What is Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a procedure that corrects imperfections of the eyelids which occur due to ageing, genetics, or environmental factors. The skin around the eyes is the thinnest on the body and is often the first area to show signs of ageing. Mr Tiryaki specialises in refining this delicate area by removing or repositioning excess skin and fat, smoothing wrinkles and reducing puffiness.
This surgical adjustment not only rejuvenates the eyes but also enhances the overall facial harmony. For the upper eyelids, the procedure involves removing skin that may droop and impair vision, while for the lower eyelids, it targets under-eye bags and creepiness, ensuring a rested and vibrant appearance. The incisions are discreetly placed along the natural contours of the eyelids, which results in virtually invisible scars once healed.

Mr Tiryaki’s Blepharoplasty offers numerous benefits, including the removal of excess skin and fat, reduction of under-eye bags and dark circles, and the enhancement of overall facial harmony. This procedure ensures a rejuvenated and naturally expressive appearance with minimal downtime.
How is Blepharoplasty Performed?
Blepharoplasty is conducted under sedation or local anaesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. Mr Tiryaki begins with a precise incision in the natural fold of the upper eyelid or just below the lashes in the lower eyelid. Through these incisions, he carefully removes excess tissue or redistributes fat to achieve a smoother, more youthful contour. The approach is customised based on individual anatomy and aesthetic goals, discussed in detail during your consultation.
The procedure can address both functional and cosmetic concerns, improving vision obstructed by drooping eyelids and enhancing facial aesthetics. For comprehensive rejuvenation, Mr Tiryaki may combine eyelid surgery with other facial procedures. The entire process typically takes from 30 minutes up to 90 minutes if both upper and lower eyelids are treated. Patients experience minimal discomfort post-surgery, with most resuming normal activities like reading and watching TV the next day.

Who Should Consider Blepharoplasty?
Ideal candidates for eyelid surgery are individuals noticing changes in their eyelids due to ageing, which may include drooping of the upper eyelids, and/or puffinessor bags under the eyes. It is also beneficial for those with hereditary eyelid issues. The procedure is suited for adults of any age who wish to correct these concerns for a refreshed and alert appearance. It is particularly effective for those whose vision is impacted by excess skin on the upper eyelids.
What are the Advantages of Eyelid Surgery?
Eyelid surgery offers significant aesthetic and functional benefits. It not only revitalises the eye area, making it look more youthful and alert but can also improve peripheral vision by removing the excess skin that droops into the line of sight. The results are long-lasting, providing a permanent solution to cosmetic concerns of the eyelids. Compared to non-surgical treatments, blepharoplasty offers a definitive correction with outcomes that naturally integrate with your facial features. The scars are well-concealed within the natural folds of the eye, making them virtually unnoticeable.
Recovery and Guidelines for Eyelid Surgery
Recovery from eyelid surgery is quick, with patients typically returning home the same day. Minor swelling and bruising may occur, but these usually subside within a week. Sutures are removed within a week after surgery, after which any residual swelling or bruising becomes easier to conceal. Patients can resume most normal activities within a few days, using sunglasses for protection and discretion. It is advised to avoid strenuous activities and direct sun exposure for several weeks post-surgery to ensure optimal healing. Sleeping with the head elevated and using ice packs can help reduce swelling during the initial recovery phase.
