What's involved?

Answer:

Your eyelid surgery will be performed under either a local or general anaethestic at your preferred hospital. Regardless of the location, this anaethestic will be performed by a member of the Australian Society of Anaethetists, hand selected by Dr Hunt.

Dr Hunt will then make tiny incisions along the natural lines of your upper or lower eyelids, using his skills and years of experience to minimise any scarring. Dr Hunt will then remove any excess fat, skin or muscle.

When can I go home?

Answer:

You will usually be able to go home the same day as your eyelid surgery. You will be given a prescription for medication at this time, so that you can manage any pain once you get home.

Will I have to return for post-operative care?

Answer:

You will see Dr Hunt five days after your surgery, at which time the first of your sutures will be removed. You will then see Dr Hunt again a week later, to discuss your progress and remove the remainder of your sutures.
