After anesthesia has been administered, your surgeon will make small incisions in the crease of the eyelids and remove the excess skin and fat. The goal is to create natural-looking eyelids again and restore your full range of vision. The incisions are small enough that after healing is complete no one will notice the incision location. After the procedure, you’ll be drowsy from the anesthesia and will need someone to drive you home and stay with you the first night. Recovery is a gradual process but most people feel good enough to resume normal activities after seven to 10 days.
