Exosomes are applied topically on the delicate eyelid skin to shorten the healing time and further improve skin quality.
what to expect from your blepharoplasty recovery
The blepharoplasty recovery process is generally straightforward, but it’s essential to follow Dr. Lacerna's post-operative instructions carefully. Here’s what you can expect:
Initial Recovery
Most patients experience some swelling and bruising in the first few days after surgery. Keeping your head elevated and using cold compresses can help minimize these effects.
Return to Activities
Many patients feel comfortable resuming normal activities within 7-10 days after their eyelid surgery.
Final Results
While you'll notice improvements soon after surgery, the final results of your upper or lower blepharoplasty may take several weeks to fully develop as swelling subsides.
Follow-Up Appointments
Dr. Lacerna will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your healing process and ensure optimal results.

Love everyone at this office! They take the time to listen to your thoughts and concerns and genially care about your well being. I'm also very happy with my results!! Dr. Lacerna is amazing at her craft and I'd recommend her to anyone. Post procedure, you are the only patient in the recover room so there is a very high level of patient care, which I greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!

Fantastic service and results. I came from out of state for a cosmetic procedure and Dr. Lacerna and her staff made me feel at home. I was most pleased with her knowledge on the scientific literature behind the procedures and explaining which procedure was right for me based on my skin. Highly recommend.

As a female plastic surgeon staring at 50, my face and body needed rejuvenation; however, I did not have a lot of time to recuperate. Dr. Lacerna is known for her amazing rejuvenation techniques. Last week, I underwent a total rejuvenation from head to knees and I LOVE my results!! I look better at 50 than at 25!! And I was back in my clinic on day 5 !!!! I have minimal swelling and bruising thanks to her treatments and procedures! I wished I had done this sooner!
