Eyelid Aesthetics

What is droopy eyelid?

When viewed from the front, the pupil is covered by a 1-2 mm flap from above. If this slope is more, it is understood that the ciliary edge covers the pupil and even covers the visual axis from the centre. This condition is called eyelid sagging.

As a result of aging, sagging of the eyelid may occur due to loosening of the tissues. In addition, it is also known as a congenital problem. It is also seen to occur in those with a history of trauma, accident, stroke and brain problems. Nerve and muscle problems, eye surgeries and tumours also cause this problem. Apart from these, the use of contact lenses can also cause allergies and drooping eyelids.

The question of how eyelid aesthetics is done is one of the most curious topics today. Eyelid aesthetics is a procedure that eliminates problems such as sagging, bagging, increased wrinkles, sagging in the upper eyelids and eyebrows, sagging and streaking in the lower eyelids, which usually occur as a result of aging but can also occur at an early age.

If the child also has lazy eye, the procedure includes closure treatment and eye treatment. In adults, treatment is planned to correct visual functions and cosmetic appearance. After a detailed evaluation of the patient’s droopy eyelids, the necessary measurements for blepharoplasty are taken. The desired shape can be given to the lower eyelid using incisions and special laser techniques. In addition, eyelid aesthetics is also known as a problem that is difficult to treat without surgery.
