of the upper eyelid.
- Patients with puffiness in the upper eyelid that creates
a tired look.
- Patients with excess skin and fine wrinkles of the
lower eyelids.
- Patients with puffy “bags” and in some cases
dark circles of the lower eyelid.

Timeframe: |
- A cool compress is suggested for the first 24 hours.
- Sutures will be removed 4 to 5 days after surgery.
- Patient will return to light activity in 7 days.
- You can begin to use makeup to conceal discoloration
after one week.
