Blepharoplasty/Eyelid Surgery

In most cases, people go for eyelid surgery to fix tired-looking or droopy eyelids and reduce the appearance of undereye bags and fine wrinkles. Some may also opt for this surgery to restore peripheral vision that results from severely sagging eyelid skin.

Peripheral vision loss can be caused by several factors, such as a detached retina, occlusions, and glaucoma, to name a few. However, if your vision is blocked by droopy eyelids, seeking eyelid surgery can fix the problem.

Some of the common side effects experienced after surgery include bruising, redness, and swelling around the incision sites. You may also experience double vision, light sensitivity, and watery eyes. However, your doctor will prescribe creams or eye drops to ease the discomfort.

The recovery time tends to vary from one patient to another. If the stitches are not self-dissolving, you will have to visit the doctor after 10 days to have them removed. You can expect a full recovery in one month, but it can sometimes be longer.
