Risks & Considerations: Both eyelid lift and lip lift procedures are typically performed under local anesthesia and take about 1-2 hours to complete. The recovery time for these procedures varies, but most people are able to return to work and other normal activities within a week.
Manage Swelling and Discomfort:
Use cold compresses as directed to minimize swelling and bruising around the eyes. Your surgeon may recommend over-the-counter pain relievers or prescribe medications to manage any post-operative discomfort.Protect Your Eyes from Irritants:
Avoid exposing your eyes to irritants, such as smoke and strong winds, during the initial stages of recovery. Wearing sunglasses can protect from bright sunlight and reduce strain on the eyes.Be Mindful of Sleeping Positions:
Sleep with your head elevated during the initial days of recovery to help minimize swelling. Your surgeon may recommend using an extra pillow or sleeping in a semi-upright position.Avoid Rubbing Your Eyes:
Refrain from rubbing or touching your eyes, as this can increase the risk of infection and interfere with the healing process.Keep the Incision Site Clean:
Follow proper wound care to keep the incision site clean and minimize the risk of infection. Your surgeon may recommend specific instructions for cleaning and changing dressings.The initial recovery period varies, but most patients can expect several weeks of limited physical activity and special precautions to protect the newly augmented area. Full recovery, including the resolution of swelling and the final settling may take several months. Your surgeon will provide personalized guidance based on your progress.
The incision for a lift is performed by a skilled surgeon, is well concealed. While some scarring may occur, it is usually minimal and becomes less noticeable over time. Your surgeon will discuss incision placement and potential scarring during the pre-operative consultation.
Your surgeon will provide guidance on when it’s safe to resume wearing makeup, particularly around the eyes. It’s essential to be gentle and avoid any pressure or pulling on the eyelids during the initial stages of recovery.
Initially, there may be some restriction in mouth movements to protect the incision site. However, as the healing progresses, normal smiling and talking are usually restored. Your surgeon will provide guidance on any temporary adjustments to facial expressions.
Many patients can return to work and resume normal activities within a week or two, depending on the extent of the surgery and individual healing. Strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for a more extended period. Your surgeon will provide specific recommendations based on your procedure and progress.
UAE also embodies the essence of self compassion and self care that is part of Bellaroma message to the world.
