Who is suitable for Eyelid Aesthetics (Blepharoplasty)?
Eyelid aesthetics are mostly performed by individuals over the age of 35. It is possible for anyone with a medical need to have it done at any age. One of the first structures to show aging on the human face is the upper eyelid. Eyelid aesthetics (blepharoplasty) surgery cannot stop the ongoing aging of the eyelids; but the tired appearance on the face can be stopped for about 10 years.
How is upper eyelid aesthetics performed?
Upper eyelid aesthetics (blepharoplasty) or droopy eyelid surgery is the process of removing excess skin and fat tissue from the area due to the loss of tension in the skin. The surgical scar does not attract much attention as it will remain on the upper eyelid and will be open during the day. However, in order to avoid the scar, an incision is made from the eyelid fold line and aesthetic stitches are applied. Of course, this deformation of the skin does not occur only on the eyelid, so it gives better cosmetic results when applied together with forehead lift and eyebrow lifting operations.
In addition, interventions such as almond eye aesthetics along with upper eyelid aesthetics (blepharoplasty) are frequently preferred by patients.
How is lower eyelid aesthetics performed?
The fat pads located on the cheekbones atrophy (weak) with the effect of gravity along with the aging process. This causes signs of aging in the form of slumping or edema under the lower eyelid and prominent smile lines around the mouth. The lower eyelid should be evaluated by your physician and checked for bagging and sagging. The form of treatment should be evaluated. If surgery is required, the specialist physician should initiate the planning and process. In lower eyelid aesthetics, the surgical incision is made just below the eyelashes. The skin is lifted and the fat packets are removed. If the under-eye sunkenness continues after the surgery, an under-eye fat injection may be required after recovery.
How long does it take for Eyelid Aesthetics (Blepharoplasty) surgery and post-operative recovery?
After Eyelid Aesthetic Surgery, patients do not have serious pain. Movement is allowed, provided that it is nourished and not heavy. The patient, who is discharged on the same day, is evaluated again the next day and 5 days later. Stitches are often dissolving stitches. However, when necessary, the stitches are removed painlessly without waiting for them to dissolve. After the 5th day, it is allowed to shower and return to normal life.

IVF treatment, which is preferred by couples who cannot conceive naturally and cannot have children, is a source of hope for couples who cannot have children due to the development of medicine and technology. IVF treatment is the fertilization of male and female reproductive cells outside the body under laboratory conditions. Currently, couples have a 95 percent chance of success with IVF treatments. IVF treatment is one of the most successful methods in the treatment of infertility, the cause of which is not clear, or which cannot be conceived in the most natural ways. If couples do not succeed in their first attempts at IVF treatments, they should not despair and stress immediately. Because there are no restrictions on IVF treatment.
How many times can IVF treatment be tried?
A study conducted on couples undergoing IVF treatment shows that the rate of achieving pregnancy in couples after the first three trials is 95 percent. In addition, no number can be given about the number of treatments in the remaining group. The experts are also 4. or 5. there is an opinion that the chances of IVF success in trials are slightly lower than in the first three trials. The success rate of IVF treatment does not depend on many attempts. Multiple factors, such as the age of the couples, obtaining a quality embryo, affect the success rate of IVF treatment at a critical point.
Is Success Achieved in the First Attempt in IVF?
The chances of pregnancy during the one-month treatment period with the insemination method or ovulation treatments are about 20% or slightly more than the chances of a healthy couple becoming pregnant in a month. These treatments can be tried 3 or 4 times until pregnancy is achieved, but most of the pregnancies are obtained in the first months of treatment. Continuing treatment for more than 4 years will not increase the chances of pregnancy, so you can switch to IVF treatment.
Currently, thanks to newly developed methods and applications, the success rate of in vitro fertilization treatment is gradually increasing, if success is not achieved at the first attempt, repeated attempts can be made. The chance of becoming pregnant in a month with IVF treatments varies depending on age, but on average it is up to 50-60%. Pregnancy rates can increase by more than 90% after 4 applications when more than one treatment is performed in a row. For this reason, the chances of becoming pregnant increase with the number of attempts in couples who do not have a specific problem.
