Incisions are usually placed discreetly in the natural creases of the upper eyelids and just below the lower lash line. Patients often experience mild soreness and tightness for one week. Swelling and bruising are most prominent in the first week and improve over two to four weeks. Results become noticeable as swelling subsides, with the final outcome developing over three to six months.Most blepharoplasty procedures in Los Angeles are outpatient, allowing patients to return home the same day. Surgeons may recommend cold compresses and specialized eye care during the first week to aid healing.
