Days 1–7
Swelling and bruising are most prominent during the first few days. If external sutures were used, they are typically removed around day five to seven.
Weeks 2–4
The majority of visible swelling and bruising resolves. You can comfortably return to work and social activities, using makeup to conceal any minor residual discoloration.
Months 2–3
The under-eye area continues to settle and smooth out. Any external incision lines fade significantly, blending into the natural contours of the lash line.
Months 3–6
Final results are fully established. The transition from the lower eyelid to the cheek is smooth, and the eyes appear permanently refreshed and youthful.

Frequent Asked Questions
It depends on the cause. If your dark circles are shadows created by bulging fat or deep tear troughs, surgery will significantly improve them. It will not change the actual pigmentation of the skin.
If the transconjunctival method is used, the incision is inside the eyelid, leaving no external scar. If skin removal is needed, the incision is hidden just below the lash line and heals to be virtually invisible.
Yes. Many patients choose to combine upper and lower blepharoplasty for comprehensive eye rejuvenation in a single procedure and recovery period.
No. Advanced techniques, such as supporting the outer corner of the eye (canthopexy), are used to ensure the lower eyelid maintains its natural position and shape without pulling downward.
The results of lower eyelid surgery are exceptionally long-lasting. The removed fat does not return, meaning the improvement in under-eye bags is often permanent.
You should avoid wearing contact lenses for at least two weeks following surgery, or until your surgeon confirms it is safe, to prevent pulling on the healing eyelid tissue.
