Eyelid rejuvenation (Blepharoplasty) is one of the more common procedures performed by our doctors at CarlinVision in our own Ambulatory Surgery Center at 2347 Lenora Church Road. The eyelids are painlessly anesthetized so there is absolutely no feeling at all during the procedure. Sensation returns generally 1-2 hours afterwards and the eyelids are only mildly uncomfortable for around 3-4 hours. The soreness is almost always easily controlled with Tylenol or Advil though you may receive a prescription for something stronger, if desired.
