How Long Do The Results Of Eyelid Surgery Last?

The results of eyelid surgery are long-lasting, often for 10 years or more. While no procedure can stop the natural aging process, the improvements achieved through blepharoplasty tend to age gracefully over time. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and proper skin care can help extend your results.

Is Eyelid Surgery Painful?

Local anesthesia is used during eyelid surgery to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free during the procedure. Mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising in the treated area following surgery are common but can be easily managed with pain medication, cold compresses, and rest.

Will I Have Visible Scars After Eyelid Surgery?

Incisions are placed within the eyelids’ natural creases or inside the lower lid, making them virtually undetectable once healed. Dr. Zamani uses meticulous techniques to ensure incisions are as discreet as possible, leaving minimal—if any—visible scarring.

Can Eyelid Surgery Improve My Vision?

Yes. In cases where the upper eyelid skin droops significantly and obstructs your visual field (a condition called ptosis), blepharoplasty can restore a clearer line of sight. Patients often report improved vision along with the cosmetic enhancement.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Dr. Zamani will ask you to return to the practice after a week to monitor your recovery and remove any sutures. To support your recovery, further appointments will be scheduled according to your needs.

When Can I Exercise Again After My Eyelid Surgery?

Strenuous activity should be avoided for three to four weeks. Gentle walking is encouraged during early recovery to promote circulation.

Can I Combine Eyelid Surgery With Other Procedures?

Absolutely. Many patients choose to combine eyelid surgery with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as a brow lift or facelift for more comprehensive, balanced results. During your consultation, Dr. Zamani will discuss your aesthetic goals and help design a customized treatment plan that may include multiple procedures performed safely and harmoniously.

What Are the Risks Associated With Eyelid Surgery?

As with any surgery, eyelid procedures carry some risk. These may include bleeding, infection, dry eyes, asymmetry, temporary numbness, vision changes, or eyelid malposition. While complications are rare, Dr. Zamani will thoroughly review potential risks with you and provide guidance throughout your recovery.

on the Day of Eyelid Surgery

On the day of your eyelid surgery in Beverly Hills at Dr. Zamani’s practice, you will be welcomed to the facility and settled in the surgical room. Dr. Zamani will review the surgical plan with you before anesthesia is administered, ensuring that you feel fully prepared.

Depending on your needs, eyelid surgery may be performed under local or general anesthesia. Once you are comfortably anesthetized, Dr. Zamani will make discreet incisions along the natural creases of the upper eyelids or inside the lower eyelids to minimize visible scarring. She will reshape and refine the eyelid contours to achieve a refreshed yet natural look. The incisions are then meticulously closed with fine sutures. The procedure typically takes between one and three hours, depending on the complexity of the case.

Eyelid Surgery
recovery

Blepharoplasty recovery for most people is not a painful experience, and most patients use over-the-counter pain medication to overcome any pain or swelling after surgery.

Most symptoms resolve within a week. However, patients are encouraged to avoid strenuous exercise, such as heavy lifting, for up to a month after the procedure.
