How to Tighten the Eyelid?

For eyelid tightening, the area around the eye is anesthetized by local anesthesia. The steps that are followed are as follows:

• Although the patient is awake during the eyelid tightening process, the area is anesthetized with local anesthesia. Some patients may also undergo eyelid surgery by opting for general anesthesia.
• This procedure varies according to the patient’s eye circumference and is completed within 40-60 minutes.
• After anesthesia is applied, small incisions are applied over the lines of the eyelids and under the eyelashes of the lower eyelid.
• Through these incisions, herniated adipose tissue is repaired and taken out. Excess skin tissue is cleaned.
• To obtain a natural structure, the necessary part of the adipose tissue is preserved.
• Then these incisions are closed and stitching is performed and the process is completed.

Recovery After Eyelid Surgery

After eyelid surgery, the patient can usually go home on the day of the surgery according to his health condition. The healing process is as follows:

• Home rest is recommended for 3 days after the operation.
• The first day after the operation, ice compressing the patient’s eye reduces swelling.
• Stitches are taken on the 7th day according to the condition around the eyes.
• The patient can return to work in the first week after surgery.
• Makeup can be done after the 10th day of surgery.

Although there is no pain after surgery, intense light or strong winds to the eye can cause discomfort. Therefore, it is recommended that the patient wear sunglasses while outside until the healing process is complete.
