Lower Blepharoplasty
Frequently asked questions
How long does lower blepharoplasty last?
Generally, results from lower blepharoplasty can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years. Ultimately, skin quality, lifestyle habits, and progressive aging will affect the area, but the surgical outcome is more long-lasting in its rejuvenation effect.
Will I have visible scars following lower blepharoplasty?
Dr. Tolga Çakıl places the incisions either inside the lower eyelid or just below the lash line, and a resulting scar is discreet and hardly noticeable once healed. The scars look so natural as they mingle with the surrounding skin and are seldom visible.
Is the surgery of lower blepharoplasty painful?
The procedure is comforted under anesthesia. Most patients report only minimal discomfort in the first days post-operative, which can be properly managed with prescription pain medication.
How long should I plan to stay in Istanbul after my lower blepharoplasty?
Therefore, patients are advised to stay in Istanbul for 3-5 days following the treatment, so follow-up controls with Dr. Tolga Çakıl can be performed easily to track the healing process for the best results before returning home.
When can I go back to putting on eye makeup and wearing contact lenses?
Dr. Tolga Çakıl advises a general avoidance of makeup for the eyes and contact lens application for a period of 1 to 2 weeks for proper healing. Due to the fact that recovery is an individual characteristic, personal advice is given for each patient to maximize their results.
