There is no ideal age, but rather the ideal opportunity. This opportunity is determined by the presence of excess skin and/or fat in the area and usually occurs after the fourth decade of life.

Since eyelid skin is very thin, the scars tend to be concealed in the skin folds and, in some cases, are imperceptible. For this, it is necessary to wait for the scar to mature (six months). Due to their location, they can be disguised with light makeup from the very first days.

Some patients may have a tendency to unaesthetic scarring (hypertrophic or keloid scars). This tendency should be discussed during the initial consultation, as well as any family characteristics. People with fair skin tend to develop less of this type of scarring.
Various clinical and surgical resources allow us to improve such unaesthetic scars at the appropriate time. However, hypertrophic or keloid scars should not be confused with the natural evolution of the intermediate healing period. Any doubts regarding your scar evolution should be clarified during your post-operative follow-ups, when it is possible to evaluate the healing phase.

Various clinical and surgical resources allow us to improve such unaesthetic scars at the appropriate time. However, one should not confuse the “intermediate period” of normal healing (from day 30 to month 12) with a scarring complication.
Any doubts regarding your healing progress should be clarified with your doctor.

Due to the extent of the surgery and the good quality of anesthetics, most cases are performed under local anesthesia (with or without sedation). In special cases, general anesthesia may be used.

Generally, no. However, if it occurs, it can be managed with common painkillers.

Every medical procedure carries a variable degree of risk, and surgery, as part of Medicine, is no exception. Risk can be minimized by properly preparing each patient, but not eliminated entirely.

Yes, usually during the first three days, when the swelling begins to subside. Eye swelling (edema) varies from patient to patient. Some may appear quite natural by the 4th or 5th day, while others may achieve this result only after the 8th day or even after two weeks. Even so, the first three days after surgery are when eyelid swelling is at its peak. Wearing sunglasses may be useful during this phase, and using cold compresses helps reduce the intensity of the swelling.

Local anesthesia: 6 to 12 hours.

Around two to three hours. Depending on the case, there are details that can extend this time. However, the surgical time should not be confused with the total time the patient stays in the surgical center, as this also includes anesthetic preparation and post-operative recovery.

These are simply blood that has infiltrated the underlying skin (bruises), or even the ocular conjunctiva; they are caused by the surgical trauma itself. These should not be considered complications, but rather a temporary and reversible occurrence.

After the 3rd month. However, within three weeks we will already see much of the desired result, and in the following weeks the improvement trend becomes more pronounced.

Not necessarily. Applying cold saline solution compresses for a few minutes, several times a day, may be recommended.
