Considering Double Eyelid Surgery?

Double eyelid surgery, or Asian blepharoplasty, creates a natural-looking crease in the upper eyelids, enhancing eye shape and making the eyes appear larger. Here are five key aspects to understand before your procedure.

1. Will I Need Future Touch-Ups?

Double eyelid surgery offers long-lasting results, but aging can impact the appearance over time. While many patients have enjoyed their results for decades, you may require a touch-up procedure in the future to maintain the desired look.

2. What Will My Immediate Results Look Like?

Immediately following surgery, expect swelling and bruising around the eyes. This is normal and will gradually subside over several weeks. As the swelling decreases, your newly defined eyelid crease will become more apparent.

3. How Will Surgery Affect My Daily Routine?

Recovery from double eyelid surgery typically involves taking one week off work and avoiding strenuous activities. Light activities such as walking are recommended to promote healing. Adhering to your eyelid surgeon's post-operative care instructions is crucial for a smooth recovery.

4. Is Post-Surgery Pain Normal?

Mild discomfort and tightness around the eyes are common after double eyelid surgery. Your plastic surgeon will provide pain management options to ease any discomfort. Using cold compresses as instructed can also help reduce swelling and enhance comfort.

5. What Lifestyle Changes Should I Expect Post-Surgery?

Post-surgery, it's essential to protect your eyes from strain and sun exposure. Avoiding activities that require intense eye focus and wearing sunglasses outdoors will aid in recovery. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and proper hydration can also support the healing process.
