What is the Recovery Process Like After an Eyelid Lift?

An eyelid lift tightens the skin and removes some fat from the upper and lower eyelid

. Occasionally, the tarsus (the thick, white tissue, which is where the eyelashes originate) of the lower eyelid is tightened.

During the procedure, the skin of the upper and lower eyelid is surgically incised and some of the skin is removed. While the incision is open, a small amount of fat may be removed, which helps with treating the bags underneath your eyes. The excess skin is trimmed, and the incisions are closed.

Typically, an eyelid lift does not hurt very much. Since only skin and fat are surgically removed, there is not much pain associated with an eyelid lift. Even tightening the tarsus does not generate much pain after surgery. Most patients seem to need strong pain medicine for only 1-2 days. However other patients may need only over-the-counter pain medication, even right after surgery. This depends on the patient's pain threshold.

Metaphorically, the bark of an eyelid lift is worse than its bite. After the surgery, you may have bruising and swelling out of proportion to the amount of surgery you had. This occurs because the eyelid skin is very thin and sensitive to even small amounts of surgery. Swelling and bruising usually take several days to go away. However, this also depends on your overall health and other operations you may have at the same time. You will have more swelling with and upper and lower eyelid lift. Icing, head elevation, anti-inflammatory medicine, and rest all help to reduce pain and swelling after your procedure.
