Thank you for sharing your question. It will take up to 2 weeks to recover from non-incisional double eyelid surgery. Make sure an experienced Oculoplastic Surgeon evaluates your issues and thoroughly explains options.Good luck,

Suture is used to crease a crease. Typically the swelling persists about 10 days.  Please understand that not everyone is a candidate for this type of work and the crease that is made is not always persistent.  Do your homework and consider getting actual consultations with surgeons who offer this service.

Kimberly Lee, MD · Answer

The DST procedure for double eyelid crease creation can generally take about 1-2 weeks to recover from the swelling, although every patient heals differently.  Please consult with a board certified specialist who can assist you with achieving the results you seek.
