Eyelid lift in Turkey is a surgical procedure that tightens the eyelids by removing the sagging skin and accumulated fats from both lower and upper eyelids and reshaping them to fit the appearance of the eyes. The procedure takes about two hours if it involves both upper and lower eyelids.

It also has some low-risk side effects, such as swelling, but it disappears within one or two weeks. The results of the upper eyelid last for 5-7 years, while it is rare for the person to undergo the lower eyelid surgery again because it lasts for a long time.
