In a single one-hour procedure under local anaesthesia with sedation, I performed a bilateral upper blepharoplasty and corrected the ptosis of the right eyelid so that both eyes sit at the same height. One week of recovery. The after photos were taken at 30 days: the lids are still slightly pink and the scar, visible with the eyes closed, sits hidden in the eyelid crease.
