Usually patients have a short recovery time after blepharoplasty.
Although bruising and swelling is usually worse on the day after surgery, they
quickly begin to disappear.
During the first 48 hours the use of cool
compresses can greatly reduce bruising and swelling around the eyes and face.
Light activity such as walking will also help speed healing. Thin
bandages are usually placed over the incision sites and removed in several
days, while the stitches can remain in the skin for about a week.
Sometimes self-absorbing stitches are used that do not require removal.
Most people return to normal activities after 7 to 10 days
following blepharoplasty . By 2 weeks
after eyelid surgery, the majority of the bruising and swelling will resolve.
