Blepharoplasty is a very common surgery during this period, as recovery time is short and compatible with work routines. So, here are some post-operative care tips:

1- Compresses, compresses, compresses: never too many. Use cold saline solution or chamomile tea on a gauze pad, as much as you can in the first few days. NEVER use ice.

2- Sunglasses help protect from the sun, preventing hyperpigmentation and improving scarring, and also help with light sensitivity in the beginning, even at night. The eyes become more swollen and sensitive.

3- Don’t lower your head, or the crown will fall off. Actually, you’ll swell twice as much… the same applies to blowing your nose, sneezing, and intense exercise in the first week.

4- We usually prescribe a lubricating eye drop and an ointment or gel to apply inside the eye (not on the scar, but on the eye itself): in the first few days, the eye may not close properly due to swelling and muscle weakness.
