How long does it take to recover naturally after minimally invasive double eyelid surgery?

Generally, minimally invasive double eyelid surgery refers to blepharoplasty. It usually takes 1 to 3 months to recover naturally after blepharoplasty. This procedure involves designing incisions at suitable positions on the upper eyelids, removing part of the orbicularis oculi muscle and fat tissue, and attaching the eyelid skin to the tarsal plate at the desired height to create a double eyelid crease, thus forming a double eyelid shape. The general reference price for blepharoplasty is 1000–6000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement is usually observed 1–3 months after surgery, although symptoms such as swelling and pain may occur. Detailed analysis is as follows:

Swelling and bruising commonly occur after blepharoplasty. Swelling generally starts to subside about one week after surgery, and bruising will gradually be absorbed. In most cases, the shape of the double eyelids becomes relatively stable around one month post-surgery, although slight swelling or unnatural appearance might still exist and require further recovery. Around three months after surgery, the ocular tissues are nearly completely healed, making the double eyelid shape more natural and better integrated with surrounding tissues.

It is recommended to visit a regular hospital and undergo the procedure under the guidance of qualified physicians to ensure the safety and reliability of the surgery. Postoperatively, it is important to keep the eyes clean, avoid contact with water, and prevent infection. Additionally, adequate rest should be taken, prolonged eye strain avoided, screen time minimized, and sufficient sleep ensured, all of which facilitate tissue repair and recovery of the eyes.
