Double Eyelid Operation in Quartz Hospital

Double eyelid surgery at Quartz Hospital in Istanbul helps patients achieve a more youthful and alert appearance. The procedure, also known as blepharoplasty, focuses on removing excess skin and fat from the upper and lower eyelids. Op. Dr. Leyla Arvas performs these surgeries at JCI-accredited facilities like Acıbadem and Memorial hospitals. This approach combines specialized aesthetic skill with high international safety standards.

The Blepharoplasty Procedure

The surgery typically takes between 1.5 to 2 hours to complete. Op. Dr. Leyla Arvas uses local anesthesia to keep the patient comfortable during the process. For the upper eyelid, the incision is hidden within the natural eyelid fold. The lower eyelid incision sits just below the lashes. These placements help make any resulting scars nearly invisible once healed. During the operation, the surgeon removes extra tissue and may tighten the muscles around the eye to improve the final contour.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from eyelid surgery is relatively fast. Most patients return to their normal daily activities within 3 to 5 days. You can expect the following timeline during your healing process:

• Suture removal: Occurs 3 to 4 days after the surgery.
• Swelling reduction: Most swelling goes down within about 2 weeks.
• Activity restrictions: Avoid heavy lifting and intense sports for at least 3 weeks.

Prescribed painkillers help manage any mild discomfort after the procedure. It is important to avoid bending or lifting heavy objects early on. This helps prevent increases in blood pressure that could affect the healing site.

Long-term Outcomes

The younger look achieved through this surgery usually lasts for 7 to 8 years. Patients can extend these results by using Botox or thread lifts every 6 months to maintain the skin around the eyes. While most patients are over age 30, younger individuals with genetic eyelid drooping are also good candidates. The surgery can be repeated in the future if the skin continues to lose elasticity over time.
