A friend of mine told me that I would have to allow 6 months for the full benefits of the upper eyelid Blepharoplasty I am considering. Is it realistic to think that the results will continue to improve for 6 months? Isn't a couple months much more logical?
Answer: Post operative results Dear Darby, healing can be quite variable. Most of the early/significant changes occur in the first month. You should be presentable by 10 days. Less noticable changes over the next three months - and depending on the type of surgery/combination of surgeries - healing can take 6 months to a year.

Answer: You should see a noticeable improvement in your eyelids 2 to 4 weeks after upper blepharoplasty. With upper blepharoplasty, you should notice an attractive return of an upper lid crease shortly after surgery. By 7-10 days most people resume work and normal social activities and are thrilled with their results.

Answer: Blepharoplasty recovery Typical healing after blepharoplasty occurs within the first few weeks after surgery and you should be back to full activity after that and look relatively healed. However, there will continue to be subtle changes in swelling and scar line that can take up to 6 months for final healing. If you are considering eyelid revision after blepharoplasty, I recommend waiting until you are completely healed, unless there is an urgent need to intervene such as an infection, wound dehiscence etc. Hope this helps.

Answer: Final blepharoplasty results in 2-3 months Final blepharoplasty results are usually seen two to three months after the procedure has been performed. It usually takes a couple of months for the incision to heal, and most of the visual swelling is gone in approximately one month.
