HEALING & SCAR PROGRESSION

Scars are a natural part of the healing process. The goal is to make your scar as small and discreet as possible. It is important to remember that cosmetic surgery scars and healing progression can vary depending on the type of procedure and the individual's healing process.

Eyelid Surgery Patient Journeys

What You’ll See in Our Upper Eyelid Surgery Gallery

1 Day Post-Surgery
This is where healing begins. You’ll notice some swelling, bruising, and the early shape starting to take form. It’s a vulnerable stage, but one that gives you a clear, honest picture of what to expect right after surgery.

1–2 Weeks Post-Surgery
The swelling begins to settle. Stitches are typically removed by this time, and you can see the eyelid contour taking form. Bruising fades, and most patients feel comfortable going out with light makeup.

1 Month Post-Surgery
You’ll notice your eyes feel lighter and more open. Scars are still pink but healing well. Most people feel confident in public, often without others even realising they’ve had surgery — just that they “look more awake.”

3–6 Months Post-Surgery
This is where the transformation becomes truly noticeable. Scars begin to fade significantly, swelling is completely gone, and the results look and feel natural. Most patients describe this stage as the point where they forget they’ve even had surgery, except for the compliments.

1 Year Post-Surgery
Your results are now fully matured. Any minor scar lines have softened, your eyelids feel completely natural, and the improvement in your appearance and eye comfort is long-lasting. The change is subtle, elegant, and often described as "refreshed without looking done."
