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.

Answer: Recovery after asian double eyelid Dear 7690,Thank you for your questions.Recovery after incision based double eyelid surgery is usually a week or so. There are sutures that need to be removed after 5-7 days, depending on the surgeon's preferences. At the end of the week, there will still be swelling which will make the fold appear larger and higher than it will eventually settle out to be. This sometimes takes 6-10 months after surgery. My preference in a case such as yours would be to use a non-incisional method. There are no sutures to remove. Patients can look fairly normal in 2-3 days. The period of swelling is much shorter and even in one week patients can have their swelling mostly resolved.
