Eyelid Surgery: Rejuvenate Your Look with Dr. Eda Horoz
Your eyes are the most expressive feature of your face, reflecting emotions, energy, and youthfulness. However, sagging eyelids, puffiness, and wrinkles can make you appear tired, older, or less vibrant. Eyelid Surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a transformative procedure that restores the youthful vitality of your eyes. Under the meticulous care of Dr. Eda Horoz, a leading specialist in facial aesthetics, you can achieve stunning, natural-looking results that enhance your beauty and confidence.
What is Eyelid Surgery?
Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is a cosmetic procedure designed to address excess skin, fat, and muscle around the eyelids. It can improve the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on your needs. This procedure is not only aesthetic but also functional, as it can correct vision obstruction caused by sagging upper eyelids.
Key Concerns Eyelid Surgery Addresses
Eyelid surgery effectively treats the following issues:
- Drooping Upper Eyelids: Creates a more open, refreshed look and improves vision by removing excess skin and fat.
- Under-Eye Bags: Eliminates puffiness and bulges caused by fat deposits.
- Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Smooths the skin around the eyes for a youthful appearance.
- Sagging Lower Eyelids: Tightens lax skin that exposes the whites of the eyes.
- Tired or Aged Appearance: Restores vibrancy and energy to your overall look.
Types of Eyelid Surgery: A Detailed Guide
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a highly customizable procedure designed to address a variety of concerns related to the upper and lower eyelids. Each type of eyelid surgery targets specific issues and is tailored to enhance the patient’s natural beauty while maintaining harmony with their facial features. Below is an in-depth explanation of the four main types of eyelid surgery:
1. Upper Eyelid Surgery
What It Addresses:
Upper eyelid surgery is ideal for patients dealing with sagging or drooping eyelids caused by excess skin, fat, or weakened muscles. These issues can result in a tired or aged appearance and, in severe cases, obstruct vision.
Procedure Details:
Incision Placement:
The incision is made along the natural crease of the upper eyelid, ensuring that scars are virtually invisible once healed.
Excess Skin Removal:
Overhanging or redundant skin is carefully removed to eliminate the drooping effect.
Fat Repositioning or Removal:
Bulging fat deposits are either removed or redistributed to restore a smooth contour.
Muscle Adjustment:
Weak or stretched muscles are tightened, enhancing the eyelid’s appearance and function.
Benefits:
- Restores a smoother, more youthful upper eyelid contour.
- Improves vision obstructed by overhanging skin.
- Creates a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
Who It’s For:
Patients experiencing:
- Drooping or hooded eyelids.
- Vision impairment due to excess skin.
- A tired or aged look caused by sagging eyelids.
2. Lower Eyelid Surgery
What It Addresses:
Lower eyelid surgery focuses on issues below the eyes, such as puffiness, under-eye bags, wrinkles, and sagging skin. These concerns are often caused by aging, genetics, or lifestyle factors.
Procedure Details:
Incision Placement:
The incision is either placed just below the lash line or inside the lower eyelid (transconjunctival approach) for minimal or no visible scarring.
Fat Repositioning or Removal:
Fat deposits causing puffiness are carefully removed or redistributed to smooth the under-eye area.
Skin Tightening:
Excess or lax skin is removed and tightened to reduce sagging and wrinkles.
Muscle Support:
The procedure may include tightening or repositioning of the eyelid muscles for a firmer, more youthful look.
Benefits:
- Reduces puffiness and eliminates under-eye bags.
- Smooths fine lines and wrinkles in the lower eyelid area.
- Improves the overall contour of the lower eyelid for a rejuvenated appearance.
Who It’s For:
Patients with:
- Prominent under-eye bags or puffiness.

- A hollowed or tired appearance around the lower eyelids.
3. Double Eyelid Surgery (Asian Blepharoplasty)
What It Addresses:
Double eyelid surgery is a specialized procedure designed to create a defined crease in the upper eyelid for patients who naturally lack one. This is particularly popular among patients of Asian descent who seek a more open and alert eye appearance while maintaining harmony with their cultural and facial features.
Procedure Details:
Incision or Suture Technique:
The surgeon may use an incision technique to create a permanent crease or a suture technique for a less invasive, semi-permanent result.
Custom Crease Design:
The crease’s height and shape are tailored to the patient’s preference and natural eye structure.
Fat Removal or Redistribution:
If necessary, excess fat is removed or repositioned to achieve a natural look.
Benefits:
- Creates a more defined and symmetrical upper eyelid crease.
- Enhances the overall appearance of the eyes, making them look more open and alert.
- Delivers natural results that align with the patient’s cultural and aesthetic preferences.
Who It’s For:
Patients who:

- Have asymmetry between their eyelids.
- Want a more open, youthful eye appearance while preserving natural harmony.
4. Combined Eyelid Surgery
What It Addresses:
Combined eyelid surgery treats both the upper and lower eyelids in a single procedure. This comprehensive approach is ideal for patients with concerns affecting the entire eye area, such as sagging upper eyelids, under-eye bags, wrinkles, and puffiness.
Procedure Details:
Dual Incisions:
Separate incisions are made in the natural crease of the upper eyelid and below the lower lash line or inside the lower eyelid.
Comprehensive Rejuvenation:
Excess skin, fat, and muscle are addressed in both the upper and lower eyelids.
Balanced Results:
Special attention is given to maintaining harmony between the upper and lower eyelids for a balanced, natural look.
