Disease description:

My younger brother developed fairly severe under-eye bags at a very young age. Last week, I just took him for transconjunctival blepharoplasty. How long does it take for swelling to subside after this procedure?

In general, swelling after internal incision眼袋 surgery subsides within about 1 to 2 weeks, but some patients may require approximately one month for the swelling to resolve completely. Since individuals differ in physical condition and postoperative care methods, recovery times vary accordingly. It is recommended that patients avoid getting the surgical site wet during the first week after surgery. Proper local anti-inflammatory care and infection prevention can help reduce eye swelling and promote wound healing.
