Eyelid aesthetic surgery prices can be determined based on the chosen hospital, the experience of the chosen surgeon, and the value of the service provided. Depending on the doctor's success and experience, it can be quite difficult to establish standard prices. Prices can range from very low to very high. When the desired result is achieved with a properly performed eyelid aesthetic surgery, there is no need for a repeat operation. The choice of surgeon is very important in this regard. Performing the surgery in experienced hands also increases the success rate. In this article, we will cover eyelid surgery price, its process, and what to expect. Enjoy reading.

Choosing a Doctor for Eyelid Surgery

Both upper and lower eyelid aesthetic surgery must be performed by a doctor who knows facial anatomy very well. This knowledge of anatomy helps identify the area that needs correction while showing us the areas that should not be touched during this surgery. Unnecessary trauma created during surgery can lead the patient to face both aesthetic and functional problems afterward. Similarly, an incorrect intervention can result in a more painful recovery process with increased swelling and bruising. This is why it is very important for the first surgery to be performed in experienced hands. It is also very important for the doctor to combine anatomical knowledge with an aesthetic eye and artistic manual skill. It is also an advantage if the doctor understands what you want and guides you accordingly.

Upper Eyelid Surgery Price

Upper eyelid surgery begins to become noticeable from the early thirties onward, aside from genetic causes. Since upper eyelid drooping is both a sign of aging and functionally narrows the field of vision, it is a procedure that requires aesthetic intervention. Performed under local anesthesia, it takes between 30–45 minutes. You are discharged from the hospital the same day. Bruising is generally not seen, though some swelling may occur. Bandages are applied to the incision sites, but these bandages do not restrict or complicate your daily life. After one week your check-up is carried out and the bandages are removed; no further dressing is needed. The medication prescribed by your doctor should be used, and the area should be protected from sun exposure as much as possible to prevent scarring. Movements that strain the suture sites should be avoided. After a properly performed upper eyelid surgery, the sagging in your eyelids is eliminated, your field of vision widens, and you achieve a more youthful, attractive appearance.

Lower Eyelid Surgery

Lower eyelid surgery is a procedure that requires slightly more care and precision than upper eyelid surgery. For this operation, the right and experienced doctor must be chosen. To avoid making things worse instead of better, choosing the right doctor is the safest approach. Under-eye bags can begin to form in the mid-thirties. For patients with complaints of under-eye bruising, puffiness, folds, or wrinkles, the procedure is performed under general anesthesia and can take between 1 and 1.5 hours. Two techniques are used: one leaves a visible scar and the other does not; which one is used should be guided by your doctor's recommendation. Because it is performed under general anesthesia, you will need to stay in the hospital overnight under observation and can be discharged the following day. Your follow-up check is done after one week; bruising is usually not seen during this process, though some swelling may occur. Lower and upper eyelid surgery can be performed at the same time.
