EYELIDS · ILLUSTRATED 3D RECOVERY
Double Eyelid Surgery: before & after and recovery stages
Follow a defined upper-lid fold as early puffiness settles.
Also called Asian blepharoplasty
SUMMARY
What this example shows
A curved fold is defined above the upper eyelid. Early lid fullness partly obscures it before the fold becomes clearer. The eye opening is not lifted as in ptosis repair. This illustrates an incisional crease example; fold height and technique are not a surgical plan.
STAGE BY STAGE
Double Eyelid Surgery recovery stages
Before treatment
The unchanged display face provides a reference for this example.
First few days: Stitches and puffiness
Fine stitch marks cross the closed incision above each eye.
The closure display can be turned off. This is an incisional example, not a non-incisional suture technique.
Around 1 week: After example stitch removal
The stitch marks disappear; the incision line remains.
Day 7 is an illustration. The actual removal plan and suture type vary.
Around 1 month: Fold and fading line
The fold remains with a lighter incision line after early puffiness.
Scar redness and tissue settling can continue over months.
Around 3 months: Later crease example
The example incision is fainter, while the fold remains.
A faint line is not a promise of an invisible scar or the final result.
TIMELINE
Day-by-day checkpoints in the 3D model
The simulator interpolates between these authored checkpoints. They describe the illustration, not measured clinical averages.
The unchanged display face provides a reference for this example.
Temporary fullness surrounds the defined fold.
The upper lid looks fuller than its later contour.
The example crease is easier to distinguish as fullness decreases.
The upper-lid color is quieter while some fullness remains.
The fold is more apparent without the early puffiness.
Fold and scar maturation can continue over months.
INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES
How recovery can vary
Timing and response
This is an incisional fold example. Existing folds remain part of the selected face; no single crease suits every anatomy. Buried-suture crease surgery has a separate entry in the procedure menu.
Longer term
Fold shape and scar appearance can keep changing beyond this timeline. Incision placement and fading are fictional examples, not a measured crease height or personal scar forecast.
