asian blepharoplasty recovery

Postby coco » Fri Mar 14, 2008 3:09 am

Dear Dr Lam,

How does a person's eyes usually look 2 weeks after a partical incision blepharoplasty? Im considering getting some fat removed from eyelids, and epicanthoplasty to open them up alittle bit. I'm not looking for a drastic change. Will i look ok after 2 weeks? And how long will it normally take for the crease go down to it permanent height? Thanks in advance!

I have now moved entirely to the full incision method. Listen to my video lectures on Asian blepharoplasty to understand why I have abandoned the partial incision method. If you proceed with the partial incision method elsewhere, typically the recovery is relatively short. At two weeks it does not look terrible in most cases. However, also you must consider two other factors:
1. Which surgeon is doing it and every surgeon can create different degrees of swelling.
2. There are a million variations of the partial incision so my partial incision would be totally different from someone else's, making any reasonable comparison of technique and results pretty much useless.
hope that helps,
