Why do I have dark circles under my eyes? Can eyelid aesthetic surgery reduce them? Dark circles are not primarily caused by excess eyelid skin, so blepharoplasty does not solve this problem. Scientific publications suggest that the cause of dark circles under the eyes may be related to sleep deprivation, genetics, or the superficial placement of blood vessels.
The eye area is one of the fastest-aging regions of the face. Over time, sagging of the upper eyelid skin, bagging under the eyes, a tired expression, and a drooping eyelid appearance can develop. Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting excess skin, fat pockets, and loosened tissue around the eyes.
At our clinic in Ümitköy, Ankara, eyelid surgeries are planned with a focus on a natural appearance, preservation of facial expression, and a youthful but understated result. The aim is not to change the person; it is to create a fresher, more energetic, and younger expression.
Eyelid surgery is the surgical correction of excess skin, bags, laxity, and wrinkles that form on the upper and lower eyelids. This procedure is not only aesthetic; in some patients it is also performed to open up the field of vision. In particular, sagging of the upper eyelid can over time make a person look tired, sad, and older.
Eyelid surgery can generally be performed on people with sagging eyelids, under-eye bags, a constantly tired appearance, and signs of aging around the eyes.
Most common complaints: • "I always look sleepless" • "Makeup disappears on my eyelids" • "My under-eye bags never go away" • "My eyelids feel heavy" • "I look very tired in photos"
In some patients, excess skin on the upper eyelid may even narrow the field of vision.
This is the most frequently performed eyelid surgery. During the procedure, excess skin is removed, fat tissue is adjusted if needed, and the natural eyelid fold is preserved.
The aim is to achieve: • a more open gaze, • a younger expression, • a fresher appearance.
With proper planning, the surgical scar is usually hidden in the natural eyelid crease.
Common issues in the lower eyelid include bags, swelling, loose skin, and a tired appearance.
During surgery: • fat pockets are reorganized, • excess skin may be removed, • the under-eye transition is softened.
The aim is to create "a natural and rested eye area — not a hollow one."
In some patients, eyelid surgery can be combined with almond eye aesthetics, brow lift, forehead surgery, and facial rejuvenation procedures. This can provide a more balanced facial rejuvenation.
Surgery can be performed under local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia. It usually takes between 45 minutes and 2 hours. During the procedure, natural eye anatomy is preserved, excess tissue is removed, and rejuvenation is achieved without distorting the eye shape.
Most patients describe mild tightness and tenderness rather than serious pain after surgery. In the first days there may be swelling, mild bruising, and a feeling of tightness. Pain control is generally easy.
First Days: • Swelling • Mild bruising • Feeling of tightness
First Week: • Sutures can be removed • Bruising decreases • Return to social life begins
First Month: • Swelling largely subsides • The eye area begins to look natural
The full result emerges within a few months.
This is one of the most frequently asked questions. With the right technique, the upper eyelid scar is hidden in the natural fold, and the lower eyelid scar is usually very inconspicuous. Over time, scars generally lose their prominence.
Eyelid surgery can provide long-lasting results. However, the aging process continues and skin structure may change over time. Most patients can preserve a youthful appearance for many years.
As with any surgical procedure, there may be some risks.
Possible risks: • Swelling • Bruising • Asymmetry • Feeling of dryness • Temporary difficulty closing the eye • Scar-healing problems
Experienced surgical planning is important in reducing these risks.
Under-eye bags can form due to aging, genetic structure, fat tissue protrusion, and skin laxity. Some people may have prominent bags genetically even at a young age.
In men, the goal is not to create a feminine appearance but to reduce the tired expression. For this reason, in male eyelid surgery, preserving a natural look and a masculine gaze structure is very important.
The eye area is the most noticeable region of the face. A successful eyelid surgery can make a person look younger, more energetic, and more rested. However, the most important point is to achieve "a natural result that does not look surgical."
At our clinic in Ümitköy, Ankara, eyelid surgeries are performed preserving natural anatomy, without changing facial expression, and with personalized planning. For each patient, eye structure, brow position, skin quality, and facial proportions are evaluated in detail. Our aim is not only to remove skin; it is to create a more lively, fresher, and natural-looking eye area.
