Eyelid surgery is done through tiny incisions on the inside of the eyelid as well as on the eyelash line and in the upper crease.On average, 90% of patients are back to normal within 2 weeks. Typically, there is some redness in the eyelid area especially where the incisions are made, which improve over the first 3-5 days. There are no sutures that Dr. Nguyen removes after the surgery, since they are all dissolvable sutures. There is very mild discomfort after this type of surgery and some patients may not require pain medication after. There can be some minimal swelling and bruising the first week, however within our practice, our patients heal pretty quickly due to the surgical vitamins they take before and after the surgery to help expedite the swelling & bruising.
