How long is required for swelling to fully recover after double eyelid surgery (non-incision method)? (Photo)

Question

It's been 11 days since my double eyelid surgery (non-incision). However, I noticed that my eyes are not balanced. Is it due to the swelling? How long should I wait to see the final result?

Samuel Baharestani, MD, FACS · Answer

It is common for the swelling to take up to several weeks to subside. Make sure your surgeon is aware of your concerns, but don't make any final judgements for a few more weeks.  Good luck!

Costas Papageorgiou, MD, FACS · Answer

Although the first two weeks following surgery are the most critical,  the swelling can take up to six weeks to subside. In some patients the healing process can be more prolonged even with minimally invasive approaches like the non incision eyelid surgery. I would definiely wait a few more weeks.
