Given that the skin around your eyelids tends to be thinner and more delicate than the rest of the face, it’s quite common for the eyelids to begin drooping and sagging, often being one of the earliest signs of aging to present themselves. Sagging around the eyelids can be caused by anything from sun damage, smoking, obesity, or genetics, but the end result is often the same – drooping, bulging eyelids that cause an aged, fatigued appearance.

What’s the Recovery Process Like?
After your blepharoplasty procedure, you’ll rest in our recovery area for a short while, but you’ll be able to return home the same day. Anthony A. Admire might recommend applying lubricating ointment and using cold compresses to help the healing process and minimize uncomfortable side effects like swelling, bruising, irritation, or dry eyes. (We may wrap your eyes in gauze after the procedure, as well.)
You’ll likely be able to return to work within two or three days, but it’ll be important to avoid exercise and strenuous activities for at least two weeks while you continue to heal.
Swelling and other side effects tend to subside within a couple weeks of your surgery, and we’ll be sure to provide you with specific aftercare instructions as you heal and recover.
