Your results will depend on the type of eyelid procedure that you have. The results of a lower blepharoplasty, an eyelid surgery performed on the lower lids, can last 5 to 10 years, or sometimes even longer. An upper eyelid correction can last roughly five to seven years. While cosmetic procedures can turn back the clock to create a rejuvenated and youthful appearance, it is important to remember the natural aging process does not stop. Aging, gravity and some environmental factors will eventually cause the results of your eyelid surgery to fade over time.
