Upper Eyelid Aesthetics
The eyes, the most striking feature of our facial expression, can take on a tired appearance over time due to age, facial expressions, and the effects of gravity. Sagging and excess skin, particularly on the upper eyelid, can make a person appear older, tired, and sometimes unhappy. This is where upper eyelid aesthetics comes in, as one of the most effective ways to achieve a youthful, dynamic, and natural look from both an aesthetic and functional perspective.
Op. Dr. Ulvi Hasanov approaches cosmetic surgery with an artistic perspective, creating a plan tailored to each individual’s facial features and eye structure. His goal is not only to remove excess skin but also to revitalize the expression in your eyes.
If you see a tired expression when you look in the mirror, or if your drooping eyelids are affecting your field of vision, upper eyelid aesthetics can give you a more vibrant, youthful, and dynamic appearance. Thanks to Dr. Hasanov’s personal approach, which focuses on natural results, the change in your face will be noticeable but not “surgical.”
What is Upper Eyelid Aesthetics?
Upper eyelid aesthetics is a surgical procedure performed to eliminate excess skin, sagging, and a tired appearance that develops over time in the eyelids. Also known as blepharoplasty in medical literature, this operation is not only a cosmetic touch-up; it also provides functional benefits by removing skin accumulations that restrict the field of vision.
Factors such as aging, genetics, intense facial expressions, or irregular sleep patterns can cause the upper eyelids to loosen and sag over time. This makes applying makeup difficult and gives the person a constantly tired look. This is precisely where upper eyelid aesthetics come in, refreshing the appearance and giving the eye area a youthful, energetic look.
The goal of the procedure is to remove excess skin and muscle tissue without damaging the eyelid structure, harmonizing the eye area with the rest of the face. Dr. Ulvi Hasanov carefully evaluates each patient’s eye structure, brow position, and facial proportions to create a personalized plan. This ensures the result is completely in harmony with the face’s natural expression.
The Difference Between Upper Eyelid Ptosis and Eyelid Drooping
Changes in the upper eyelid often appear to be an aesthetic problem, but they can actually stem from different causes. The two most commonly confused conditions are upper eyelid drooping and eyelid ptosis. Although these two concepts appear similar, they differ in terms of both cause and treatment method.
Upper eyelid ptosis usually occurs as a result of natural processes such as aging, gravity, and decreased skin elasticity. In this case, excess skin accumulates on the eyelid, covering the eyelid line and giving the person a tired, aged appearance. This condition, which is aesthetically unpleasant, can be easily remedied with upper eyelid aesthetics.
Eyelid drooping (ptosis), on the other hand, is a medical problem caused by weakness in the muscle or nerve structure. In this case, not only the skin but also the muscle that lifts the lid cannot function properly, and the eye opening is significantly reduced. In some patients, this condition can even affect the field of vision.
Dr. Ulvi Hasanov carefully distinguishes between these two conditions during the examination. If the problem is only sagging skin, cosmetic surgery is sufficient; however, if muscle weakness is present, functional surgical intervention may be necessary. This ensures a permanent and natural result from both an aesthetic and functional perspective.
How is Upper Eyelid Aesthetics Performed?
Upper eyelid aesthetics is a delicate procedure that is completed in a short time but requires planning and attention to detail. In Dr. Ulvi Hasanov’s approach, each step is planned individually, taking into account the patient’s facial proportions, skin structure, and aesthetic expectations.
Before the operation, the doctor evaluates the patient’s eyelid structure, brow position, and skin elasticity. If necessary, a comprehensive plan is made, taking into account the lower eyelids or brow area. This ensures a harmonious appearance not only for the eyelid area but for the entire eye area.
The surgical procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia. Sedation or general anesthesia may be preferred in necessary cases. Dr. Hasanov plans the incision line along the natural crease of the eyelid to achieve natural results. This ensures that the scar becomes invisible after healing. Excess skin, muscle, and, if necessary, some fat tissue are removed to reshape the eyelid.
The operation usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes, and the patient can return home the same day. Dr. Ulvi Hasanov’s aesthetic approach aims to make the eyelid appear natural and lively, rather than “tight,” so every detail is planned with great care. As a result, the outcomes are aesthetically balanced and completely harmonious with the overall expression of the face.
Recovery Process and Precautions
The recovery process after upper eyelid surgery is generally quite comfortable. Most patients can return to their daily activities within a few days after the surgery. However, there are some points to consider during this period to ensure a faster and smoother recovery.
Mild swelling and bruising around the eyes may occur within the first 24 hours after the operation. This is completely normal and usually subsides within 5–7 days. Applying cold compresses provides great relief during this period. Avoiding activities that strain the eyes, intense screen time, or excessive sunlight also speeds up healing.
Stitches are usually removed on the 5th or 7th day. At the end of this process, the eyelid line becomes more defined, but the scars fade over time and become almost invisible. Most patients can apply makeup and comfortably return to their social life starting from the second week.
Dr. Ulvi Hasanov closely monitors the healing process of each patient. He closely monitors tissue healing through post-operative check-ups and, if necessary, provides personalized care recommendations. This ensures that the recovery period is more comfortable and the results are more long-lasting.
The Benefits of Upper Eyelid Aesthetics
Upper eyelid aesthetics not only rejuvenates the eye area; it also positively affects the person’s facial expression, self-confidence, and overall energy. Many patients report experiencing a significant psychological renewal after surgery, not just physical.
One of the most obvious advantages of this operation is that it provides a younger and more dynamic appearance. When excess skin on the eyelids is removed, the person looks more lively and energetic. As the eye area becomes more defined, the gaze becomes more meaningful.
In addition, eliminating a tired facial expression gives the person a refreshed look. This change makes makeup easier to apply and completes the overall facial aesthetics.
From a functional perspective, sagging skin can narrow the field of vision in some patients. Upper eyelid aesthetics can eliminate this problem and improve vision quality. Thus, both aesthetic and practical improvement is achieved.
The goal of this procedure, performed with Dr. Ulvi Hasanov’s artistic approach, is not to completely change the person’s facial expression, but to emphasize their existing beauty and give them a natural freshness. The result is a touch of youthfulness that those around you will notice but cannot quite understand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is upper eyelid aesthetics permanent?
Yes, upper eyelid aesthetics generally provides long-lasting results. The aging process continues naturally, but the youthful and dynamic appearance achieved after surgery largely retains its permanence. Patients usually maintain noticeable effects for up to 10 years.
Will there be any scarring after the surgery?
Dr. Ulvi Hasanov plans the incision line along the natural crease of the eyelid, so the scar is usually not noticeable after surgery. Once healing is complete, the scar blends in with your skin tone and becomes virtually invisible.
When can I wear makeup?
Sutures are usually removed 10–14 days after surgery, and the skin tissue begins to heal. After this period, light makeup can be applied with the doctor’s approval. However, hypoallergenic products that do not irritate the eye area should be preferred.
Will there be pain during the healing process?
There is usually no significant pain after the procedure, other than a slight feeling of tightness. If necessary, the process can be managed comfortably with simple painkillers recommended by the doctor.
Can drooping eyelids also be corrected with this surgery?
If the problem is caused by excess skin, then yes. However, if the drooping (ptosis) is due to weakness of the muscle that lifts the eyelid, additional functional surgery may be required. Dr. Hasanov determines the correct approach by identifying this difference during the examination.
How long does it take to return to work after surgery?
Most patients can return to work within 5–7 days after the operation. Minor bruising or swelling can be easily covered with makeup. Final results usually become apparent within 2–3 weeks.
