Upper Face Reshaping Surgery is not a standardized procedure; rather, it is a comprehensive approach that includes various surgical techniques which can be combined based on different anatomical needs. This approach aims to achieve a more proportionate, dynamic, and youthful appearance, where the eyes become more prominent.
Not a One-Size-Fits-All, but a Personalized Combination
Each individual's facial anatomy and aesthetic needs are unique. Therefore, instead of applying the same procedure to every patient, upper face reshaping surgery is performed through a customized plan that brings together different techniques according to the patient’s specific requirements.
The commonly used surgical techniques within this scope include:
Upper Eyelid Aesthetic Surgery & Lower Eyelid Aesthetic Surgery
1. Upper and Mid-Face Contouring with Endoscopic Temporal-Facelift
This is the primary procedure applied to patients who require reshaping of both the upper and mid-face. It is especially preferred for individuals with drooping eyebrows, a perpetually tired expression, and sagging in the mid-face area.
Through this procedure:
-
The brows are reshaped,
-
The tired and droopy appearance of the eyes is corrected,
-
The mid-face is lifted to achieve a more vibrant look that brings the eyes into focus.

At the same time, a noticeable improvement is achieved in the overall contour of the upper and mid-face.
2. Forehead Lift for Balancing Deep-Set Eyes
In patients with deep-set eyes and anatomically short eyebrow-to-eye distance, a forehead lift is performed to elevate the forehead region. Especially by lifting the inner and middle segments of the brow, the hollow appearance of the eyes is reduced and becomes more pronounced. This contributes to a more balanced and radiant look.
The most important indication for including a forehead lift in upper face reshaping is when the inner and outer parts of the brow are positioned below the frontal bone. In individuals with this facial structure, combining a forehead lift with a temporal lift helps make the eyes more prominent and the face more focused.
3. Upper and Lower Eyelid Aesthetic Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Aesthetic issues in the upper and lower eyelids can appear regardless of age. In this context, the goal is to remove excess skin, fat pads, and sagging in the eyelids.
Adding blepharoplasty to upper face reshaping surgery reduces the tired and sad expression around the eyes and provides a more refreshed and alert appearance.

4. Fat Injection and SVF (Stromal Vascular Fraction) Applications
Some individuals experience volume loss in the mid-face region. To address this, fat grafts harvested from the patient are processed and injected into the mid-face area to restore volume.
On the other hand, some individuals may have dark, circular rings around the lower eyelids independent of age. In these cases, a SVF (Stromal Vascular Fraction) concentrate—rich in stem cells and growth factors—obtained from the patient’s own fat tissue through special processes, is injected into these areas.
This treatment:
-
Reduces the pigmentation of the dark circles,
-
Results in a more vibrant, radiant, and youthful eye area,
-
Improves skin quality (moisture, firmness, tone),
-
Supports tissue repair,
-
Enhances volumization,
-
Provides natural-looking results.

Conclusion: A Rested, Balanced, and Timeless Upper Face
Upper Face Reshaping Surgery aims to provide a youthful yet subtle appearance—redefining natural facial proportions without disrupting them.
Each patient is evaluated holistically, and the most suitable combination of techniques is selected through careful planning.
Every face is unique. Therefore, just as the techniques applied must be personalized, so must the planning process itself. Our goal is not to turn you into someone else, but to reveal the best version of your own face.
