What is Upper & Lower Eyelid 4-Eyelid LA?
Four-eyelid blepharoplasty under local anaesthesia rejuvenates both the upper and lower eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle to eliminate hooding and under-eye bags. Local anaesthesia with sedation allows a fully awake yet comfortable experience, with a faster recovery and no general anaesthesia risks. MedProper performs this procedure in Istanbul's JCI and TEMOS-accredited hospital with an all-inclusive package.
How Does Upper & Lower Eyelid 4-Eyelid LA Work?
- 1Your surgeon evaluates all four eyelids and discusses realistic outcomes during a preoperative consultation.
- 2Local anaesthetic is injected around the eyelids, and light sedation is provided for comfort. You remain awake but feel no pain.
- 3The upper lids are addressed first: excess skin and fat are removed through an incision in the natural crease.
- 4The lower lids are then treated through a sub-lash or transconjunctival incision to remove or reposition protruding fat.
- 5Fine sutures close all incisions, cold compresses are applied, and you can return to your hotel the same day.
Who is a Good Candidate for Upper & Lower Eyelid 4-Eyelid LA?
- Adults with excess skin on the upper eyelids and puffiness on the lower lids who want all four corrected in one session
- Patients who prefer to avoid general anaesthesia due to personal preference or medical reasons
- Non-smokers or those willing to stop smoking at least two weeks before and after surgery
- Individuals in good health without severe dry eye, uncontrolled glaucoma, or thyroid eye disease
- Those who want a shorter overall procedure time and quicker same-day discharge

Frequently Asked Questions
No. The local anaesthetic completely numbs the eyelids. You may feel light pressure but no pain. Sedation keeps you relaxed and calm throughout.
Local anaesthesia eliminates the cost of a general anaesthesiologist and overnight hospital monitoring, which allows us to pass that saving on to patients.
The surgical technique and final outcome are identical. The only difference is the anaesthesia method and whether an overnight stay is included.
Four to five nights is recommended to allow for preparation, surgery, and two postoperative follow-up visits.
