What To Expect?
Eye Lid Surgery
During a Blepharoplasty surgery for the upper eye lids, a thin incision is made within in the skin's natural fold to re-contour the natural eyelid crease to restore its youthful beauty. This is performed under anesthesia with little discomfort or pain. There is slight swelling for a week afterwards that will not interfere with everyday day activities.
Lower eye lid surgery is often done without sutures or visible scar being made with fat simply being removed from the inside surface of the lower eyelid so there is minimum recovery. Minimal swelling and occasional bruising may occur.

They also actually prevent dynamic lines in the face from becoming fixed and permanent. There is minimal discomfort from Botox or disport injections.

Melasma
Fraxel treatments are performed once a month for three to four months. A couple of days of gentle downtime is recommended after each treatment and patients are advised to stay out of excessive sun exposure and use a high SPF sunblock.
Chemical Peel
During the peel, it is ../common to feel a warming sensation on the skin for approximately 10 minutes followed by a slight stinging, for which cool compressive are applied. Following the procedure, the after affects are similar to that of sun burn with redness and scaling for up to a week afterwards. Mild peels can be performed weekly or monthly, more in-depth peels should be done less often.
