As a result of the loss of elasticity that occurs on the face skin, excess skin is first collected on the eyelids. Therefore, the first signs of aging appear on the eyelids. Changes in the eyelids due to old age cause the person to look tired, dull and old. Some of the signs of aging seen on the lower and upper eyelids;

  • Bagging and color change under the eyes
  • Upper eyelid drop Wrinkles and sagging of the skin of the eyelid
  • Crow’s feet lines around the eyes
  • It can be listed as a tired facial expression.


Skin abundance occurring in the eyelids causes upper eyelid lowness. This miscarriage can sometimes be high enough to prevent vision. In this case, this condition must be treated functionally. Sometimes low eyebrows and forehead accompany low eyelids. In this case, there is an aesthetically worse appearance.

Blepharoplasty is often performed in conjunction with eyebrow lifting, forehead lifting, and endoscopic mid-face surgeries.
