The fat in the bloated, puffy eyelids is permanent and this will not reoccur. However, skin laxity along the tiny wrinkles can recur to varying degrees as the skin continues to age. Even if the aging process continues, the results after blepharoplasty can last for many years. Some patients may have another revision in their old age. The results can last up to 15 years After blepharoplasty, the eyelids are flat, wrinkle-free, the skin is shiny, and there are usually no surgical marks on the skin incisions. A few patients will have redness on the incisions and mild scarring in the early stages, which usually disappears in about 1-3 months. The effect of the surgery can be maintained for at least about 15 years.
