Healing time for upper eyelid blepharoplasty

Amir M. Karam, MD answers: Predicting final results from Blepharoplasty?

I had bilateral upper lid Blepharoplasty about 10 days ago and I am wondering if the slight asymmetry will resolve? My right side has been more swollen since post op day 1.

The swelling has significantly decreased but I noticed the right side is still a little droopy, is this an indication of what my final result will be?

 Typically, healing time is about 1-2 weeks for an upper blepharoplasty; however, for the final results to be apparent it can take several months.  It takes time for all the swelling to settle and things to even out.
