The skin that is removed during eyelid/lift surgery is permanently removed. However, the surgery doesn't stop one from aging. Nor does it stop a falling forehead/brow from continuing its descent as one ages. A very common scenario post eyelid surgery is that the patient finds out that he/she really is a candidate for brow lift, neck lift, or facelift procedures as they continue to age.

The procedure takes about 30 mins and is expected to last several years to indefinite depending on hereditary factors.

It really is on an individual basis and also whether the excess skin on upper eyelid or fat pockets of lower. I would say that the length of improvement would vary from 5-15 years.

Thank you for sharing. Eyelids lifts should last a long time. Skin stretching, fat changes, and stretching of other tissues could occur years and years after a procedure, but the results are long lasting. The procedure itself is about 1 hour for most cases. Hope this helps

Depending on whether the upper lid, lower lid or both are being addressed, it can last from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
