Before your appointment
Assess eyelid function, dry eye and realistic goals. Clarify upper, lower or combined surgery and arrangements for wound review.
Time, hospital stay & appointments
Times are planning guides, not national averages or guaranteed schedules. They reflect published provider examples and patient guidance. The treating team confirms the individual plan, time needed near the clinic and fitness to travel. Waiting lists are not included.
- Procedure or course duration
- NHS example: 45 minutes to 2½ hours, depending on the operation.
- Hospital stay
- Often arranged as day surgery, with observation before discharge. Some patients need an overnight stay; confirm an escort, local support and the centre’s discharge criteria.
- Visits and repeat attendance
- Plan for preoperative assessment, one operation attendance or admission, and postoperative review. These are three planning stages, not a guaranteed total of three visits: tests, wound care or staged treatment may add appointments.
- Recovery and travel planning
- Swelling and bruising affect early appearance. Ask about eye care and stitch removal; NHS guidance notes that many people take around 2 weeks off work.
