Frequently Asked Questions

How long does eyelid surgery take?

Duration varies depending on the type of surgery, but on average the procedure lasts between 1 to 2 hours.

Will there be visible scars?

Incisions are carefully placed in natural eyelid creases, such as the upper lid fold or just below the lash line. Scars fade significantly as your skin heals and become virtually unnoticeable.

Is eyelid surgery painful?

It’s not typically described as painful, but mild discomfort, swelling, and tightness during recovery are normal and manageable with prescribed medications and cold compresses.

Do men have this done?

Absolutely! Many male patients choose this treatment to address sagging upper eyelids, under-eye bags, or drooping skin. Results are subtle and natural, maintaining a masculine look while enhancing overall facial harmony.
