Many of my Houston eyelid surgery patients inquire about the recovery time after eyelid surgery.  Upper eyelid surgery for hooding or excess skin is a relatively straightforward operation with recovery times around 5-7 days.  Upper blepharoplasty can be performed under local anesthesia or light sedation.

Lower eyelid surgery for lower eyelid bags and dark circles requires light sedation or general anesthesia for comfort.  Recovery time after lower bleapharoplasty is usually around 7-10 days.
