Initially, your eyelids may feel tight, and there will be some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. You may also experience mild blurriness of vision or light sensitivity. Patients must avoid bending, straining, or lifting during the first week. Return to work and normal activity may be possible within 2-3 weeks. Your final result should be evident in 2-3 months.
Because aging weakens muscles around the eyes and fat accumulation can cause bagging and unnatural bulges, the results are that of a tired, undesirable look. To correct these problems, a blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, can be performed by removing a narrow section of skin or small pockets of excess fat, leaving a nearly invisible external scar. The results are evident immediately, providing a rested and refreshed appearance. The upper eyelids will no longer droop, while the skin under the eyelids is smooth and firm.
