The eyes are part of a larger picture
Heavy upper lids are often caused partly by a descending brow, and lower-lid bags often sit above a hollow where the cheek has lost volume. A surgeon who only looks at the eyelid itself may remove too much skin or miss the real cause. The best results come from assessing brow, lids and cheek together.
At New City Clinic, eyelid surgery is planned by Op. Dr. Fatih Kılıç, a plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon who also performs brow lifts, cat eye surgery and facial fat transfer. That breadth helps when the eyes need more than a single procedure.
Questions worth asking
Before you book, ask the surgeon:
- Is my heaviness coming from the lid, the brow or both?
- Will you remove fat from the lower lids or reposition it?
- Where will the lower-lid incision be: below the lashes or inside the lid?
- Do I need anything for the hollows under my eyes?
- How will you protect the position of my lower lid?
The consultation in Istanbul
The answers show whether the surgeon is thinking about your whole upper face or just one fold of skin. On the lower lid, the choice between removing fat and repositioning it into the groove beneath has a big influence on how your eyes will age over the next decade. A careful surgeon will also talk about protecting the support of your lower lid. These details appear in your plan from New City Clinic.
Your photos give the surgeon enough to prepare a plan and quote before you travel. Send them in good light, with your eyes open, looking up and gently closed. In Istanbul you meet the surgeon face to face, and the final plan is confirmed after the examination and tests.
This is the moment to talk about what you want to keep as well as what you want to change: the shape of your eyes, a natural crease, your expression. Eyelid surgery should freshen your look, never change your identity.
The clinic around the surgeon
Blepharoplasty is done in a licensed hospital, with an anaesthesia team and nursing care. New City Clinic names the hospital in your written quote and assigns one coordinator who stays with you throughout your stay and after you return home.
The surgeon’s profile and partner hospitals are listed on the official website, newcityclinic.com, so you can check them before you send your photos.
If you have very hooded eyes or a family history of droopy lids, mention it. It can influence whether a brow lift is suggested alongside eyelid surgery.
