How long does the surgery take, and what is the recuperation time?
In eyelids, the surgery usually takes between 1-1.5 hours for both upper and lower lids. The recuperation, particularly with use of PRP, is now reduced to less than one week in most cases. Important instructions on care after surgery are provided prior to any surgery. In face and neck lifting, the surgery usually takes between 2-3 hours including the time needed for performing liposuction. There is typically a wrap dressing which is usually removed the next day, and replaced by a less compressive elastic garment. Recuperation with use of PRP is now reduced to one week or less in most cases, based on less swelling, bruising and complications associated with its use. You typically can wear makeup the day of your stitch removal (usually 3-6 days). Important and detailed instructions will be provided prior to your procedures.
