What is Eye Aesthetics?
Oculoplasty, also known as eye aesthetics, is a branch that deals with aesthetic problems around the eyes, ocular oncology, orbital (eye socket) diseases, prosthetic eye problems, tear system diseases and eyelid diseases. Due to the increasing importance of aesthetic appearance in today's world, interest in such treatments is increasing day by day. Eye health and aesthetics are of great importance in terms of both appearance and quality of life. Problems such as under-eye bags, eyelid sagging, pterygium that occur due to advanced age, genetic factors or environmental factors can cause both cosmetic concerns and narrowing of the visual field. Below, you can find a combination of commonly applied treatment methods related to eye aesthetics and eye health.
Under Eye Bags Operation
The solution for a younger and more dynamic look is the under-eye bags operation. Under-eye bags form as a result of the loss of skin elasticity that occurs especially with aging, genetic predisposition or various environmental factors. This can cause a tired and older expression. Although the operation is generally preferred from middle age, it can also be applied in young people due to genetic factors or structural differences of the eye contour. The benefits of this operation are to gain a younger and more vibrant appearance, aesthetic improvement by removing excess skin and fat tissue collected around the eyes, and in some cases, the quality of vision is improved by removing the upper eyelid sagging along with the under-eye bags.
Eye Contour and Eyelid Aesthetics
Wrinkles, sagging and bagging around the eyes make the facial expression look tired and old. One of the most effective interventions against signs of aging is eyelid aesthetics. It offers a younger and more dynamic appearance by eliminating these problems with surgical or different medical applications. The most common problems are under-eye bags and dark circles, sagging skin in the upper eyelid and fine lines around the eyes. The advantages of this operation are the removal of fine lines around the eyes, both aesthetic and functional gain (widening of the field of vision), permanent and significant results, low risk of complications and short recovery time. Eye contour aesthetics can usually be performed under local anaesthesia and the duration of the procedure varies according to the operation to be performed.
Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is an application that aims to rejuvenate the eye contour by removing excess skin, muscle or fat tissues collected in the upper and lower eyelids. These tissues, which occur due to advancing age, genetic factors or external factors, can cause problems in both the appearance and visual field of the person. During blepharoplasty, excess tissue in the eyelid is surgically removed and the eye area is made smoother. Patients usually return to their daily lives within 1-2 weeks after the operation, while the results are followed up with regular controls and a successful appearance is provided in the long term.
Pterygium
Pterygium occurs when the conjunctival tissue thickens for various reasons and extends towards the cornea and shows a mass-like formation. Environmental factors such as sun exposure, wind, dusty environments can trigger the development of pterygium. This thickening, which can be seen as a yellowish-white mound in the early stages, can lead to a decrease in the quality of vision and aesthetic problems as it progresses. Treatment of pterygium involves surgical removal of this tissue. The use of protective drops recommended by the physicians and wearing sun protection glasses after the surgery accelerates the healing process and reduces the risk of recurrence of the formation.
Movable Eye Prosthesis Surgery
Movable eye prosthesis surgery offers an important aesthetic and psychological support to people who have experienced eye loss. In this surgery, a specially designed prosthetic eye is implanted in place of the damaged or completely dysfunctional eye. Since the prosthesis is produced as similar as possible to the natural eye structure, a mobile and realistic appearance is provided when viewed from the outside. In this process, the patient's facial expression and social relations are positively affected, because self-confidence is greatly increased. As long as regular maintenance and controls are not disrupted in prosthesis use, the person can continue to live a comfortable life both aesthetically and psychologically.

Patient Reviews
They made the process of coming to a country where I don’t speak the language and having eye surgery (frightening enough in your home town) very easy indeed. I had a wonderful interpreter with me through the entire process every day, she made everything so easy. First class facilities, first class staff and a very convenient location.
A very kind and professional medical team! The surgery was completely straightforward and was completed relatively quickly. The entire team, and especially Zuhal, my patient coordinator, was always available, incredibly helpful, and genuinely pleasant throughout the whole process. She stayed by my side from start to finish, explained everything thoroughly, and always made sure I understood what was happening. The doctor worked in a very calm and professional manner, and I never felt uncertain or uncomfortable at any point. There were three fresh meals each day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and they were all very enjoyable. The hospital rooms were also very clean and well maintained. Overall, I had a very positive experience with this hospital. I’m truly grateful to the entire team and would wholeheartedly recommend this hospital to anyone.
Easy process to book appointment, clear communication throughout. The hospital I clean and well-equipped. The staff friendly and helpful. A translator on hand from the moment I arrived until I left The preparation and tests pror to the Yag laser procedure, faultless. Clear information given on each part if the process. The procedure was painless, and no ill effects and I could see clearly about 30 minutes after the procedure. I cannot recommend them enough .
