What is eyelid surgery?
Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle.
What is the recovery time for eyelid surgery?
Recovery time for eyelid surgery varies depending on the extent of the procedure but typically takes 1-2 weeks. Patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort during this time.
What are the risks and complications of eyelid surgery?
Risks and complications associated with eyelid surgery include bleeding, infection, scarring, dry eyes, vision changes, and asymmetry. Discuss these with your surgeon before the procedure.
How long do the results of eyelid surgery last?
Eyelid surgery results are long-lasting but can be affected by factors like aging, sun exposure, and smoking.
How is eyelid surgery performed?
Eyelid surgery is typically done under local anesthesia and takes 1-3 hours, depending on the procedure’s extent. The surgeon makes incisions along the eyelids’ natural creases to remove excess skin, fat, and muscle, closing them with sutures or surgical tape.
