What is Upper or Lower Eyelid 2-Eyelid GA?
Two-eyelid blepharoplasty under general anaesthesia targets either the upper or lower eyelids to correct drooping skin, puffiness, or under-eye bags. General anaesthesia is ideal for patients who prefer to be fully asleep or when the procedure is combined with another facial surgery. MedProper performs this procedure in Istanbul's JCI and TEMOS-accredited hospital with a fully inclusive package.
How Does Upper or Lower Eyelid 2-Eyelid GA Work?
- 1Your surgeon determines whether the upper or lower eyelids require correction and plans the procedure during a preoperative consultation.
- 2Under general anaesthesia, the targeted eyelids are treated: upper lid excess skin and fat are removed through the natural crease; lower lid fat pads are repositioned or removed through a sub-lash or transconjunctival incision.
- 3Fine sutures are placed to close the incisions with precision, ensuring natural-looking results.
- 4Cold compresses are applied, and you are monitored in the hospital before returning to your hotel.
- 5A follow-up appointment is scheduled within 48 hours to check healing and remove sutures if needed.
Who is a Good Candidate for Upper or Lower Eyelid 2-Eyelid GA?
- Adults with hooding on the upper eyelids or bags and puffiness on the lower eyelids
- Patients who prefer general anaesthesia for comfort or are combining this with another facial procedure
- Non-smokers or those committed to stopping smoking at least two weeks before and after surgery
- Individuals in good overall health without severe dry eye or thyroid-related eye conditions
- Those seeking targeted correction of either the upper or lower lids rather than all four
