If you are only having eyelid surgery, you can go home on the same day as your surgery. If you have other procedures in addition to this, like a facelift, you may be required to stay in the hospital overnight or have a nurse go to your home with you for the first night. We will discuss your options with you. If you are coming in from out of town and would like to stay in the Chicago area, please ask our office for hotel options. You will need to stay near Chicago for 7-10 days for post-operative care.
