Periorbital Aesthetic Surgery

The eye area is where signs of ageing appear most rapidly. With the Three-Dimensional Holistic Approach, wrinkles, hollowness, and sagging around the eyes are corrected to achieve a natural and youthful look.

Aesthetic concerns in the eye region can be effectively treated with Botox, tear trough fillers, and eyelid surgery, offering long-lasting and rejuvenating results.

Three-Dimensional Holistic Approach in Periorbital Aesthetics

The eye area is one of the first regions where signs of ageing become visible. Due to its thin skin and delicate structure, wrinkles and sagging tend to appear at an early stage.

Aesthetic procedures for the eye area not only reduce ageing effects but also aim to create a natural and youthful appearance. Developed by Prof. Dr. Özay Özkaya, the "Three-Dimensional Holistic Approach" addresses all aspects of periorbital ageing, offering customised solutions tailored to individual needs.

Why Is a Holistic Approach Necessary in Periorbital Aesthetics?

Periorbital aesthetics is a complex field where focusing on just one area is insufficient for achieving long-lasting results. The upper eyelid, lower eyelid, crow’s feet, tear troughs, and the eyelid-cheek junction should be evaluated as a whole. Prof. Dr. Özay Özkaya conducts a comprehensive assessment for each patient to correct ageing signs and restore a natural, youthful balance to the eye area.

Solutions for Periorbital Concerns: The Three-Dimensional Approach

Crow’s Feet and Botox Treatments

One of the earliest visible signs of ageing around the eyes is the appearance of fine lines known as crow’s feet. These wrinkles typically become more pronounced in the 30s and can be effectively treated with Botox. By reducing muscle contractions, Botox smooths out dynamic wrinkles, creating a fresher, more youthful appearance.

Tear Trough Hollows and Under-Eye Fillers

Hollowing in the tear trough area can make a person appear tired and aged. This issue can be corrected with hyaluronic acid-based under-eye fillers, commonly known as tear trough or light fillers. These fillers help restore volume, smooth the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek, and enhance facial harmony.

Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

✅ Upper Eyelid Surgery:

• Performed under local anaesthesia and sedation.
• Removes excess skin and fat deposits for a tighter, younger look.
• If present, muscle laxity is also corrected during the procedure.
• The procedure takes approximately 45 minutes.

✅ Lower Eyelid Surgery:
Depending on the severity of the issue, one of two techniques is used:

• Transconjunctival (Internal) Incision: Suitable for patients with fat herniation but no excess skin.
• Subciliary (Under-Eyelash) Incision: Used for patients with both fat herniation and excess skin.

Both procedures typically take 40-50 minutes and are performed under local anaesthesia.

Recovery After Eyelid Surgery

• Swelling and bruising usually subside within one week.
• Although healing times vary, final results become more apparent over the following months.
• Due to the thin and elastic nature of the eyelid skin, surgical scars are minimal and often barely visible.
