Eyelid Surgery Your Path to Youthful Eyes
At Lukus Clinic, we understand that the aging process can take a toll on the appearance of your eyelids, resulting in changes that may affect your self-confidence. Our blepharoplasty procedure is designed to rejuvenate your gaze, restoring a more youthful and vibrant look.
- Procedure Duration
Blepharoplasty usually takes around 1 to 1.5 hours. For those having all four eyelids treated, the procedure is typically done in two stages: first the upper eyelids, followed by the lower eyelids.
- Anesthesia and Comfort
Eyelid surgery is typically performed under sedation with local anesthesia. This numbs the area around your eyes, ensuring that you’re awake during the procedure but comfortable and pain-free.
- Hospital Stay
Patients undergoing blepharoplasty are usually discharged from the hospital on the same day, making it a convenient outpatient procedure.
- Getting Back to Normal Life
After the surgery, you can expect to read, watch TV, and engage in light activities within 2 or 3 days. However, it’s advisable to wait approximately two weeks before wearing contact lenses, and some discomfort may persist during this period.
In the initial days, it’s important to limit strenuous activities for at least three to five days, including bending, lifting, and intense sports, as these can elevate blood pressure. You may also be advised to avoid alcohol to prevent fluid retention.
At Lukus Clinic, we’re here to guide you through your blepharoplasty journey. Rejuvenate your gaze and regain your youthful vibrancy with us.
