I would like to have a laser blepharoplasty double eyelid surgery but is afraid over the healing periods. What will the effects be after one week?
Answer: Eyelid Surgery
After 1 week, you will still see some effects of the surgery. You can expect some swelling 2-3 weeks out, but should rapidly improve after that time. At 4-6 weeks, things should be looking very good. The variables will be how deep your fat was to be removed if any. If there was not any fat removed, and all they removed was skin, you will heal much quicker.

Answer: Recovery after laser blepharoplasty Your recovery time depends in large part on what is specifically meant by the term "laser" blepharoplasty. If the laser is being used to resurface or smooth out wrinkles, then you could expect some redness of the skin to be present for several weeks. However, after about a week, it should be pretty easy to cover the redness with makeup. In general, most patients who have eyelid surgery of any kind, look pretty good at about one week after surgery but can expect varying degrees of redness or bruising that may require you to wear coverup makeup so that you feel comfortable being seen in public.

Answer: Bleph healing time
Upper bleph done under local while on low salt and low carb diet can look great at one week. Very important to maintain blood pressure control and avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, red wine and Thi black mushrooms.

Answer: Laser blepharoplasty implies the use of a CO2 laser to make the incisions.
Please be aware that the use of the CO2 laser for making eyelid surgery is more marketing hooey than anything else. I must admit that using the laser is fun but it does not make for a better surgery. In particular for double fold surgery, the most critical aspect of the surgery is the brain of the surgery: do they really understand double fold surgery. To make a double fold surgery, precision is critical as is a detailed experience performing anchor blepharoplasty. The CO2 laser damages the skin much more significantly than a cold steel scalpel. This means that suture must be left in much longer with CO2 than with an incision made with steel. For down time, it is about a week. However your fold will look a bit swollen and high for many weeks after surgery so thing about this when considering the timing of eyelid surgery.

Answer: Laser blepharoplasty It depends what you are talking about.
If it's laser resurfacing, the healing can be a few days to a week.
Resurfacing would not be the treatment for double eyelids. That would likely be more of an eye lift. Whether a laser or a scalpel is used, the healing for upper lids is usually 5-7 days. Lower lids is usually 5-10 depending on procedure.
