What to expect over time
A photo is a single moment. These are typical recovery milestones from our Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) guide, which also lists 14 peer-reviewed studies on the procedure. Your surgeon’s plan may differ.
- Day 0Day-case surgery; cold compresses; head elevated; oral analgesia.
- Day 1-3Bruising and swelling peak; tear-film irritation common.
- Day 5-7Sutures removed (incisional); many international patients fly home.
- Week 2Most bruising resolved; return to office work typically possible.

Are these photos real patients?
Yes. They are the surgeons' own patient results, published with each surgeon's permission and labeled with the operating surgeon. Photos with nudity are blurred until you confirm you are 18 or older.
How should I judge before and after photos?
Compare photos taken from the same angle, in the same lighting and with the same expression, and look for results at least several months after surgery, when swelling has settled. Ask the surgeon for more photos of patients with a similar starting point to yours.
Will my results look the same?
Not necessarily. Results depend on your anatomy, skin, healing and the technique used. Before and after photos show what a surgeon can achieve, not a guarantee; a consultation is the place to discuss realistic expectations.
What the evidence shows: eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)
12 peer-reviewed sourcesBlepharoplasty removes or repositions excess skin, muscle, and fat around the upper or lower eyelids, and the before/after photos in this gallery capture how that translates into a more open, rested-looking eye area. Published outcome studies consistently report high patient satisfaction and measurable gains in eye-related quality of life, particularly when sagging upper-lid skin had been crowding the field of vision beforehand. Aesthetic results tend to be stable over the medium to long term, though the eyelids continue to age naturally after surgery and a minority of patients pursue touch-ups. Reported complications are usually minor and self-limiting (bruising, swelling, temporary dry eye, asymmetry), while serious problems are uncommon in the reviewed series. Lower-lid surgery carries its own specific risk profile, which is why technique selection and surgeon experience matter. The studies below span systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and prospective outcome and quality-of-life research from the last several years.
Results vary from person to person; these photos show individual outcomes and are not a promise of the result any single patient will achieve.
