Before the Surgery
1. Consultation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Javaheri. During this session, you’ll discuss your medical history, current health, and specific concerns about your eyelids. Dr. Javaheri will evaluate your eyelid anatomy and create a customized treatment plan to achieve your desired results.
2. Preoperative Instructions
To ensure a safe procedure and optimal healing, you’ll receive detailed preoperative guidelines, which may include:
- Avoiding certain medications and supplements that increase bleeding risks.
- Arranging transportation to and from the surgical facility.
- Preparing your home for a smooth and restful recovery.
The Day of Surgery
On the day of your surgery, you’ll arrive at the surgical facility, where preparations will begin. Dr. Javaheri will meticulously mark the incision lines to ensure precision and optimal results. Most procedures are performed under local anesthesia with sedation, ensuring your comfort throughout the process.
After the Surgery
1. Early Postoperative Care
Immediately following surgery, you’ll be monitored in a recovery area until the effects of anesthesia wear off. Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are normal during this stage. Cold compresses can be applied to minimize swelling and ease discomfort.
2. Home Recovery
Once discharged, follow these essential recovery tips:
- Keep your head elevated to reduce swelling.
- Apply prescribed ointments to the incision sites as directed.
- Avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for several weeks.
- Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing.
3. Long-Term Care
As you recover, scars will gradually fade. Protect your eyes by wearing sunglasses and applying sunscreen to the incision sites. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can support your overall well-being and extend the longevity of your results.
