Refresh your appearance with one of the most effective facial rejuvenation procedures at the Bakir Clinic.
Eyelid surgery is one of the easiest and most affordable options for anyone who wishes to reverse the signs of aging, eliminate the impression of constant fatigue, and look younger. This procedure can be performed in our clinic under local anesthesia, with guaranteed fast and excellent results.
Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery or an “eye lift”, can be performed on the lower eyelids, upper eyelids, or both. Lower eyelid surgery involves removing the excess skin and fat, while upper eyelid surgery removes excess tissue in the upper eyelid.
Many of our patients opt for this operation both for aesthetic and functional reasons; droopy eyelids can be annoying and can affect our vision, as well as our appearance.
Your blepharoplasty begins with Dr. Bakir’s comprehensive evaluation of your eyelid anatomy and aging patterns. This includes assessing excess skin, fat distribution, muscle tone, and eye symmetry. The assessment also considers the relationship between your eyebrows, eyelids, and overall facial harmony. Understanding these elements allows Dr. Bakir to create a strategic plan that addresses your specific concerns while preserving your natural eye shape and expression.
Based on your assessment, Dr. Bakir designs a personalized eyelid surgery plan that determines whether upper, lower, or combined blepharoplasty will best achieve your goals. For upper eyelids, this includes precise measurement of excess skin removal; for lower eyelids, it involves determining whether skin removal, fat repositioning, or both are needed. This tailored approach ensures balanced, natural-looking rejuvenation that complements your facial features.
The blepharoplasty procedure combines technical precision with artistic vision. Dr. Bakir carefully places incisions within natural eyelid creases or inside the lower lid to minimize visible scarring. Excess skin is meticulously removed, and fat pockets are either reduced or repositioned to create a smooth, youthful contour. This expertise ensures results that appear refreshed and natural rather than tight or hollow, preserving your unique eye characteristics.
Following your blepharoplasty, the Bakir Clinic provides comprehensive guidance through your healing process. Initial recovery is relatively quick, with most patients resuming normal activities within 7-10 days as swelling and bruising subside. Dr. Bakir personally monitors your progress through scheduled follow-up appointments, ensuring optimal healing and refinement of results. Most patients are delighted to find that friends and colleagues notice their refreshed appearance without recognizing they’ve had surgery.
What distinguishes blepharoplasty at the Bakir Clinic is our focus on preserving your natural eye expression while removing signs of aging. Dr. Bakir’s approach is conservative and precise—removing enough tissue to create a noticeable improvement while avoiding the hollow or overly tight appearance that can result from excessive tissue removal. Unlike standardized techniques, we recognize that ethnic differences in eyelid structure require customized approaches. Our patients appreciate that we prioritize both aesthetic improvement and functional benefits, often enhancing peripheral vision by removing hooding that has gradually developed over time.
