Upper eyelid lift

The upper eyelid lift is generally a safe procedure. Swelling and bruising are the most common complications, and they can last several days up to two weeks. Minor bleeding immediately after the procedure, with some blood leaking from the scar, stops automatically when you rest, covering your eyes with gauze. Infections are rare. Scars are placed in the fold of the eyelid and are not very visible. Scars may remain thick and red longer if a client has sensitive skin. Some patients may experience temporary dry eyes or a burning sensation, in which case artificial tears can offer some relief. A slight asymmetry between the eyelids may occur, but in most cases, this is gradually restored after several months.
Some clients may think too much skin has been removed and the eyes will no longer close. This is mainly a sensation, and eye closure improves spontaneously.

Lower eyelid lift

Swelling and blue discolouration around the eyes are the most common complications, which resolve spontaneously within 1 to 2 weeks. Cooling and rest will help to reduce swelling. The eyes may feel drier after the procedure. You are prescribed artificial tears or eye drops to relieve the symptoms. Immediately after the procedure, your vision may be blurred due to the ointment used during the procedure. Your vision will recover within a few days. There will be a small scar just below the eyelashes, in the skin folds. After it heals, it will be hardly noticeable. Ectropion, a condition where the edge of the lower eyelid turns outward, is a complication that causes anxiety for many. However, in experienced hands and with the right technique, this risk is very small. And if it occurs, the effect is only temporary. Any asymmetry that may arise after the procedure is, in most cases, temporary.
