Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery is typically recommended for those who 

- Have drooping upper eyelids or under-eye bags (either due to aging or genetics).
- Need functional correction for vision impairment caused by excess skin.
- Who want a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
- Who has concerns like sagging skin or under-eye bags.
- Who has vision issues caused by drooping eyelids.
- People with inherited eyelid issues (e.g., ptosis).
- Individuals who want more permanent results after non-surgical treatments.

-  For individuals who have tried other options (like Botox, fillers, or topical treatments) but havent achieved the desired results, blepharoplasty can offer a more permanent solution.

The recovery process after eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) generally takes a few weeks, though the full healing process may take several months. Proper aftercare is essential for ensuring the best results and minimizing the risk of complications

- First Few Days (Immediate Post-Op) : swelling and bruising around the eyes are common and usually peak within the first 2 to 3 days after surgery. Most patients experience noticeable swelling and some bruising, particularly around the eyes and upper cheeks. Apply cold compresses to your eyes for 10-20 minutes at a time during the first 48 hours to help reduce swelling and bruising. Keep your head elevated while resting or sleeping to reduce swelling.

Avoid rubbing or pressing on your eyes, as this can increase swelling and disrupt healing. You cas have some discomfort, tightness, or a feeling of pressure around the eyes is normal. 

Avoid wearing makeup on your eyes during the first week to prevent irritation and infection.

- Week 1-2 After Eyes Surgery : By the second week, swelling and bruising should begin to improve noticeably. However, some residual swelling can still be present, especially in the mornings or by the end of the day.

You may still have some mild puffiness around the eyes, but it should be less intense than in the first few days.

You can start light activity After 7 days, you may be cleared to return to mild, non-strenuous activities (such as short walks) but avoid heavy lifting or intense exercise. Still need to avoid rubbing or Scratching, Make up, strenuous Activites and contact lens


- 1 Month After Eyelid Surgery : Swelling and bruising should have significantly improved by 1 month. Some mild, residual swelling may remain but it should continue to fade over time. Scars will still be visible but should start to soften and flatten. In upper eyelid surgery, the incisions are usually hidden in the natural eyelid crease, while lower eyelid surgery scars are typically well-concealed under the lash line or inside the eyelid.

You can begin resuming light activities and low-impact exercise. However, avoid activities that put pressure on your eyes, like lifting heavy objects or vigorous workouts.

The final result of your eyelid surgery may not be fully apparent until 3-6 months post-surgery, as any lingering swelling continues to resolve. While you'll see improvement in the first few weeks, it can take several months for the full benefits to show up as the skin and tissues settle into their new position. 

Avoid Strenuous Activity By 3-6 months, you can return to more intense activities and exercise. Be mindful to avoid putting excessive pressure on your eyes or eyelids, especially during intense workouts.
