Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) is performed by Prof. Dr. H. Baki Yılmaz in Istanbul using 3D facial simulation, HD endoscopic airway analysis, and micrometric Ultrasonic Piezo bone sculpting that preserves soft tissue, vessels, and nerves. Breathable internal silicone airway splints replace traditional gauze packing, enabling immediate nasal breathing and Day 6–7 Fit-to-Fly clearance.
| Clinical Parameter | Our Ultrasonic Piezo & Structural/Preservation Protocol | Conventional Hammer/Chisel & Gauze Packing |
|---|---|---|
| Bone & Cartilage Sculpting | ✓ Micrometric piezoelectric sound waves (bone-selective) | Mechanical osteotome / rasp fracture |
| Soft Tissue & Edema Control | ✓ 100% soft-tissue preservation; minimal bruising & swelling | Higher mucosal trauma & longer recovery |
| Nasal Packing & Breathing | ✓ Breathable silicone airway splints (breathe from Day 1) | Occlusive gauze packing |
| Splint Removal & Fit-to-Fly | ✓ Day 6–7 splint removal at Kadıköy clinic & flight clearance | Day 7–10 recovery window |

- Facelift (SMAS Rhytidectomy) — Anatomical SMAS layer suspension restoring lower facial contours, jowls, jawline definition, and neck symmetry without skin tension.
- Midface Lift (Cheek & Malar Lift) — Endoscopic or subciliary elevation of descended malar fat pads to restore youthful cheek fullness and smooth the tear-trough transition.
- Deep Plane Facelift — Gold-standard sub-SMAS ligament release repositioning the composite muscle-fat-skin unit without skin tension for natural, long-lasting facial rejuvenation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Will Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) look natural or tight?
Our anatomical SMAS and Deep Plane techniques reposition deeper structural tissues rather than pulling skin tightly, ensuring your natural facial expressions and identity remain completely authentic.
Where are the incisions placed for Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)?
Incisions are meticulously concealed within natural anatomical creases—such as the upper eyelid fold, subnasal crease, or hairline/periauricular contours—healing inconspicuously.
Can Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) be combined with Ultrasonic Piezo Rhinoplasty?
Yes. Facial rejuvenation procedures such as Blepharoplasty, Lip Lifting, and Midface/Deep Plane Lifting can be safely combined with Rhinoplasty in a single surgical session for balanced facial harmony.
What is the recovery timeline before returning to social life?
Blepharoplasty and Lip Lifting patients return to social activities within 5–7 days, while Midface and Deep Plane Facelift patients typically resume social routines within 10–14 days.
