The Procedure

Dr. Schwartz performs blepharoplasty in his office or an outpatient surgical center. Local anesthesia or IV sedation is used and the procedure take about one and a half hours to complete.

The Blepharoplasty recovery

The recovery after this procedure takes about five to seven days. The eyelids may feel tight or sore, though medication can help to control discomfort. Bruising and swelling can occur, with the bruising fading within two to four weeks. Patients may also experience some temporary itching, dryness, burning, tearing, blurred or double vision, or sensitivity to light. The stitches are removed within five to seven days. Patients can usually return to work within three to five days, though more strenuous activities should be postponed for about two weeks.

Dr. Michael Schwartz, you work is spectacular and although you are well known as ” The Nose Doctor” you are also the ” Michael-Angelo of All Facial Plastic Surgery”, My eyes are perfectly symmetric and very natural looking and I now look 30 years younger! that was a painless, fast and easy procedure.
