What is Upper & Lower Eyelid 4-Eyelid GA?
Four-eyelid blepharoplasty under general anaesthesia simultaneously rejuvenates both the upper and lower eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle to eliminate hooding, puffiness, and under-eye bags. General anaesthesia is chosen for patient comfort when all four lids are treated in a single session. MedProper performs this procedure in Istanbul's JCI and TEMOS-accredited hospital with a fully inclusive package.
How Does Upper & Lower Eyelid 4-Eyelid GA Work?
- 1Your surgeon evaluates skin excess, fat distribution, and muscle tone on all four eyelids during a thorough preoperative assessment.
- 2Under general anaesthesia, the upper lids are addressed first: an incision is made in the natural crease, and excess skin and fat are removed.
- 3The lower lids are then treated: an incision is placed just below the lash line (or inside the lid for a scarless transconjunctival approach), and protruding fat pads are repositioned or removed.
- 4All incisions are closed with fine sutures to ensure minimal scarring and a natural result.
- 5Cold compresses are applied, and you rest in the hospital before returning to your hotel.
Who is a Good Candidate for Upper & Lower Eyelid 4-Eyelid GA?
- Adults with drooping upper eyelids and puffy lower lids who want comprehensive rejuvenation in one session
- Patients whose upper eyelid skin interferes with vision or creates a perpetually tired appearance
- Non-smokers or those willing to quit smoking at least two weeks before and after surgery
- Individuals in good overall health without uncontrolled dry eye or thyroid conditions
- People who prefer the comfort of general anaesthesia for a combined upper and lower eyelid procedure

Frequently Asked Questions
When all four eyelids are treated, the procedure takes longer and involves more detailed work. General anaesthesia ensures complete comfort and stillness, allowing the surgeon to achieve the most precise result.
Blepharoplasty primarily targets the eyelids. Crow's feet are best addressed with complementary treatments such as a temple lift or injectable treatments. Your surgeon may recommend a combination.
We recommend five nights to cover preoperative preparation, surgery, hospital observation, and at least two follow-up visits before departure.
The goal is to restore a refreshed version of your natural eye shape, not to change it. Your surgeon preserves your unique eye character while removing excess tissue.
The all-inclusive package covers the surgical team, anaesthesia, JCI-accredited hospital stay, hotel accommodation, airport and clinic transfers, all medications, and 12 months of remote aftercare.
