Eyelid Surgery
The eyes are the first thing people read in a face. Eye contour surgery is one of Prof. Tezel's special interests: he trained in oculoplastic surgery at William Beaumont Hospital in Detroit and has published techniques for eyelid reconstruction. The goal is always a fresher look with eyes that still look like yours.
- Shape of the eye preserved: no rounded, 'operated' look
- Brow position assessed before any skin is removed
- Usually performed under local anaesthesia with sedation

Look at the brow first
Heavy upper lids are often a sign that the brow has descended, not that there is too much eyelid skin. Removing skin in that situation pulls the brow even lower. Prof. Tezel assesses brow position first, and when the brow is the cause, an endoscopic brow lift is combined with, or replaces, upper blepharoplasty.
Upper and lower eyelids
In the upper lids, a measured amount of skin and, where needed, fat is removed through an incision hidden in the natural crease. In the lower lids, bags are corrected by repositioning or conservatively removing fat, usually through an incision just below the lashes or inside the lid, while the lower lid and the outer corner of the eye are supported so their shape does not change.
Recovery
Bruising and swelling peak in the first few days. Stitches are removed between day 5 and 7, and most patients return to work and fly home after about a week. Scars fade over the following months.
Questions
Eyelid Surgery: frequently asked questions
They should not. Supporting the lower lid and the outer corner of the eye is part of the operation precisely so that the eye keeps its natural shape.
Yes. It is commonly combined with a deepest plane facelift or endoscopic brow and midface lift in the same session.

Deepest Plane Facelift
The face is lifted from its deepest plane, so skin tension is never what holds the result: natural expression, lasting structure.
