Normally this surgery takes less than two hours, depending on the amount of tissue being removed. Your eyes will cover with bandages and may be lubricated and covered with bandages after surgery. Oral medications will help with pain and discomfort. Stitches are removed about a week after surgery.

Pain is usually minimal. You may be given mild pain reliever, such as acetaminophen. But remember don’t use aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), other NSAIDs and herbal supplements that may increase bleeding. Stitches will be removed in three or four days.

Blepharoplasty Procedure

In this the surgeon makes an incision along the natural fold of the upper eyelid first. When removing fatty tissue, the surgeon may carry out a transconjunctival blepharoplasty with an incision inside the lower rim of the eye's skin. Then the excess skin, some muscle and fat beneath the skin is removed. After the surgery the incision is closed with stitches (that can leave invisible marks) and surgical tapes.

The incision on the lower lid is performed below the eyelashes or inside the lower lid. In this also the surgeon removes the excess fat, muscle and flabby skin.
