Answer: When to judge final results of blepharoplasty Thank you for your good question. Many patients judge the results of their eyelid surgery prematurely. The swelling following blepharoplasty can take up to 6 months to resolve and the scars can take up to a year to fully complete the healing process. I hope you find this helpful.Good luck,

Answer: Everybody is different Scars fade very quickly to become invisible within a few weeks. Your Cosmetic Surgeon will place the upper eyelid scar in the fold of skin and the lower eyelid scar just under your lower eyelashes. He will decide if you need absorbable or non-absorbable sutures, which can be removed at your next appointment in 5 to 7 days time.Swelling and bruising can generally last about 5 to 7 days after surgery. Your Plastic Surgeon will advise you on the aftercare and will carry out a review in approximately one week.It is worth waiting up to 3 months though for the final result.

Answer: Final results for blepharoplasty Bruising typically lasts 7-10 days and swelling goes away by three weeks. The final results should be seen by three months. This is especially true if you have had canthoplasty.I hope this helps :)

Answer: Healing after eyelid surgery Recovery time after eyelid surgery varies greatly between individuals. The upper eyelids heal very quickly but complete healing of the lower eyelids can take six weeks if the muscle and fat are treated.I will usually use sutures which will dissolve on their own, without need for removal. Initial mild discomfort is controlled with oral medication.Patients who wear contact lenses can usually wear them again after 10–14 days.Swelling, discoloration, and some bruising are to be expected. It is not unusual to have some difficulty seeing during the first day or two after surgery because of the swelling and eye lubricants/ointment used during and after surgery.
