Swelling and bruising typically subside within the first week, with the incision line looking progressively more natural over the following weeks. Recovery time varies by technique and individual eyelid condition, so a consultation is needed to assess your specific case.

Yes. Revision blepharoplasty requires a thorough evaluation of the existing eyelid structure before planning surgery, since scar tissue from the previous procedure affects the surgical approach.
