What’s Permanent Eyelid Surgery?

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure targeted at removing extra skin, fat, and muscle mass from the lower and upper eyelids.

The great part is: The results are dramatic, enhancing both your appearance and your confidence, plus the down time is reasonable and the result is long lasting. 

How Does the Procedure Work?

Blepharoplasty is usually done under local anesthesia with sedation, though general anesthesia is also an option. The doctor makes incisions along the natural creases of the eyelids, reducing your risk of visible scarring. From there, they remove and reposition extra tissue to create a naturally younger appearance. 

What’s the Recovery Process Like?

Recovery from the eyelid procedure is usually fast and fairly straightforward. Here is a general guideline of what you can expect:

• Initial Recovery: Expect moderate bruising and swelling for the first week. Applying cold compresses and keeping your head elevated will help reduce swelling.
• Follow-up: Most patients are able to return to work and some activities within 10 to 14 days. Strenuous activities must be avoided for at least a couple of weeks.
• Final Results: While first improvements are noticeable instantly, it can take a few months for the ultimate results to fully develop as swelling consistently diminishes.

Choosing an established, experienced surgeon reduces any risks of the treatment. Always talk about potential concerns and results together with your surgeon beforehand.
