While upper eyelid surgery focuses on rejuvenating the upper part of the eyes, lower eyelid surgery is designed to restore a youthful, refreshed appearance to the lower eyelid and under-eye area. This procedure addresses common concerns such as:
Under-eye bags (puffiness)
Dark circles
Tear trough depressions
Sagging of the lower eyelids
Ectropion (outward turning of the eyelid)
These issues can result from various factors, including genetics, natural aging (loss of skin elasticity, fat displacement, and weakening of the orbital retaining ligaments), and skin damage caused by sun exposure and UV rays.
Compared to upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery is more complex and carries a higher risk of complications, such as:
Ectropion: Outward turning of the lower eyelid
Malposition: Improper alignment of the lower eyelid
Scarring: Potential for visible scars
Relatively Less Satisfaction Rates: The lower eyelid has a more complex anatomy than the upper lid. Since aging affects bone, ligaments, fat pads, and skin together, achieving satisfactory results is often more difficult.
Due to its complexity, lower eyelid surgery is best suited for individuals who:
Are in good overall health
Have realistic expectations regarding the procedure
Experience significant under-eye puffiness and hollowness
Consultation with Dr. Varsak is essential to determine if you are a good candidate and to discuss potential risks and benefits.
Dr. Varsak will select the most appropriate technique based on your unique needs:
Incision made inside the lower eyelid, avoiding visible external scarring.
Ideal for addressing excess fat either via transposing or excising without removing skin.
Incision made just below the lash line.
Allows removal of excess skin, tightening tissues, and addressing fat deposits.
Better suited for patients with significantly excess skin.
The goals of lower eyelid surgery include:
Redistributing or removing excess fat to eliminate under-eye bags.
Tightening sagging muscles and tissues for a smoother, more youthful look.
Addressing ectropion by repositioning the eyelid into its natural position.
In some cases, fat transfer may be performed to fill tear troughs and create a more harmonious under-eye appearance.
Recovery Time: Generally takes longer than upper eyelid surgery due to the sensitive nature of the lower eyelid area.
Swelling & Bruising: Expect swelling and bruising for several weeks after the surgery.
Due to higher complexity and risks, lower eyelid surgery generally has slightly lower satisfaction rates compared to upper eyelid surgery. However, with careful planning and expert technique, optimal results can be achieved.
Lower eyelid surgery can be performed alongside other procedures, such as a mid-facelift or facelift, to address broader facial aesthetic concerns.
It is essential to have realistic expectations. While lower eyelid surgery can significantly improve the appearance of the under-eye area, it cannot eliminate all signs of aging and may not be suitable for everyone.
Hear from those who’ve undergone the procedure and experienced a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
After thoroughly researching ear reduction surgeons I (finally) found dr varsak; most of them rejected my case on the grounds that ear reduction can leave a large scar. but I was determined, as I don't like the size of my ears and I always hide them with my hair Ear reduction is a more rare surgery and he has achieved it. oh my god I am so glad I found it, they are the perfect size for me and the incision is barely noticeable. The staff were also very welcoming, would definitely recommend!
Hello I am from the United States and Dr. Varsak performed a deep plane facelift, lip lift, eyebrow lift, a dimpleplasty and a chemical peel. He is an exceptional surgeon with skilled hands and an eye for detail when it comes to making your results turn out beautiful. I can tell that he loves what he does and that he really understands the anatomy of the face and what it will take to give you the best results possible.
Amazing Results I searched for Dr Varsak based on the type of result I wanted mentioned in my headline and well known on you tube by another dr I could never afford; I knew I was going to Istanbul for a facelift. A bit hard to figure out payment but his wonderful support team (don’t know if I can use names so I won’t) were so helpful and talked to me from the time I contacted them through to now we are still in contact and the whole experience was fantastic; I had been before to the country but the hospital was new to me and its is the most gorgeous hospital, smells amazing!you’ll see what I mean when you get to Turkey a lot of public places smell amazing but I just want to say that Dr Varsak is a genuine, caring man.
i had a chin and jaw implant with dr. varsak, and i am very happy with the results. he listened to my goals, gave great advice, and made sure everything went smoothly. the recovery was easy, and my face looks natural and balanced. i highly recommend dr. varsak for anyone thinking about facial implants.
Hi There- After carefully reviewing plastic surgeons in Türkiye,I choose Dr. Varsak for his specialty in facial rejuvenation.I am older, I travel from the U.S. and had the facial/neck lift/upper and lower eye done. I must say that I was 110% satisfied, not only with the way I was treated by Dr. Varsak and his staff, but at the beautiful hospital and the great team that took care of me for the two days there and at the beautiful hotel on the same property
I could not recommend a better doctor and a surgeon than Dr. Varsak! I had a rhinoplasty with Dr. Varsak over 3 months ago, and I have fallen in love with the results more and more as time passes, and it heals more. I found Dr. Varsak on Instagram roughly two years ago, and as everyone knows, medical tourism in Turkey is very popular. I had my doubts, as most people would. After following his work for a couple of months and seeing the different results on his patients, I fell in love with his work.
If you are reading this review, you are at least curious about plastic surgery or Medical Tourism. This is how I started.... After consulting doctors in the United States, I realised that if I wanted to find a highly skilled surgeon with services I could afford, I needed to expand my search. I had never heard of medical tourism, but I started my research by discovering that Turkey was one of the top countries identified. I then started making a list of all the doctors I came across on Instagram and Google searches. I looked at reviews and biographies and took notes. I decided that having an excellent hospital in case of unforeseen emergencies was one of my top priorities. I then wanted my doctor to be well educated and speak English well. Dr. Varsak and Andula Medical Centre (a John's Hopkins affiliate) rose to the top of my list.
My experience with Dr Varsak and his staff has exceeded my expectations. While the price seemed appealing, I was hesitant about traveling to have facial surgery, specifically, a deep plane facelift. Merih and other staff members made sure everything went well the minute I arrived. Dr Varsak’s staff assisted with details which included my airport pickup, hospital paperwork, after care issues, along with just checking in to make sure all was well.
Im 23, 7days post Op. I've had a rhinoplasty, chin implant and deep central neck lift. I am seriously BEYOND happy with my results from Dr Varsak. He has completely exceeded my expectations and gone above and beyond for my results. He preformed a closed rhinoplasty so i have no visible scarring. My nose is PERFECTLY what I wanted and more! Hes a brilliant surgeon so easy to talk to and knows exactly what hes doing. I could not have asked for more. Him and his whole team including Anil and Arzu have been exceptional the whole time, the hospitality has been perfect. Beautiful hospital comfortable hotel all the staff/ nurses have been so so kind. Foods has been amazing! I could go on forever.
Hello, I am from America and Dr Varsak has performed deep facelift, lip lift, brow lift, dimple aesthetics and chemical peels. He is an exceptional surgeon with skilled hands and attention to detail when it comes to making sure your results are beautiful. I can tell she loves what she does, really understands facial anatomy and understands what it takes to give you the best results possible. He will recommend what he believes will make a person look their best and I did everything he recommended (dimplplplasty and chemical peels were my personal preference) but I did what he recommended and I can already see how great I will look
I had the pleasure of undergoing a procedure with Dr. Varsak, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, Dr. Varsak displayed the highest level of professionalism, skill, and compassion. He took the time to listen to my concerns, answered all my questions thoroughly, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the process.
I am 5 month after surgery and can be not happier with a result. 1,5 years ago I had unsuccessful facelift and cheek implants surgery by an other doctor. Besides that Dr Varsak is warm and kind person, he is true professional. I was very worry about surgery but after conversation with Dr Varsak I knew that I am in good hands. Dr Varsak expertly removed cheek implants without damaging any nerve and performed amazing deep plane face and neck lift with very natural result. He understood exactly what I wanted and exceeded my expectations. Dr Varsak has truly golden hands. Team of Dr Varsak was amazing and helpful as well. I highly recommend Dr Varsak to anyone considering surgery.
Deep plane face- and necklift. I am very satisfied with the work of Dr. Varsak. The clinic and the staff were of German standard. Everything was to my complete satisfaction. I am very happy with the result. I look 15 years younger. The surgery was 2 years ago. I am now 55 years old. Thank you Dr. Varsak
I would like to extend my gratitude to Dr. Varsak and his staff for their exceptional care and support throughout my treatment. From the initial consultation, I had confidence in Dr. Varsak’s expertise and knew that he was the right choice for my procedure. He took the time to thoroughly explain all options and address my concerns. I received top-notch care at John Hopkins Anadolu Hospital, where every staff member was incredible and made me feel well cared for throughout my recovery.
He was very accommodating, yet realistic. He did a better job on everything than I could have imagined. I still can't believe how much money I saved for a Doctor MORE QUALIFIED than I could find in my area. I had a facelift, a surgical lip flip and rhinoplasty (only on my lower nose/tip). I am an impatient and nervous patient and his staff was kind, supportive, helped me through any fears I had. Many of my friends that were not in favor of me leaving for Turkey for surgery are considering it themselves! But only with Dr. Varsak.
Recovery from lower eyelid surgery usually takes about 1 to 2 weeks, with most swelling and bruising diminishing during this period. Full results may take a few months to appear as the healing process completes.
Yes, the results are generally long-lasting, often providing improvement for 10 to 15 years. However, natural aging and lifestyle factors can gradually affect the appearance over time.
Ideal candidates are individuals with under-eye bags, dark circles, or loose skin seeking a rejuvenated appearance. Good overall health and realistic expectations are essential for successful outcomes.
Lower eyelid surgery can significantly reduce the appearance of dark circles if they are caused by fat deposits or skin laxity. However, pigmentation-related dark circles may require additional treatments.
The procedure involves removing or repositioning excess fat, tightening muscles, and smoothing the skin through incisions made below the lash line or inside the lower eyelid. This technique ensures a refreshed and youthful look with minimal scarring.
Every individual’s aging process and genetic tendency are unique. To ensure the best approach for your needs, schedule a consultation with Dr. Varsak, who will assess your facial structure, discuss your goals, and recommend the most suitable treatment plan.
