Answers to common questions about blepharoplasty planning, risks, costs and recovery in Sydney.
Upper eyelid surgery addresses hooding/heaviness; lower eyelid surgery targets bags and laxity. Some patients benefit from both. Your consultation should confirm the cause and outline options and trade‑offs.
Most people allow 1–2 weeks for social downtime. Light activities resume early; strenuous exercise is delayed until cleared. Bruising and swelling gradually settle over several weeks, with refinement continuing after that.
General surgical risks plus dryness/irritation, asymmetry, contour changes, scar concerns, over/under‑correction and need for revision. Ask how risks apply to your case and what the after‑hours plan is.
Purely cosmetic eyelid surgery generally isn’t rebated. If there is a functional problem (e.g., ptosis impairing vision), Medicare and private health rebates may apply. Confirm item numbers and eligibility with your practitioner and funder.
Typically in an accredited day surgery or hospital in Sydney under local anaesthetic with sedation or general anaesthesia. Confirm the facility, anaesthetist and what is included in aftercare.
Discuss non‑surgical options and their limits during your consultation. A structured plan helps you compare timing, expected benefit and when surgery may be more appropriate.
