Surgical Approach and Techniques

• Anesthesia: Blepharoplasty can be performed under sedation or general anesthesia, based on patient needs and comfort.
• Procedure Location: This outpatient procedure is conducted in our advanced surgical center, requiring post-operative care arrangements for a safe recovery.‍
• Incisions and Corrections: Small, discreet incisions are made in the natural folds of the eyelid to minimize visible scarring. Excess skin, muscle, and fat are carefully adjusted or removed to rejuvenate the eye area.

Recovery from eyelid surgery is designed to be as comfortable and effective as possible, with visible improvements emerging shortly after the procedure.

Post-Operative Care and Healing Timeline

• Initial Days: Expect swelling and some vision blurring, which begin to subside after the third day.
• Stitch Removal and Makeup: Stitches are removed within 4-5 days, and makeup can be used to conceal any lingering bruising or swelling.
• Resuming Activities: Most patients resume normal activities within 7-10 days and see the full benefits of their new look within 10-14 days.‍
• Long-Term Healing: Scars may take about 6 months to fully mature and lose their redness.
