Your
heredity and lifestyle are maybe two factors affecting the
results of aesthetic eyelid surgery, results of which are
usually long lasting.
Removal of fat from your eyelids is permanent.
Since this is usually the cause of puffiness and bags these
conditions generally do not recur. The aging of the skin continues
and skin laxity along the fine wrinkling of the eyelid area
may, at some point, return. Often loss of tone in the forehead
may lead to additional sagging of the eyebrows which mimics
the recurrence of the drooping upper eyelids. In case this
happens, a forehead lift or secondary eyelid procedure may
be required as a correction procedure.
In spite of the continuing aging process,
patients are usually happy with their appearance for many
years after their eyelid surgery. Some patients may want to
make additional improvements at a later time.

For
upper eyelid surgery, mostly, an incision is also made that
is hidden within the natural fold, of the upper eyelid. It
slightly extends beyond the outside corner into the laugh
line, or other existing creases. Excess skin or fatty tissues
are removed through this incision. Since the incision follows
the natural contour of the upper eyelid, it gets well camouflaged
when healed.
Incase
of the lower eyelid surgery, usually an incision is hidden
just below the lower lashes. Either the excess fat in both
the upper and lower eyelids is removed, or sometimes lower
eyelid fat is redistributed. 
Fortunately
for patients significant complications from aesthetic eyelid
surgery are infrequent. Year after year multitudes of people,
who have undergone the aesthetic eyelid surgery experience
no major problems and are pleased with the results. However
one should be aware of both the benefits and risks when considering
the surgery. A personal discussion on the subject of risks
and potential complications between you and your surgeon can
prove helpful. 
Post
– aesthetic eyelid surgery your appearance will change
as you look more rested, refreshed and alert. Because of the
gradual healing process you should expect to wait atleast
several weeks to see the final results of your eyelid surgery.
Incisions will fade over a number of months until they become
barely visible.
