“I’m 57 years young and about 10 weeks out from upper blepharoplasty, mid face, neck lift and fat transfer with laser treatment after. Cannot be more pleased with my results or the care Dr Chopra and his staff have provided to date. While I’m still healing, my results are amazing and will still continue to get better for months to come! I did a lot or research and found Dr. Chopra to be the best plastic surgeon in the area. You cannot go wrong choosing him to do your procedure.”

Eyelid Surgery How it Works & Recovery

What to Expect During Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on your plan. Dr. Chopra places incisions within the eyelid’s natural creases, then removes or repositions fat, skin, and tissue to achieve a smoother contour. Surgery typically takes one to two hours, and patients return home the same day under the care of a loved one.

Healing and Results After Eyelid Surgery

Recovery is generally straightforward. Some swelling and bruising are expected during the first week, and most patients resume normal routines within 10 to 14 days. Dr. Chopra provides detailed aftercare guidance, including instructions for eye protection, activity restrictions, and follow-up visits. As healing progresses, results become more defined, revealing smoother lids, a brighter gaze, and a refreshed overall appearance that can last for many years.
