagging skin, excess muscle tissue, and herniated fat pads in the lower and upper eyelids.

Over time, due to gravity and aging, the tissues around the eyes loosen. This condition not only causes a tired and aged appearance but excessive sagging in the upper eyelid can also narrow the visual field. In her clinic in Fethiye, Turkey, Op. Dr. Gönül Fariz performs this procedure with both an aesthetic and functional perspective, prioritizing eye health.

Types of Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty is applied to two different areas depending on the patient's needs:

• Upper Eyelid Surgery: It is the process of tightening the lid by removing the sagging excess skin and muscle tissue. Since the incision is made in the natural crease of the eyelid, no visible scar remains.

• Lower Eyelid Surgery: It is generally performed for "under-eye bags" and deep wrinkles. It is done by entering just below the eyelashes or from inside the eyelid.

The Surgery Process in Fethiye

In Fethiye, the pearl of Muğla, we offer a comfortable treatment process for both our local patients and guests coming from abroad (medical tourism). The process generally consists of these steps:

1. Oculoplastic Examination

A detailed examination by an ophthalmologist is essential. Answers are sought to questions such as "Is there dry eye?", "Is the cornea healthy?", "How much is the visual field affected?" and personalized planning is made.

2. Surgical Procedure (Painless and Comfortable)

The surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia, and the patient feels no pain. The upper lid takes an average of 45 minutes, and the lower lid takes 60 minutes. Hospitalization is not required; patients are discharged on the same day.

3. Rapid Recovery Period

The recovery process accelerates in the calm atmosphere of Fethiye. Mild swelling and bruising are normal for the first 2-3 days. Stitches are usually removed on the 7th day, and the patient can return to their social life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is eyelid surgery permanent?

Yes, blepharoplasty results are permanent for many years. However, since the aging process continues, there may be some loosening in the tissues again after 10-15 years. Nevertheless, it never goes back to its pre-surgery state.

Will there be scars after surgery?

In the upper lid, the incision is hidden in the natural fold of the eyelid. In the lower lid, it is hidden just below the lashes. Therefore, when recovery is complete, no distinct scar remains when viewed from the outside.

Why should an ophthalmologist perform this surgery?

Eyelids are very sensitive structures that protect the eye. An Ophthalmologist (Eye Specialist) is the physician who best knows and protects not only the aesthetics but also the functions of the eye (blinking, tear ducts, corneal health). Op. Dr. Gönül Fariz provides this assurance with her experience in oculoplasty.

Does surgery affect my vision?

No, this surgery is performed on the tissues around the eye, not the eye itself. It does not negatively affect vision. On the contrary, if the sagging lid obstructs the visual field, your angle of vision expands after surgery.

When can I return to work?

If you work a desk job, you can return to work after 3-4 days. If you have a more active job, you can return after the stitches are removed (approximately 1 week).
