When it comes to plastic surgery, one of the most common questions is: “Is it painful?” If you’re considering blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), you’re probably wondering the same. At Dr. Dangs Maternity & Plastic Surgery Clinic in Dehradun, Dr. Shivam Dang ensures every patient feels safe, comfortable, and confident throughout the entire process. 💙
Let’s break down what you can expect in terms of pain, discomfort, and recovery.
🧊 Before the Procedure – Preparation & Numbing
The good news? Blepharoplasty is not a painful surgery. 🙌
It’s typically performed using:
- Local anesthesia with sedation (you’re relaxed but awake), or
- General anesthesia (completely asleep), depending on the case.
You won’t feel pain during the surgery — only slight pressure or movement, if under local anesthesia. Dr. Shivam Dang takes extra care to keep you comfortable at every stage. 👨⚕️
🔪 During the Surgery – Gentle & Precise
Blepharoplasty is a delicate procedure, usually completed in 1 to 2 hours. It involves removing excess skin, fat, or muscle from the eyelids. Thanks to advanced surgical techniques used by Dr. Shivam Dang, trauma to surrounding tissue is minimized — reducing the chance of severe pain later. 🛡️
😴 After the Procedure – Mild Discomfort, Not Pain
Post-surgery, most patients report:
- Mild soreness or tightness around the eyes
- Swelling or bruising (which is normal and temporary)
- A feeling of heaviness, like you haven’t slept well
But here’s the truth: severe pain is rare. Most discomfort is manageable with cold compresses, rest, and mild pain relievers prescribed by Dr. Dang. 💊
⏳ Healing Timeline
- Day 1–2: Some swelling & tightness
- Day 3–5: Stitches may be removed
- Day 7–10: Swelling reduces significantly
- Week 2–3: Most people return to normal life
- Week 4+: Final results begin to show 🎉
