Hello Interloper!

Bruising and swelling settle between 1 to 2 weeks. Risks of complications are minimal. The usual risks of a formal blepharoplasty including obvious scarring, lid retraction and surgical stigmata are avoided.
I think patients who do not scar well or have a loose eyelid prone to problems with the traditional eyelid reduction surgery, will welcome the mini-blepharoplasty. It is especially suitable as a combined procedure with the one-stitch face lift.
