Double eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a relatively simple procedure, and the post-operative recovery time cannot be generalized. Its recovery time is influenced by many factors, including the surgical procedure, local tissue and systemic conditions, the age of the patient, and the manner of post-surgical care. With buried blepharoplasty, the surgery is relatively less invasive, recovery is quick, and it is basically natural in about 1-2 weeks. The incision blepharoplasty requires removal of excess loose skin and treatment of orbital fat depending on the situation, which is relatively more invasive. The stitches are usually removed about 7 days after surgery, at which point the more obvious swelling and bruising will have subsided, and it will take 3-6 months to reach a more natural state, depending on the individual. In addition, after blepharoplasty, there will be scarring at the location where the eyelid line was cut, which is normally hidden within the fold and not easily detected. You can use some anti-scar medication as appropriate to promote scar softening. Generally, listening to your doctor, taking rest and using your eyes properly will ensure a smooth recovery after surgery.
