Question 1

Is upper eyelid surgery only cosmetic?

Accepted Answer

It refreshes appearance and, when heavy skin affects the upper field of vision, can also improve it. Dr. Aksoy will assess your needs.

Question 2

What anaesthesia is used and how long does it take?

Accepted Answer

It is usually performed under local anaesthesia with sedation and typically takes around one hour.

Question 3

Will the scar be visible?

Accepted Answer

The incision is hidden within the natural eyelid crease, so the resulting scar is usually very discreet and fades over time.

Question 4

How soon can I return to work?

Accepted Answer

Many patients return to desk work and social activities within about a week, once initial swelling and bruising settle.

Question 5

Can it be combined with other procedures?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It is often combined with a brow lift or other facial procedures for a more complete refresh.
