Double Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery uses a fine incision along the planned crease line. It can allow more structural control and can be combined with careful adjustment of excess skin or fat when clinically appropriate. It often involves more swelling early on and a longer settling period compared with suture only methods.

Non-Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery typically uses small sutures to form a crease without a full length incision. It may involve less early swelling and a faster return to routine activities for some patients. It may be less suitable when there is significant skin redundancy or heavier eyelid tissue and crease longevity can vary.

Partial Incision Double Eyelid Surgery combines elements of both approaches, using limited small incisions with internal fixation. It may offer a middle ground for selected patients, balancing structural control with a potentially shorter recovery than full incisional techniques.

Your surgeon reviews eyelid anatomy, eyelid closure, symmetry and crease design options. Markings are done while you are seated and looking forward to support balanced planning for Double Eyelid Surgery.

The crease is created using sutures, an incision or a partial incision approach. If an incisional plan is chosen, limited tissue adjustment may be performed when clinically appropriate. The aim is a crease that fits your anatomy and heals predictably.

The area is closed with fine sutures where needed and protective care instructions are provided. You are usually monitored briefly before returning to your accommodation with a clear follow up schedule.

• Share your full medical history, eye history and any prior eyelid procedures
• Disclose medications, supplements and allergies
• Ask whether you should pause blood thinning medicines or supplements, only with your prescribing clinician’s guidance
• Plan for temporary changes to contact lens use if advised

• Arrive with enough buffer for pre-op assessment and any last minute lab work if required
• Arrange a support person for the first day if recommended
• Choose accommodation close to the clinic for easy follow ups
• Bring a pair of sunglasses, a brimmed hat and any eye drops you normally use

Arrival is often planned 1 to 2 days before the procedure for consultation, consent and final crease design. Photos and measurements may be taken for documentation and planning.

Double Eyelid Surgery is usually done as an outpatient procedure. You will receive aftercare instructions, a follow up appointment plan and guidance on swelling control.

Follow ups commonly occur within the first week. If external stitches are used, removal is often planned around the first week, but timing depends on technique and surgeon preference.

Return travel timing depends on swelling, wound stability and your surgeon’s assessment. Many patients plan a stay of roughly 5 to 10 days, with longer stays considered if healing is slower or additional monitoring is recommended.

Swelling and bruising are common, along with tightness and mild irritation. Keeping the head elevated and using cold compresses if approved can support comfort. Vision may feel slightly blurred from ointment or tearing.

Many patients return to desk work and light routines during this phase, depending on swelling and comfort. Bruising typically fades and the crease begins to look more natural, although it can still change day to day.

The crease continues to settle and scar tissue softens. Makeup use and exercise are usually reintroduced gradually under clinic guidance. Final symmetry evaluation is generally not done too early because the eyelids can keep evolving.

For many patients, the crease appearance stabilizes further during this period. Some patients may take longer, especially after incisional Double Eyelid Surgery or if swelling persists.

• Keep the incision or suture area clean and dry as instructed
• Use prescribed ointment or drops only as directed
• Avoid rubbing the eyes and avoid smoky or dusty environments
• Sleep with the head elevated and avoid pressure on the eyelids

• Ask your clinic for written aftercare guidance for your local clinician if needed
• Plan remote check ins, especially if swelling changes or you notice asymmetry that concerns you
• Delay contact lens use, strenuous exercise and saunas until your surgeon confirms it is safe

• Swelling, bruising and temporary tightness
• Dryness, irritation or watery eyes
• Visible scarring or firmness during early healing, more likely with incisional methods
• Asymmetry or an uneven crease during healing

• Infection or bleeding
• Crease loosening or loss, which can be more likely with Non-Incisional Double Eyelid Surgery
• Overcorrection or undercorrection that may require revision
• Eyelid position changes that affect closure
• Vision changes, which are rare but require urgent assessment

Contact your clinic promptly if you have increasing pain, worsening redness, discharge, fever, sudden vision symptoms or rapid swelling on one side. Cura’s coordination process supports clear escalation pathways during travel and after you return home.

Turkey has a broad network of plastic surgery services and clinics that regularly support international patients. Many teams offer structured pre-op planning, multilingual coordination and post-op check ups that can fit a travel itinerary, which can be helpful for Asian Blepharoplasty and other eyelid procedures where early follow up matters.

Iran has long standing surgical training pathways and high volume experience across facial procedures, including eyelid surgery. For Double Eyelid Surgery, many international patients look for clear clinical documentation, careful crease planning and reliable follow up scheduling while abroad, supported by coordinated communication after returning home.
