Eyelid Surgery - How Long to Follow-up?

Dear Santa Barbara7926,

You shouldn't feel abandoned.  If you ever feel like you need to see your surgeon, you should make an appointment for a check up.  Final results can take up to 6 months to see a difference.  I like seeing my patients when they are fully healed so we can go over their before and after pictures together.  I think it helps keep the relationship great and patients are happy.

Best,

Nima Shemirani

Hi Santa Barbara7926-

I see patients one day, one week, three months and one year after eyelid surgery. I would recommend that you make an appointment about 3-4 months after the initial surgery just to get the peace of mind that everything is going well.

Sincerely,

Tom Kaniff

I usually see my patients in one week and then at two to three months but I always tell them they are welcome to see me before their appointment if they want to.  I'm sure your surgeon would not mind seeing you.
