This version depends on the amount of skin removed and the technique used to tighten the skin. In most patients, after three weeks, they look reasonably well enough to get back to her normal activity. Some patients might require a little longer. If all goes well, between two and three weeks away from work is are you going to need. It might take 6 to 8 weeks for the surgery not to be a parent and some patients.
You have to define “normal,” because you won’t have your final result for about 3 months. However, you should be fairly presentable apart from some bruising and moderate swelling by 10 to 14 days on average. There are so many variables after surgery, and if your eyelids are done at the same time, you will look a lot more “scary” for a week or two.

If you take the proper care, have no complications, it should be about 10-14 days. Sutures will be removed, you are up and about, and activity is starting to be relatively normal. There
will be minor changes, but they are not so obvious.

Usually within a couple of weeks.
6-8 weeks
In my personal experience my patients are presentable with makeup at 8 days and great at one month.
