Asian Double Eyelid Surgery Recovery Time
What's the average/typical recovery time after a double eyelid surgery (incision based)? I'm a male, I can't apply make up to hide any scars. So I would like to know how long it will take for the scars and swollenness to go away.

Asian eyelid surgery recovery is 1-2 weeks for most patients
Each patient is different, but most patients have little swelling or bruising and are "socially acceptable" by two weeks from surgery. Some will have hardly any swelling or bruising, and are out and about in several days. These patients think you are a genius plastic surgeon and brag about you to their friends. If one of these friends have the same exact surgery by the same exact surgeon, and with the same exact attention to detail and precision, but become nauseated by excess pain...

Recovery from Asian Blepharoplasty varies and depends on the patient
Recovery from Asian Blepharoplasty varies and depends on the patient. Generally, the recover takes a week or so. The swelling in the eyes can sometimes take longer to get over depending on your genetics, likelihood of bleeding, your bodies inherent healing properties, etc. Recovery is typically longer than standard blepharoplasty.
With Asian blepharoplasty, you have to get to a deeper level in order to recreate the crease. This extra dissection can lead to more swelling, bruising, etc....

Asian Double Eyelid Surgery
Recovery time for double eyelid surgery is about one week. However, if you are concerned about scars and residual swelling you may need to plan for a longer recovery time. It’s hard to predict specific healing/recovery times because everybody is different. Consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to see if you are a candidate for double eyelid surgery and based on your personal health history what your recovery time may be.

Recovery time after Asian eyelid surgery
Asian eyelid surgery or double eyelid surgery is sometimes called can be performed with a less invasive technique using sutures alone or an incision technique where skin or fat or muscle is removed or simply rearranged to create a new crease in a more pleasing position. Healing from the less invasive suture technique can take as little as 2 to 3 days but can easily take as long as a week if bruising occurs. The incision technique has bruising less often because the incision creates an open...

Recovery time for Asian eyelid surgery
This depends on the type of technique used.
For incision surgery, if the surgery is limited to the area above the crease and there is minimal disturbance of the tissue below the crease, then the recovery time (to work) may be as little as 7d.
If your anatomy requires extensive dissection below the level of the crease (to correct, e.g., ptosis, or heavy fat deposits), it may go two weeks.
If you are a candidate for the suture-only method, recovery time is about 4d. We post...

Asian eyelid surgery recovery relatively short
Recovery following Asian eyelid surgery is relatively short. Sutures are removed after only three to five days. There is usually minimal swelling and bruising. Driving a car is permissible after three days. But for all the swelling to go away will take three to six weeks. However most normal activities can be resumed within one week.

Healing following blepharoplasty
It usually takes 10-14 days to heal following the Asian eyelid procedure. The bruising is gone as well as most of the swelling by 14 days. It takes up to 6 months to get to your final result.

Healing after Asian Eyelid Surgery is different short vs. long term
I can empathize with your situation. Having a dramatic change in appearance can never be timed perfectly and ideally spending time away from you normal enviroment would be ideal in a sense. But, think about what you are about to undergo. It will most definitely change your appearance but at the same time ideally you desire that other people will not really notice a drastic difference. There are different components that will affect your recovery. The actual procedure performed along with...

Asian Double Eyelid Surgery Recovery Time
Healing varies from person to person. The scar should be healed in two weeks. Sometimes it heals sooner. Swelling and bruising are also issues that could potentially come up and you should be aware of it. That also usually lasts about two weeks. in some cases it can last longer.

Double eyelid surgery - 3 months healing time for final results
The typical recovery time is one to two weeks. That does not mean your eyelids will be healed completely but that you should be able to go out in public quite comfortably.
Keep in mind that swelling after double eyelid surgery is more significant than with a standard Blepharoplasty. The crease that has been surgically created will appear too high for the first few months. This resolves but does take some patience and can take from three to six months.
