Initial swelling following Blepharoplasty is about 2 weeks with final 15% of the swelling lasting up to 3 months
Thank you for your question.
You can expect significant swelling in the first few days, but you may have swelling for weeks or even months especially in the morning. We just need to monitor the process and treat if there is a complication.

Generally, swelling after eyelid surgery less 4-5 days and is not a significant problem. Robert M Dryden, MD
There are many different techniques for eyelid surgery. The majority of the swelling and bruising resolve during the first week.
Eyelids often swell significantly after blepharoplasty surgery. At the same time, the swelling typically resolves quickly. Most swelling is gone in most patients by approximately one week after surgery. Elevation, cool compresses, and rest help reduce swelling on time.
