Eye Shape Surgery Recovery and What to Expect
Recovery times following eye shape surgery can vary based on the specific procedure performed and each individual’s unique healing process. However, most patients can anticipate the following general recovery milestones. Please remember that these are broad guidelines, and we strongly recommend consulting with your surgeon at Wave Plastic Surgery for personalized recovery instructions tailored to your unique situation.
1. Immediate Post-Op
Mild swelling and bruising around the eyes are common immediately after surgery. Ice packs and prescribed medications can help reduce discomfort and swelling during this initial phase.
2. First Week
Swelling and bruising typically begin to diminish within the first week. Most patients feel comfortable resuming light activities at this stage, although rest is encouraged to promote optimal healing.
3. Two to Four Weeks
As the healing process progresses, the eyes gradually reveal their final shape. It’s essential to avoid any strenuous activities, such as heavy lifting or exercise until your surgeon provides clearance. Follow-up appointments with our team at Wave Plastic Surgery will help monitor your progress.
4. One to Three Months
Swelling is generally resolved by this time, and the full, enhanced eye shape becomes visible. Patients can enjoy their refreshed and balanced look, with results that blend seamlessly with their natural features.
At Wave Plastic Surgery, our team is committed to providing comprehensive aftercare, including detailed recovery instructions and scheduled follow-ups, to ensure a smooth, comfortable healing experience and beautiful, lasting results. For specific guidance on what to expect during your recovery journey, consult your surgeon for personalized recommendations suited to your procedure and goals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Eye Shape Surgery
Can you get surgery to change your eye shape?
Yes, there are several surgical procedures available to enhance or alter the shape of your eyes. Eye shape surgeries, like blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), canthoplasty, and lateral canthopexy, are commonly performed to create a more open, lifted, or symmetrical eye shape.
These procedures are tailored to each individual’s aesthetic goals and can address concerns such as drooping eyelids, asymmetry, or lack of eyelid crease. For a personalized plan, consult with one of our skilled plastic surgeons to determine the best options for achieving your desired eye shape.
How can I fix my eye shape?
Eye shape concerns, such as asymmetry, drooping, or a lack of definition, can often be addressed with specialized eye shape surgeries. Options like upper and lower blepharoplasty, canthoplasty, and double eyelid surgery are designed to correct specific issues, enhance balance, and improve the overall appearance of the eyes.
During your consultation at Wave Plastic Surgery, your surgeon will assess your eye structure and recommend the best approach to help you achieve a look that aligns with your aesthetic goals.
Can eye shape be corrected?
Yes, surgical procedures can effectively correct or enhance eye shape. For example, blepharoplasty can lift and refine the eyelids, while canthoplasty can create an almond or lifted eye shape. Other procedures may help to stabilize or adjust the outer corners of the eyes, providing a more symmetrical and balanced look.
It’s best to discuss your specific goals and concerns with one of our board-certified surgeons who can recommend a customized treatment plan based on your individual anatomy and desired results.
Will insurance pay for blepharoplasty?
Insurance may cover blepharoplasty if it is deemed medically necessary, such as when excess skin on the upper eyelid impairs vision. However, when performed solely for cosmetic purposes, blepharoplasty is typically not covered by insurance.
To determine whether your blepharoplasty could qualify for coverage, consult with your insurance provider and contact our team at Wave Plastic Surgery.
How long do results from eye shape surgery last?
The results of eye shape surgery are designed to be long-lasting, with enhancements to eye shape and symmetry often maintained for many years. While the natural aging process continues, the improvements made through surgery—such as a more open, lifted appearance or balanced symmetry—provide a lasting impact on the overall aesthetic.
To preserve the best results, patients are encouraged to follow proper skincare and avoid excessive sun exposure, which can contribute to signs of aging over time.
Is eye shape surgery painful?
Eye shape surgery is performed under anesthesia, ensuring that patients remain comfortable throughout the procedure. After surgery, it’s common to experience mild soreness, swelling, and bruising around the eye area. This minimal discomfort is typically manageable with prescribed pain relief and cold compresses.
Most patients find that any discomfort lessens significantly within the first few days, and our team is available to provide support and guidance throughout the recovery period.
Can I combine eye shape surgery with other procedures?
Yes, eye shape surgery can be effectively combined with other facial enhancements, such as brow lifts, facial contouring, or skin resurfacing treatments, to achieve a balanced, harmonious look. Combining procedures is a common approach for patients who wish to address multiple aesthetic goals in one treatment plan.
During a consultation, one of our board-certified plastic surgeons will assess your facial structure and recommend complementary procedures that align with your overall aesthetic vision, tailoring a plan that best suits your unique goals.
