Blepharoplasty & Bichectomy in Istanbul

Two refined facial procedures — eyelid rejuvenation and cheek contouring — performed alone under local anesthesia or combined with rhinoplasty in a single session.

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Aesthetics)

Corrects sagging, puffiness and wrinkles of the upper or lower eyelids caused by aging, genetics or trauma. Upper-lid surgery restores a fresher, more rested look; lower-lid surgery reduces under-eye bags and dark circles. Scars are minimal and healing is fast.

Bichectomy (Cheek Contouring)

The surgical removal of the buccal (Bichat) fat pads inside the cheeks, subtly slimming the mid-face and highlighting the cheekbones and jawline. The goal is balance — a face whose features sit in harmonious proportion.

Combine with Rhinoplasty

Both procedures pair naturally with rhinoplasty: one anesthesia, one recovery period, one trip to Istanbul — and a result planned as a whole, because facial harmony is about proportion between features, not any single feature alone. Whether a combined plan suits you is assessed honestly in your online consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is bichectomy permanent?

Yes — the removed buccal fat pads do not grow back. Because the mid-face naturally loses volume with age, the amount removed is planned conservatively, so your face ages gracefully.

When will I look presentable after blepharoplasty?

Bruising and swelling around the eyes settle quickly — most patients feel socially comfortable within about a week. Fine healing continues over the following weeks.

Are these procedures painful?

Both are typically performed under local anesthesia and are well tolerated. Post-operative discomfort is mild and managed with standard pain medication.

Who is a good candidate?

Healthy adults with realistic expectations — for blepharoplasty, those bothered by lid sagging or under-eye bags; for bichectomy, those with round mid-face fullness seeking subtle definition. Your suitability is assessed individually.
