Is 4 weeks enough time to heal after upper and lower blepharoplasty?

Hello wandajenn, thank you for your question! In our practice we perform many upper/lower blepharoplasty procedures. In our experience, four weeks is a decent amount of time for initial recovery, but healing varies from person to person. By the four-week mark, many patients experience reduced swelling and bruising and can often return to their normal activities. However, complete healing, including the final appearance of the surgical results, might take several months. I hope this helped, best of luck!

Typically 1 month is sufficient time to heal from upper and lower blepharoplasty. I typically tell my patients that after 1 month (with make up on) they will be ready for all social events.

The simple answer to your question is that you are really cutting your timing close and better to defer your surgery until after the wedding. Assuming it will take two weeks to arrange your surgery, I don't think that you have enough time to have surgery, heal to a level that you don't feel self conscious, etc.
