Recovery After Eyelid Lift in Chicago

An eyelid lift is medically known as blepharoplasty. It is a surgical procedure performed on a person in order to remove fat from or add fat into the eyelid to open up the eyes to make him or her look younger, remove puffiness and prevent blockage of vision.

If you are interested in getting an eyelid lift surgery but you’re concerned about the recovery period, it is actually easier and less complicated than you expect it to be. The surgery is not painful in itself and patients generally feel better after the procedure. Bruising is to be expected but it is not so severe so you could easily cover them with makeup. Swelling may take up to a week before it subsides.

The length of your recovery period will vary depending on certain factors. Example would be the technique used during the surgery. The amount of bruising and your body’s capability to repair itself could also determine your rate of healing. Qualified doctors like Dr. Steven Bloch can help you with your recovery period.
