A more rested, fresh and natural look around the eyes — without changing your expression. The eye area is one of the first places tiredness and ageing show; the aim is to make your eyes look more open and refreshed while keeping your own character.
Eye contour aesthetics covers surgical procedures that improve the upper eyelids, lower eyelids and eyebrow area — designed to reduce a tired, sad or aged expression and create a more rested look around the eyes. The area should be read as a whole: sometimes the issue is excess upper-eyelid skin, sometimes brows sitting lower than they should, sometimes under-eye bags or lower-lid looseness.
So it isn’t a single standard procedure — it’s a personalised plan that may include upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, brow lift, or a combination, chosen around your eyelid structure, eyebrow position, skin quality, facial proportions and expectations.

Upper blepharoplasty
Corrects excess skin, heaviness or sagging in the upper eyelid for a lighter, more rested look — with the incision hidden in the natural crease.
Lower blepharoplasty
Softens under-eye bags, puffiness and loose skin, smoothing the transition to the cheek — without hollowing the area.
Brow repositioning
Repositions low brows that add a tired or heavy look, opening up the eyes — without an exaggerated or surprised expression.
The upper eyelids, lower eyelids and eyebrows are closely connected — a change in one area affects how the others appear, so eye contour aesthetics is planned with a full upper-face evaluation.
If upper eyelid surgery is performed without considering brow position, the result may not fully correct the tired look. If lower-lid bags are treated without considering cheek support, the transition between eye and cheek can still look uneven. Dr. Nuran Kalekoğlu ENT Specialist | Rhinoplasty & Facial Aesthetic Surgeon evaluates the eyes together with the eyebrows, forehead, cheeks and overall expression.

Eyelid surgery without brow position may not fully lift a tired look.
Lower-lid bags are read against cheek support for a smooth transition.
Planning begins with a detailed facial evaluation — the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, eyebrow position, skin quality, facial symmetry and general expression examined together, alongside your own concerns. Some people feel they always look tired; others feel their eyes look smaller, heavier or older. The most important point is choosing the right procedure for the right person — sometimes upper eyelid surgery alone, sometimes lower eyelid surgery, sometimes a brow lift combined with eyelid surgery.
Eye contour aesthetics is performed according to your personalised plan. Upper eyelid surgery removes excess skin through an incision in the natural crease; the lower-eyelid technique depends on your anatomy, evaluating under-eye fat, loose skin and eyelid support; if a brow lift is included, the eyebrow position is adjusted to support a more open eye area. Each step is planned conservatively — the eye area should look refreshed, not changed.

Upper incisions sit in the eyelid crease, so they fade as healing progresses.
The eyes look refreshed — you still look unmistakably like yourself.
Recovery depends on which procedures are performed — swelling, bruising, mild tightness and sensitivity around the eyes are expected early. The first week is the most sensitive stage: cold application, keeping the head elevated and following the instructions help; protect the eye area from trauma and unnecessary pressure.
Swelling and bruising are most noticeable. The eyes may feel tight, sensitive or slightly dry.
Bruising usually begins to fade and most people feel more comfortable socially.
The eye area looks more natural, though subtle swelling may continue.
The eyelids and brow area keep settling gradually; finer swelling can last longer when more than one procedure is done.
The best eye contour result isn’t one that makes you look different — it’s one that makes you look more rested, more energetic and naturally refreshed. The aim is to reduce a tired, sad or aged expression without removing the natural character of the eyes; over-correction can look unnatural, so planning is measured and personalised.
A successful result preserves your facial identity: the eyes look brighter and more dynamic, but you still look like yourself.
It may suit people with upper-eyelid sagging, under-eye bags, tired-looking eyes, a low eyebrow position or heaviness around the eyes — or who simply feel their eyes make them look older, sadder or more tired than they feel. But suitability always depends on a detailed evaluation.

"I had my rhinoplasty done by Dr. Nuran, and I couldn't be happier. She was incredibly professional, talented and attentive throughout. The outcome exceeded my expectations and truly changed my life — I feel so much more confident now. What impressed me most was how smooth the recovery was: almost no swelling or bruising, which speaks volumes about her skill. My nose looks beautiful and natural, exactly what I hoped for."
"I come from Germany and had my nose operated on by Dr. Nuran Erkalp a week ago. I'm very happy with my decision to have the operation in Turkey. The doctor and her team are very friendly and competent — the operation and the whole organisation went really well, and I was looked after very well at the hospital. I can now breathe much better than before. If I had to choose again, I would have her operate on me."
"Knowledge and experience are built up over time. For a patient, the doctor is everything — you first look at their manner, their style, their knowledge, and above all their warmth. Dr. Nuran has all of this and more: her professional knowledge is beyond excellent, and her energy and approach are perfect in every way. I'd go so far as to say she's among the very finest ENT surgeons in the world."
"My years-long inability to breathe was solved thanks to Dr. Nuran. I was so happy with the care from her and her team before, during and after surgery. She shaped my nose to suit my face and resolved my breathing problem at the same time. I'm absolutely delighted."
"She performed a perfect rhinoplasty and deviation surgery, correcting my nasal passages like an architect. I hadn't realised I wasn't really breathing — thanks to her my oxygen levels rose and I made peace with life. My one condition was that the outside of my nose shouldn't change at all, and she kept it exactly as promised. She even stayed by my side until I came round from the anaesthesia. With gratitude, in every deep breath."
"Dr. Nuran is a true master. I'm someone who's wary of recommendations — especially in medicine — yet I recommend her to everyone without hesitation. She's been my doctor for years and has never left a complaint of mine uncured. A month ago I had deviation surgery and an endoscopy for sleep apnoea. In 57 years I've never met anyone so skilled, so dedicated and so full of energy. My breathing feels like childhood again, and I'm free of the sleep apnoea risk."
"I'm now past the first month after my operation and already have exactly the nose I wanted. Even though it's still slightly swollen, it suits my face beautifully. People can't believe I had surgery — it looks incredibly natural. Everyone at the clinic was attentive and so helpful. I'm very happy."
"Dr. Nuran performed my rhinoplasty. She managed the whole process before and after surgery beautifully and answered every question with patience. My nose now looks both natural and perfectly suited to my face. I'm so glad I chose her, and I recommend her wholeheartedly."
"I met Dr. Nuran through a friend, and the wait for my nose surgery was truly worth it — the result is beyond even my dreams. Most importantly, I never have any trouble breathing. Health matters just as much as aesthetics, and everything turned out perfect. Thank you, Doctor."
"On a friend's recommendation I chose Dr. Nuran Kalekoğlu. I had my surgery 2.5 months ago — I had both a breathing problem and a drooping nose I was unhappy with. I trusted her completely and everything went perfectly. She looks after her patients wonderfully and is always ready to help. Özlem was kind and helpful in every way too."
"Thank you so much to Dr. Nuran and her team. I was very anxious before surgery, but I'm so grateful they showed me there was nothing to fear. Afterwards I had no pain and nothing that disrupted my daily life. It hasn't even been a month, and my nose already looks just the way I wanted. My advice to anxious patients like me: you can trust Dr. Nuran with your eyes closed."
"Endless thanks to Dr. Nuran and her team, who supported me through a very successful rhinoplasty. Their constant support on every matter and the warm, family-like atmosphere made the surgery and recovery so much easier to get through."
"Once again — I'm so glad I met Dr. Nuran and had my nose surgery. I had some reservations beforehand, but it was never as hard as I expected and I got through it without pain. With the right choice of doctor we achieved a wonderful result. So glad I chose you."
"Dr. Nuran is a true expert in her field. She took great care at every stage and left no question unanswered — I only wish I'd come sooner. You can place your trust in her with complete confidence. I absolutely recommend her."
"Dr. Nuran performed my husband's nose surgery a month ago. Between her surgical skill and her warm manner, she made us feel incredibly relaxed and safe. She and her team answered every question and message as quickly as possible, which made us very happy. Thank you again."

Eye contour aesthetics includes procedures such as upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery and brow lift. The aim is to create a more rested and natural appearance around the eyes.
Sometimes it is enough, but not always. If low eyebrow position also contributes to the heavy appearance, brow lift may need to be considered.
Eyelid surgery focuses on excess skin, tissue or puffiness around the eyelids. Brow lift focuses on eyebrow position and upper-face balance.
The goal is not to change your expression. A well-planned procedure should make the eye area look fresher while preserving your natural facial identity.
Early recovery usually improves within the first weeks. Swelling and subtle tissue changes may continue to settle gradually over time.
