Introduction
Under normal circumstances, double eyelid surgery refers to blepharoplasty. The general reference price for blepharoplasty ranges from 5,000 to 30,000 yuan per session. Improvement is usually visible 1 to 3 months after the surgery. Possible postoperative symptoms include redness, swelling, and pain, which vary depending on individual constitution and recovery status. The duration required for the blepharoplasty procedure needs to be determined based on specific circumstances.
Generally, double eyelid surgery refers to blepharoplasty. The general reference price for blepharoplasty ranges from 5,000 to 30,000 yuan per session. Improvement is usually noticeable 1-3 months after the surgery. Possible postoperative symptoms include redness, swelling, and pain. The duration of the blepharoplasty procedure depends on individual circumstances. If the eye condition is relatively simple, the surgery typically takes 1-1.5 hours. However, if the eye condition is complex and requires more complicated procedures, the surgery may take more than 2 hours. Detailed explanations are as follows:
If the eye condition is relatively simple, traditional incision methods are used. This involves making an incision on the upper eyelid, removing some skin and part of the orbital fat, then suturing the upper eyelid to the tarsal plate. This procedure generally takes approximately 1-1.5 hours.
If the eye condition is complex, the surgery may involve adjustment of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle or secondary revision surgery, which prolongs the surgical time. Revision surgeries generally take about twice as long as the primary procedures. For example, revision of buried suture or puncture techniques may take more than 2 hours.
If undergoing blepharoplasty, it is recommended to visit a reputable hospital for consultation and surgery to ensure surgical effectiveness and safety.
