Operation Time (estimate) eyelid lift surgery  : It takes about 1 to 2 hours.

Anesthesia/Pain Control eyelid lift surgery  : This procedure exclusively uses local anesthesia. If a patient prefers, we can do general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.

Location eyelid lift surgery  : This is usually an outpatient procedure.

Side effects (Possible) eyelid lift surgery  : Some patients may experience temporary discomfort, tightness of lids, swelling, bruising, temporary dryness, burning, itching of eyes, excessive tearing, or sensitivity to light for the first few weeks.

Complications (Possible) eyelid lift surgery  : Some possible complications that may arise are temporary blurred or double vision, infection, bleeding, swelling at the corners of the eyelids, dry eyes, formation of whiteheads, slight asymmetry in healing or scarring. Patients may also experience difficulty in closing their eyes completely (rarely permanent), pulling down of the lower lids (may require further surgery) or blindness (extremely rare).

Downtime eyelid lift surgery  : This is a weekend procedure. Patients can have it done on a Friday and get back to work on a Monday. Patients may resume reading, watching TV, using computer within the first few hours. Patients can participate in exercise within 1 week. Bruising and swelling take 2 or 3 days but varies person to person. See eyelid lift surgery   before and after photo
