5 Things to Know Before Eyelid Surgery
If you’re considering any sort of cosmetic procedure, especially one that’s surgical, it’s important to know ahead of time what to expect.
Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is no exception.
One method of figuring out what the “experience” of a treatment is like is to go on RealSelf and read reviews from real people who experienced the procedure. Here are 5 things you might expect from a blepharoplasty.
1. EYELID SURGERY WON’T COMPLETELY TRANSFORM YOU
Some surgeries have very dramatic results, and others, like eyelid surgery, are just a bit more subtle. It’s important to keep this in mind and manage expectations.
Of course if you’re looking for more dramatic results, you might be interested in a different procedure. But if you want to remove the tired, baggy look out of your eyes, then eyelid surgery is definitely a strong option.
2. NOT USING MAKEUP OR CONTACTS REDUCES SWELLING
All surgeries have a recovery period, and it’s important to know what you can do to facilitate the recovery process. For eyelid surgery, that means staying away from the makeup, at the very least, and perhaps investing in a pair of glasses.
3. WAIT A YEAR BEFORE YOU JUDGE THE RESULTS
Sometimes patients panic because post-op swelling obscures the actual effects of the surgery. It’s natural to worry, but it’s important to keep the swelling in mind and not to panic.
4. IT’S IMPORTANT TO RECOVER PROPERLY
Surgery, even a minor one, takes a lot out of you. Take your time to recover both physically and emotionally, and you’ll take care of yourself better in the long run.
5. POST-OP SYMPTOMS CAN INCLUDE SWELLING, REDNESS, AND DRY EYES
During your recovery period, you might experience any of the above symptoms. That’s perfectly normal, and of course you can do a number of things to mitigate the effects, such as applying cold compresses or using eye drops.
