FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is the surgical term for eyelid surgery — a procedure that can address excess skin, selected fat deposits, or contour concerns around the upper and/or lower eyelids, depending on your anatomy.
Will eyelid surgery change my facial expression?
The goal is a more open-looking, rested eye area while preserving your natural expression, not an artificial or overly altered look. This is planned individually during consultation.
How long does recovery take?
Initial swelling and bruising are most noticeable in the first days and typically ease over the following weeks, with final results emerging gradually. Individual healing times vary.
Will there be visible scarring?
Incisions are planned carefully to minimize visible scarring where relevant. Scar-related outcomes vary between individuals and are discussed during consultation.
Can both upper and lower eyelids be treated at once?
Depending on your anatomy and concerns, the upper eyelid, lower eyelid, or both may be addressed. This is determined during your individual assessment.
How do I know if I'm a good candidate?
Candidacy depends on your eyelid anatomy, skin quality, eye-related medical history, and goals, all reviewed during an individual consultation with Dr. Hedayat.
