What is Eye Aesthetics?

Oculoplasty, also known as eye aesthetics; It is a branch that deals with aesthetic problems around the eyes, ocular oncology, orbital (eye socket) diseases, prosthetic eye problems, tear system diseases and eyelid diseases. Due to the increasing importance of aesthetic appearance in today’s world, interest in such treatments is increasing day by day. Eye health and aesthetics are of great importance in terms of both appearance and quality of life. Problems such as under-eye bags, eyelid sagging, pterygium (eye flesh) that occur due to advanced age, genetic factors or environmental factors can cause both cosmetic concerns and narrowing of the visual field. Below, you can find a combination of commonly applied treatment methods related to eye aesthetics and eye health.

Under Eye Bags Operation

The solution for a younger and more dynamic look is the under-eye bags operation, especially the loss of skin elasticity that occurs with aging, genetic predisposition or various environmental factors. This can cause a tired and older expression. Although the operation is generally preferred from middle age, it can also be applied in young people due to genetic factors or structural differences of the eye contour. The benefits of this operation are to gain a younger and more vibrant appearance, aesthetic improvement by removing excess skin and fat tissue collected around the eyes, and in some cases, the quality of vision is improved by removing the upper eyelid sagging along with the under-eye bags.

Eye Contour and Eyelid Aesthetics

Wrinkles, sagging and bagging around the eyes make the facial expression look tired and old. One of the most effective interventions against signs of aging is eyelid aesthetics. It offers a younger and more dynamic appearance by eliminating these problems with surgical or different medical applications.

The most common problems are detention bags and bruises, sagging skin in the upper eyelid and fine lines around the eyes. The advantages of this operation are the removal of fine lines around the eyes, both aesthetic and functional gain (widening of the field of vision), permanent and significant results, low risk of complications and short recovery time. Eye contour aesthetics can usually be performed under local anaesthesia and the duration of the procedure varies according to the operation to be performed.

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is an application that aims to rejuvenate the eye contour by removing excess skin, muscle or fat tissues collected in the upper and lower eyelids. These tissues, which occur due to advancing age, genetic factors or external factors, can cause problems in both the appearance and visual field of the person. During blepharoplasty, excess tissue in the eyelid is surgically removed and the eye area is made smoother. Patients usually return to their daily lives within 1-2 weeks after the operation, while the results are followed up with regular controls and a successful appearance is provided in the long term.

Pterygium

Pterygium occurs when the conjunctival tissue thickens for various reasons and extends towards the cornea and shows a mass-like formation. Environmental factors such as sun exposure, wind, dusty environments can trigger the development of pterygium. This thickening, which can be seen as a yellowish-white mound in the early stages, can lead to a decrease in the quality of vision and aesthetic problems as it progresses. Treatment of pterygium involves surgical removal of this tissue. The use of protective drops recommended by the physicians and wearing sun protection glasses after the surgery accelerates the healing process and reduces the risk of recurrence of the formation.

Removable Eye Prosthesis Surgery

Movable eye prosthesis surgery offers an important aesthetic and psychological support to people who have experienced eye loss. In this surgery, a specially designed prosthetic eye is implanted in place of the damaged or completely dysfunctional eye. Since the prosthesis is produced as similar as possible to the natural eye structure, a mobile and realistic appearance is provided when viewed from the outside. In this process, the patient’s facial expression and social relations are positively affected, because self-confidence is greatly increased. As long as regular maintenance and controls are not disrupted in prosthesis use, the person can continue to live a comfortable life both aesthetically and psychologically.
