Blepharoplasty Recovery and Results: What To Expect
Eyelid Lift in Beverly Hills is an outpatient procedure, which means you will be able to return home or to your hotel the same day as your surgery. You will not be able to drive, so you must arrange to have someone take you home and assist you for the first 24 hours.
I take an advanced approach to blepharoplasty that results in minimal pain. Patients report very little discomfort after their eyelid lift. Any discomfort you may experience can be managed with Tylenol.
The healing process for an eyelid lift is relatively easy and straightforward. I take great pride in creating natural-looking results with nearly invisible incisions where patients can truly enjoy their results looking in the mirror every single day. Most importantly, you will still look like yourself, just refreshed and more youthful.
How Long Does Eyelid Lift Recovery Last?
After your eyelid lift in Beverly Hills, there will be minor swelling and bruising that should subside in the first week. I will remove your sutures five to six days post-procedure. It will take about three to four months to see the final result.
Most patients can return to work and resume regular activity within the first week after surgery. After two weeks post-operation, you can resume moderate exercise, such as walking or using a stationary bike. Vigorous exercise, such as running or aerobics, can be resumed after four weeks.
Does an Eyelid Lift Leave Scars?
I have developed an innovative technique for blepharoplasty that results in undetectable scarring once fully healed. After your eyelid lift in Beverly Hills, you will have minimal scarring that will fade entirely about a year after surgery.
You will begin scar treatments with me just two weeks after your procedure to promote optimal healing. We will discuss your scar treatment in detail during your consultation, and after treatment, my team and I will provide you with scar medications. I recommend avoiding sun exposure in the first few months following your surgery, as a sunburn might irritate the surgical site.
