The Patient's Goals
We are pleased to present the comprehensive blepharoplasty before and after results of a 42-year-old patient who traveled to AKM Clinic from the USA. Like many professionals in their early 40s, she noticed that her eyes were conveying fatigue even when she felt well-rested. Her journey is an ideal case study for those researching upper and lower blepharoplasty before and after, demonstrating how a combined approach can erase years from the face while maintaining a completely natural expression.
During her virtual consultation, the patient explained that her “tired look” was affecting her confidence in both social and professional settings. Her concerns aligned with specific high-intent searches for eyelid surgery before and after:
- Upper Eyelid Hooding: Excess skin on the upper lids (hooded eyes) that made her eyes appear smaller and heavier.
- Lower Eye Bags: Persistent puffiness and fat herniation under the eyes that resisted skincare and sleep.
- Fear of an “Operated” Look: Coming from the US, she was specifically looking for natural blepharoplasty results—she wanted to look refreshed, not “wide-eyed” or startled.
Surgeon's Expert Approach
To achieve this balanced revitalization, we performed a combined Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty:
- Upper Blepharoplasty: We carefully removed the excess skin and a small amount of fat to open up the gaze. The incision was placed in the natural crease to ensure it remains invisible, a key factor in upper eyelid surgery before and after satisfaction.
- Lower Blepharoplasty: We addressed the under-eye bags by repositioning and removing the herniated fat pads. This smoothed the transition between the lower lid and the cheek, eliminating the shadow that causes dark circles.
- Preservation Philosophy: Adhering to our “Rejuvenation, Not Alteration” philosophy, we ensured that the shape of her eyes remained unchanged, simply revealing their natural beauty.
Results & Analysis: The post-operative images display a stunning restoration of brightness and energy to the face.
- Front View: The heavy, tired expression is completely gone. Her eyes look alert, youthful, and vibrant.
- 3/4 Profile: The under-eye area is smooth and firm. The lower blepharoplasty before and after difference is dramatic yet natural.

I am beyond grateful I went with AKM Clinic for my deep plane face and neck lift, upper eyelid, and co2 laser. Dr. Akif has magic hands and my results are truly incredible! I came from the US and assistant Emine was the best in assuring every detail was coordinated and communicated with me beyond my expectations every step of the way. 10 out of 10 to the entire team! I couldn’t be more pleased!
Jakayla USA
Had a deep plane facelift and lower eyelid procedure at AKM Clinic 7 months ago. The results are fantastic - very subtle and natural. I didn’t expect the entire experience to be so comfortable. Hande managed everything and kept in contact even after I returned to USA. I’m beyond pleased with the outcome and the care I received. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

I had a face, neck and arm lift at AKM. I’m just over 4 weeks post and couldn’t be happier with the results. The entire experience was wonderful! My coordinator, Khadija made me feel comfortable from beginning to end! I highly recommend AKM and will definitely go back for other procedures!
