Brow Lift in Tunisia (Eyebrow Lifting)

Eyelid Surgery in Tunisia Basic Info

Blepharoplasty consistently ranks within the top five cosmetic surgical procedures globally, and for years. According to the 2022 ASPS Procedural Statistics Release prepared by ASPS (The American Society of Plastic Surgeons), eyelid surgery ranks first among facial aesthetic procedures.

Tunisia has been a preferred destination for those considering eyelid surgery overseas. This preference is attributed to Tunisia’s skilled medical professionals, high success rates in procedures, and cost-effective options for cosmetic surgeries.

What is Blepharoplasty?

 

Blepharoplasty is commonly referred to as ‘eyelid surgery’ or ‘eyelid lift.’ The surgery involves removing excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids in order to create a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Main purpose of the procedure is correction of hooded eyes or droopy eyelids.

The procedure can be performed for both cosmetic and functional reasons and can be typically undergone under local or general anesthesia.

Types of Eyelid Surgery in Tunisia

It is the patient’s responsibility to properly inform him or herself about the procedure and make a conscious, pondered decision. Each case is different and different treatments lead to different results.

Upon consultation, a surgical plan will be established to provide you with several alternatives. The final choice is always yours.

Here are the different types of eyelid surgery in Tunisia:

Upper eyelid surgery (Upper blepharoplasty)

This surgical method addresses excess skin and fat in the upper eyelids which can create a heavy or drooping appearance. Upper eyelid surgery involves removing the excess tissue and tightening the remaining skin and muscle.

Lower eyelid surgery (Lower blepharoplasty)

Lower eyelid surgery is typically used to address under-eye bags and puffiness. The procedure involves removing excess fat and/or skin from the lower eyelids and tightening the remaining tissue.

Double eyelid surgery (Upper and lower blepharoplasty)

This type of surgery is common in Asian countries. Double eyelid surgery involves creating a crease in the upper eyelid to make the eyes appear larger and more open.

Transconjunctival blepharoplasty

This procedure is used to remove excess fat from the lower eyelids. Unlike traditional lower eyelid surgery, which involves making an incision under the eyelashes, transconjunctival blepharoplasty involves making an incision on the inside of the lower eyelid, leaving no visible scar.

Blepharoplasty Surgery Procedure in Tunisia: Step by Step

In case you have not been provided with the detailed information, here is an overview of how blepharoplasty in Tunisia typically unfolds. Bear in mind that this is an estimate and can vary depending on the individual. Here are the usual 5 steps:

  • Medical Tests & Preparation: Before the procedure, you will undergo all necessary blood tests, X-rays and scans to ensure you are in a suitable condition for the operation.
  • Anesthesia: You will be given local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia for a painless surgery.
  • Incisions: Surgeon makes an incision on the natural creases of the eyelids. So after healing incision scar will be hidden. 
  • Removal of excess tissue: The next step is the careful removal of excess skin, muscle, and fat as needed to achieve the desired result.
  • Closure: Once the necessary tissue has been removed or repositioned, the surgeon carefully closes the incisions with sutures or medical adhesive.
  • Recovery & Aftercare: After the procedure is complete, you will be monitored and usually stay the night in the hospital before returning to your Sousse hotel.

With Great Care and Kindness

Hi my name is Tracy I'm 60 yrs old from the UK. On 7th October 2024 I visited Care In Tunisia where i had a deep plane face and neck lift, upper and lower Blepharoplasty and Temporal lift. I can't praise Dr Ahmet Sakarya and his team enough, the results are absolutely amazing I couldn't be more happy. The whole team treated me with great care and kindness. Also the aftercare has been exceptional. I had great concerns going into this, but after my experience I would highly recommend anyone contemplating face lift surgery that this is the place to come and Dr Sakarya is the surgeon you should choose.

Without Hesitation

My name is James Bolton. I live in the USA. I received a hair transplant, face/neck/eyelid surgeries and 26 dental crowns. I made a total of 3 trips across the Atlantic Ocean and would do it all over again without hesitation, because of high level of care I received. This care includes all of the team members: the doctors, dentists, nurses, transplant techs and dental assistants as well as the support staff: the translators, logistics team who organized all of the transportation, the drivers and the clinics' support teams. Everybody worked very to make sure that all I had to do was to arrive at the Sousse airport. From that point forward they took care of EVERYTHING.... EVERYTHING!
