These procedures offer very fast results with a refreshed and more alert appearance often clear within the two week mark. It is important to protect the skin around your eyes from the sun and wind to speed up your recovery. SPF sun protection and tinted sunglasses are strongly recommended.
The results of upper and lower blepharoplasty are long-lasting; however, the ageing process will continue. There are ways to get maximum longevity from your new look, and we will explain these to you as part of your after-care program.
Some swelling and bruising is expected and no cause for alarm. This will subside within a couple of days after surgery. Light activities are fine to resume the next day, and we strongly recommend dark sunglasses to not only protect the eye area, but also conceal stitches, bruising or swelling. If required, an oral prophylactic antibiotic or oral painkillers may be prescribed to lessen the pain in the days after surgery.
From here, any non-absorbent stitches will be removed once the incision has healed, usually one-week after the procedure. Scarring will be inconspicuous and fade over time. Not all upper and lower blepharoplasty procedures involve sutures or a visible scar.
Fluid retention is the main cause of these conditions. This takes place when water is stored in the skin tissue under the eye. In the case of dark circles under the eye, appear when blood vessels in the delicate skin areas become more prominent.
Before proceeding with any surgical procedure, patients should seek a second opinion from qualified healthcare practitioners.
