Eyelid combination surgeries are surgical procedures performed to address both aesthetic and functional issues that occur simultaneously in the upper and lower eyelids. These surgeries are applied to resolve both cosmetic and visual problems caused by excess skin, fat, or muscle accumulation in the eyelids.

Addressing the upper and lower eyelids together provides a more balanced and natural appearance compared to surgery on a single area. Especially due to aging, genetic factors, lifestyle, or environmental influences, problems around the eyes may increase, causing discomfort both aesthetically and in terms of health.

Eyelid combination surgeries can be performed for various reasons:

• Upper Eyelid Aesthetic Surgery: Excess skin and fat accumulation in the upper eyelids can cause drooping, puffiness, and wrinkles around the eyes. This condition not only leads to aesthetic concerns but may also narrow the field of vision. Upper eyelid surgery removes excess skin and fat tissue, giving the eyelid a youthful and healthy appearance.
• Lower Eyelid Aesthetic Surgery: Bags, puffiness, and dark circles under the eyes can create a tired and aged look. Lower eyelid surgery eliminates these problems by removing excess skin and fat tissue and restructuring the muscle. As a result, the eye area appears more vibrant and refreshed.
• Visual Impairment: In some cases, the upper or lower eyelids may partially cover the eyes and obstruct vision. In such functional cases, combination surgery is performed to improve both appearance and visual quality. Especially upper eyelid drooping can cause significant vision restriction in daily life.
• Functional Problems in the Eyelids: The eyelids protect the eyes and help distribute tears evenly. When drooping or heaviness prevents the eyelids from fully closing, serious problems can occur. Combination surgeries correct both aesthetic and functional issues, preserving eye health.

Eyelid combination surgeries are generally suitable for individuals who are healthy, have their chronic conditions under control, and are in good physical condition. However, a preoperative medical examination is essential. During this evaluation, the following factors are assessed:

• The structure of the skin, fat, and muscles in the eyelids
• The function of the eyelid muscles
• Eye health and visual status
• The patient’s expectations and aesthetic goals
• Possible surgical risks and complications

Based on these assessments, a personalized surgical plan is created for each patient.

After the surgery, swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort around the eyes may occur. These symptoms usually subside on their own within 1–2 weeks. During the recovery period, it is important to follow these guidelines:

• Avoid rubbing your eyes.
• Take the prescribed medications regularly.
• Avoid heavy exercise and sports activities for 2–3 weeks.
• Protect your eyes from direct sunlight exposure.
• Apply cold compresses if necessary and make sure to rest adequately.

Postoperative doctor check-ups are crucial to ensure that the healing process progresses properly. During these follow-ups, stitches, the healing condition around the eyes, and any possible complications are evaluated.

At A Life Health Group, if you are diagnosed as a candidate for eyelid combination surgery, our specialist doctors and experienced healthcare professionals will carefully listen to you and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Following the necessary guidelines before and after surgery is essential for a smooth recovery process:

• Before Surgery: Smoking and alcohol consumption should be limited, and blood-thinning medications should be discontinued under medical supervision.
• After Surgery: It is important to keep the eyes clean, use prescribed medications, and avoid strenuous physical activities.
• Follow-Ups: Regular doctor check-ups help prevent possible complications and ensure that the healing process is closely monitored.
