how long an upper eye lid lift recovery will take?

As you can see, everyone has their own protocols.  In my practice, sutures come out on post-op day 4 and then you're asked to be gentle with your incisions for 2 more weeks then you can resume activities as desired.  You could have bruising that will take 1-2 weeks to resolve as well.

Visible swelling and bruising takes up to 2 weeks to resolve after the upper lid Blepharoplasty has been performed. In our office, we use dissolvable stitches which disappear at approximately one week. Once the sutures have dissolved, make up can be applied over the bruising and swelling and patients are able to get back into their social and work environment. There is usually minimal pain with upper eyelid lift. For many examples of eyelid surgery, please see the link below
