Candidates for Eyelid Surgery
YOUR CUSTOM EYE SURGERY: A YOUNGER-LOOKING YOU. Blepharoplasty, commonly called eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic procedure that adjusts the shape of the eyelids and restores a bright, youthful eye appearance. You may be considering eyelid surgery to address saggy, droopy eyelids, or heavy bags beneath your eyes. The procedure involves removing excess saggy skin with an incision made in the eyelid fold. For results that appear natural and refreshed, not wide-eyed, this surgery requires a highly skilled surgeon.
How should I prepare for surgery?

- Stop chewing tobacco 4 weeks before surgery
- No alcohol 24 hours before surgery.
- Stop all anti-aging products around the eyes (Retin-A/tretinoin) 1 week before surgery
What are my post-operative instructions?
General guidelines:
- If you have IV anesthesia you will need someone to drive you home after surgery and help you at home for 1 day
- Get plenty of rest.
Follow a balanced diet.
- Exercising less may lead to constipation, so you may want to add raw fruit to your diet, and drink more fluids.
- Even when not taking pain medications, avoid alcohol for 3 weeks after surgery. Alcohol causes fluid to build-up in your body.

Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery - FAQ
Following are some common questions asked by patients considering Blepharoplasty PROCDERE
What to expect at a surgery consultation?
Patients can expect to provide a detailed health history to their surgeon during the consultation. “I ask about their current complaints and also like to discuss their other medical problems, prior surgery, and family history,” clarifies our doctors.
How long is the Eyelid Surgery procedure?
Eyelid Surgery will take between one and two hours to complete. The length of time will depend on the extent of correction required.
When can I return to work after my Eyelid Surgery?
Patients generally feel well enough to return to work or school between seven and ten days after surgery. By this time, the majority of bruising and swelling will have diminished.
Is Eyelid Surgery painful?
While the surgery is generally painless, you might experience some swelling and bruising afterward. Most people feel comfortable going out in public within 10 to 14 days, though full recovery can take a few months. During your blepharoplasty recovery, using cold compresses and antibiotic ointment can help reduce swelling.
Will scarring be noticeable?
Due to the sensitive nature of the skin on your eyelids, it typically heals more quickly and efficiently compared to other parts of the body. Once the incisions from upper blepharoplasty have fully healed, any scars will generally be subtle and only noticeable to those who are specifically looking for them, and even then, primarily when your eyes are closed
How long will results last?
The duration of results can differ among patients, but typically, the effects of upper eyelid surgery last around 5 to 7 years, while the results of lower eyelid surgery are generally permanent. For upper eyelids, it’s common for the skin to start sagging again after several years.
Am i a good candidate for Eyelid Surgery?
You might be a good candidate for eyelid lift surgery if you have sagging or drooping eyelid skin that could also affect your vision, or if you experience puffiness, bags, or dark circles under your eyes. Additionally, if your eyes show signs of aging (note: drooping can be genetic and may happen in younger individuals), you may benefit from this procedure.
How long does it take to recover from eyelid surgery?
Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, generally requires about 10 to 14 days for recovery before you feel comfortable going out in public, though complete healing can take several months. Here’s what to expect during the recovery process:
- Swelling and Bruising: Your eyelids may be swollen and bruised for 1 to 3 weeks.
- Scars: Scars from the surgical incisions can take months to fade.
- Redness: Any visible redness typically takes about six months to fully diminish.
- Stitches: If your incisions were closed with removable stitches, they will be removed within 5 to 10 days.
To help expedite your recovery, consider the following tips:
- Follow your doctor’s instructions for cleaning and caring for your eyes.
- Use cold compresses and antibiotic ointment to reduce swelling.
- Rest your eyes as much as possible.
- Avoid activities that may cause dry eyes, such as reading or watching TV.
- Have someone stay with you for at least the first 24 to 72 hours.
