What is Upper or Lower Eyelid 2-Eyelid LA?
Two-eyelid blepharoplasty under local anaesthesia corrects either drooping upper eyelids or puffy lower lids using a precise, minimally invasive approach. Local anaesthesia with sedation allows you to remain comfortable and awake, with same-day discharge and a faster recovery. MedProper performs this procedure in Istanbul's JCI and TEMOS-accredited hospital with a convenient all-inclusive package.
How Does Upper or Lower Eyelid 2-Eyelid LA Work?
- 1Your surgeon evaluates the targeted eyelids and discusses the planned correction during a preoperative consultation.
- 2Local anaesthetic is injected around the eyelids, and mild sedation is given for relaxation. You remain conscious but pain-free.
- 3For upper lids, excess skin and fat are removed through an incision in the natural crease. For lower lids, fat is repositioned or removed through a sub-lash or internal transconjunctival approach.
- 4Fine sutures close the incisions, and cold compresses are applied immediately.
- 5You rest briefly at the hospital and return to your hotel the same day.
Who is a Good Candidate for Upper or Lower Eyelid 2-Eyelid LA?
- Adults with excess upper eyelid skin or lower eyelid bags who want a focused, single-area correction
- Patients who prefer to avoid general anaesthesia for medical or personal reasons
- Non-smokers or those prepared to stop smoking at least two weeks before and after the procedure
- Individuals in good health without significant dry eye or thyroid-related eye conditions
- Those looking for the most cost-effective blepharoplasty option with minimal downtime

Frequently Asked Questions
No pain. The local anaesthetic fully numbs the eyelid area. You may feel slight pressure or movement but nothing uncomfortable. Sedation keeps you relaxed.
The surgical technique and outcome are the same. The difference is the anaesthesia type: local anaesthesia means no overnight stay, faster recovery, and a lower cost.
This package covers two eyelids (both uppers or both lowers). For all four eyelids under local anaesthesia, the four-eyelid LA package is available.
Three to four nights is usually sufficient for preparation, surgery, and a follow-up visit.
The all-inclusive package covers the surgical team, local anaesthesia with sedation, hospital facility, hotel accommodation, airport and clinic transfers, all medications, and 12 months of remote aftercare.
