Our expert physicians combine medical precision with aesthetic vision to deliver subtle, long-lasting results.

Located in Ataşehir, Istanbul, History Clinic offers international patients high medical standards, experienced doctors, and cost advantages compared to Europe and the United States.

What Is Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)?

Eyelid surgery is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that removes excess skin, fat, and sometimes muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. The goal is to improve eye contour, reduce puffiness, and create a more open, youthful appearance without altering your natural look.

At History Clinic, blepharoplasty is performed with a conservative, anatomy-based approach to ensure safe healing and elegant results.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?

You may be an ideal candidate if you experience:

1. Drooping upper eyelids
2. Under-eye bags or puffiness
3. A tired or aged eye appearance
4. Good overall health and realistic expectations
5. No serious eye diseases

A detailed consultation and eye examination are performed before confirming suitability.
