How long do I need to wait before Revision Blepharoplasty?

  If you underwent either Upper or Lower Blepharoplasty but were not satisfied with the results, you might have considered getting a Revision surgery. However, you may not be sure about the period of time you have to wait before undergoing the secondary surgery. Generally, you need to wait at least 6 months before getting the Revision Blepharoplasty. The reason you have to wait for 6 months is due to the skin healing process. During the healing process, the swelling and bruising should go away. The treatment area should be healed correctly before the procedure so that the doctor can assess whether a patient must get the Revision surgery. The recovery process from Revision blepharoplasty is similar to the initial Blepharoplasty. However, you have more swelling after the revision. With the help of medication and ice packs, you can improve the healing process and speed up your recovery. More about Revision Blepharoplasty

  If you underwent an Upper blepharoplasty procedure, but you are unhappy with the results, you make get a revision surgery. Revision Blepharoplasty is a secondary surgery that is performed to correct the defects and complications from the previous surgery. It is important to note that Revision Upper Blepharoplasty is a more complex operation. The most common reasons for getting the Revision blepharoplasty may be the under-correction, scarring, and the asymmetry of upper eyelids. During the procedure, the excess skin can be removed and the double eyelid crease may be corrected to achieve symmetry. The way the operation is performed depends on the patient’s concerns and the results of the initial surgery. The surgery may vary from a slight touch-up to the entire redo of the Blepharoplasty. Typically, you will need 5 days off to recover from the procedure. However, you may have some bruising and swelling for 2-3 weeks after the surgery. More about Revision Upper Blepharoplasty
