What are the different types of blepharoplasty?

Generally, whether in Turkey or elsewhere, there are two types of intervention that correct the eyelids:

A lower blepharoplasty can play the role of a temporal lift to raise the eyebrows.

What is blepharoplasty in Turkey?

For hospitalization, it is between 24 and 48 hours.

The main surgical gestures of the plastic surgeon are:

For upper eyelids.

Like any surgery, eyelid plastic surgery requires the application of certain incisions to get rid of excess skin. However, the incisions made are very fine and camouflaged, either by the natural folds of the eyes, or flush with the eyelash. The scars dissipate quickly, and the sutures used are resorbable.
