Generally speaking, how long after upper and lower bleph would I be able to have a face to face conversation, with somebody who knows me well, without them asking what happened to my eyes (with makeup on)? I know people say two weeks, but is it true that in this time it would be possible/likely for someone to notice NO scars/swelling/bruising without close inspection?

Answer: Blepharoplasty Healing Time The saying is true, everyone heals differently. I caution my patients that it will be about 10-14 days before all the swelling and bruising has subsided. Often times, they are pleasantly surprised because it does not take this long but if there are any unforeseen issues that arise they have allowed themselves the time they need to heal. Assuming all goes well and you are a quick healer, I would say two full weeks before anyone who is inspecting you closely will notice that you have had anything done.

Answer: Healing after blepharoplasty We remove blepharoplasty sutures 3-5 days after the surgery and most patients put a little makeup on and go back to their normal lifestyle, including seeing friends and co-workers. Occasionally, patients swell or bruise more than average and it may take them a full 10-14 days to look really good, but I think your two week timescale is very realistic.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Rejuvenation SpecialistQuintessa Aesthetic Centers

Answer: Two weeks is a good bench mark That does not mean every patient meets that bench mark. However most patients by two weeks are at a point where others will not immediately notice the recent surgery. However you are not perfect either. For what you are describing more time is really needed but most people find the two week time frame workable for returning to work.
