Eye Contour Aesthetics

Eye contour aesthetics is the general name of surgical and non-surgical aesthetic procedures that provide a more youthful, vibrant and attractive appearance to the eyes, one of the most prominent and striking parts of the face. Eye contour aesthetics aims to correct, reshape and renew the eyelids, eyebrows, under-eye area and surrounding skin problems. It is effective in visual defects.

What is Eye Contour Aesthetics (Oculoplasty)?

This is the most comprehensive surgery for all problems related to the eye and the area around your eyes. Oculoplasty is the general name given to surgical procedures that include treatment of the orbit (eye socket), eyelids, tear ducts, eyebrows and even your face.

How is oculoplasty surgery performed?

In addition to cosmetic methods such as Botox injections, liposuction, blepharoplasty, different surgical and reconstructive methods such as orbital surgery and canal occlusion are used for eye and eye contour aesthetics. This diversity makes it possible to create personalized treatment plans based on the patient's needs and aesthetic goals. For aesthetic concerns around the eye area, an optimal result can be achieved using a combination of surgical interventions or non-surgical procedures.

What is Blepharoplasty (Eyelid) Surgery?

Blepharoplasty is a procedure to surgically correct the eyelids for aesthetic or reconstructive purposes. This surgery is usually performed to reduce the signs of aging or to improve the function of the eyelids. The surgical site is accessed through incisions that follow the natural wrinkles of the eyelid or just above the eyelashes. These incisions are usually carefully planned to make the results look more natural. The surgeon removes excess skin, muscle and fatty tissue from inside or outside the eyelid. This reduces drooping or puffiness of the eyelid, resulting in a more youthful and fresh appearance.

Eye Contour Aesthetics with Botox and Fillers

Botox and fillers are non-surgical treatment options commonly used in eye contour aesthetics. They both help to reduce wrinkles, lines and volume loss around the eyes, while aiming to achieve a youthful and dynamic appearance. Here is an explanation of how both methods work:

Botox Injections Botox helps to temporarily reduce wrinkles through the injection of a protein called botulinum toxin type A. Wrinkles around the eyes are often caused by repetitive movements of the mimic muscles. Botox reduces the appearance of wrinkles by temporarily relaxing these muscles. The most common areas of Botox application around the eyes are crow's feet lines, forehead lines and wrinkles between the eyebrows.

Filler Injections: Fillers help plump wrinkles and lines by filling volume loss around the eye area and supporting the skin. They can be used to correct under-eye bags, under-eye hollows and lines on the upper eyelid. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are often preferred and provide a natural appearance in the area where they are applied. These fillers are absorbed by the body after a certain period of time, so their effects are temporary.

What is droopy eyelid (ptosis)?

A droopy eyelid is known by the medical term "ptosis". Ptosis is when one or both eyelids droop or fall down from their normal position. This can result in the eyelid being lower than normal over the eye, causing the eye to be completely or partially closed. Ptosis can usually occur in one or both eyes and can occur after birth or during the aging process.

Ptosis can occur for many different reasons. Ptosis can affect the normal function of the eyelid and restrict the visual field. It can also create aesthetic concerns and in some cases can lead to dry eye or other eye health problems. Treatment is usually based on identifying and treating the underlying cause of ptosis, and surgical intervention is often necessary to correct the position of the eyelid.
