| How does it work? |
Your surgeon will make an incision along the natural lines and folds of the skin around your eyes while under local or general anaesthetic.
The incision is done with precision to ensure minimal scarring. Excess fat, skin and muscle are removed before the wound is carefully sutured to ensure a natural aesthetic outcome.
|
| How long does the surgery take? |
Blepharoplasty surgery typically takes between 1-2 hours to complete. If the operation is performed on just the upper or lower lids, less time is needed. An overnight stay is often required to minimise post-operative swelling and bruising.

What is the
recovery time? |
Typically, it takes approximately 7-10 days to fully recover from Blepharoplasty recovery time? surgery, however many patients have had the surgery and return to work within 4-5 days.

| How long will it last? |
