You should be presentable in1-2 weeks following Asian eyelid surgery. I normally advise my patients toapply makeup after their sutures have either been removed or dissolved(typically 7-10 days following surgery).

With a good response to phenylephrine and a ptosis in the 2 mm - 2.5 mm range, an internal approach (conjunctival muellerectomy) should be an optimal approach. The eyelid structural differences seen in Asian eyelids should not make the operation more difficult to perform....
The swelling that you are experiencing following your blepharoplasty is normal. I advise my patients that after surgery they will most likely experience some noticeable swelling that will subside within two to six weeks. Patients should know some minor swelling can remain for as long as six...
