Like most facial aesthetic procedures, blepharoplasty is performed on an outpatient basis. This means that you get to go home the same day of surgery. Not having to stay in hospital is a great advantage of this procedure, as you can recover in a familiar environment and you eliminate the risk of a hospital-acquired infection. You will be seen by your surgeon in the office the next day. If you have any questions while you are recovering, you may reach you surgeon via telephone or email.
