Cosmetic surgery can be repeated after one year. A touch-up or correction of an assymetry can be performed as early as one day after surgery, but usually within the first month or two after surgery. Surgery usually does not need to be repeated for at least five to ten years, unless a patient tends to age more quickly. Surgery will usually take five to ten years off your eyelids. If the eyelids and face now age gracefully with the rest of the body, most patients stay satisfied and do not have surgery repeated.
Some patients desire more of a result and repeat surgery, it is an individual thing.
You should begin by ensuring that your surgeon is board-certified. Ask your regular physician or friends who have undergone the surgery. Local hospital referrals networks are an excellent source of information. Some patients are even finding out names of surgeons on the internet. Patients usually feel little discomfort after eyelid surgery.
