Eyelid Surgery FAQS
We take the subject of pain very seriously and don’t stop at any solution for our patient’s comfort and well-being. During Eyelid Surgery, local anesthesia is typically administered to ensure your comfort—this helps to minimize any potential pain. After the surgery, it is common to experience some mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising in the treated area. However, any discomfort can be managed with prescribed pain medication and by following post-operative care instructions provided by Dr. Vickram Tandon.
The number of appointments required for your Eyelid Surgery can vary depending on individual circumstances and the specific treatment plan recommended by Dr. Vickram Tandon. The actual surgical procedure usually requires a single appointment. Afterward, a series of follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your healing progress and provide any necessary post-operative care. The exact number of appointments will be determined based on your unique needs and the complexity of your case.
The timeline for seeing results after Eyelid Surgery varies from person to person. Generally, you can expect to see some immediate improvement in the appearance of your eyelids after the surgery, although there may be some initial swelling and bruising. Typically, it may take several weeks to a few months for the final results to become noticeable.
